Staromacek (Czech restaurant)

Staromacek is a traditional Czech restaurant that presents a menu of old Bohemian cuisine, including a fine line in venison. Much of the preparation is on an open grill. Good selection of traditional Moravian wines and Pilsner beer.
Waiters are dressed in traditional costume and Staromácek comes into its own after dark, when a beautiful array of candles is lit around the restaurant.
As typical Czech restaurants, you won't find much better value just a few places from the Old Town Square.

Palffy Palac (Czech restaurant)

Situated in a 19th-century neo-Baroque palace, the Palffy offers an innovative mix of Czech and international specialities, with especially well-judged fish and game dishes. We appreciate very much the Fillet of Tropical Sole Baked with Roux Blond, Tomatoes and Saffron Served with Coriander(23€) , the Confited Quail Roll Stuffed with Mushroom-truffle Filling Served with Cumquat Sauce (20€) and the Veal Sweetbread with Green Asparagus and Shallot with Rosemary Sauce "Demi Glas"and Herbs Gnocci (26€).
Good value for this grade of establishment.. Enjoy!!

Novomestsky Pivovar (Czech restaurant)

Novomestsky Pivovar (the New Town Brewery) is situated close to Wenceslas Square in the centre of Prague. This excellent venue is a traditional Czech pub, restaurant and micro-brewery all rolled into one.
During the day, you might be lucky and get a table if you are passing. During the evening though, bookings are essential for both individuals and groups. Novomestsky is an extremely popular place for groups to meet, to start their night off.
Popular with both locals and tourists, the restaurant's massive pig's knee dish is famous throughout town. Over the last couple of years the staff's reputation for surliness has discouraged many. Make sure you check your bill before settling.

The restaurant serves hearty Czech food at very reasonable prices and you get a chance to sample some of the breweries own Pilsner beer. Fish and vegetarian options are also available, along with wine, spirits & soft drinks.

Modra Reka (Yugoslav restaurant)

Sometimes the best things really do come in small packages. A good example is this tiny Modra Reka, family-run restaurant that probably holds less than twenty people. No matter as whoever is here will taste some of the best Mediterranean-influenced Yugoslav cooking this side of the Adriatic.
The deliciously spicy menu includes Yugoslav classics such as cevapcici (minced meat kebabs) with adzvar (roast red pepper puree) and gibanica (a rich cake filled with fruit, nuts and poppy seeds).
A heaping platter of well-spiced beef fingers goes for 130 Kc. Other dishes, including fish, are equally as fair priced. Great Yugoslav pop soundtracks play in the background and, unlike seaside life in general, service is anything but slow.

Marie Teresie (Czech restaurant)

Marie Teresie is a classy restaurant in the heart of downtown Prague that focuses primarily on Czech specialities like ducks, trout, carps... Try "The Bowl of Marie Teresie" and "The Bowl of Prague" pork butcher, fruit dumplings and pancakes with blueberries and cream. Pretty good selection of Moravian wines, light and dark Krušovice beer..

Lvi Dvur (Lion's Court - Czech restaurant)

Lvi Dvur, set in a historic building near Prague Castle, was originally a menagerie for lions, tigers and bears until the mid-18th century. Now turned into a modern, informal dining room, Lvi Dvur offers a fine choice of Czech and international specialities with spit roast suckling pig being their 'piece de resistance', served with hot spicy sauce refined by white wine, with fried potato chips and fresh lettuce leaves!
Although a whole one will set you back approximately 150€, smaller portions can be ordered!!!

La Scène (French restaurant)

La Scène is a unique French restaurant in Prague. (1 star Guide Michelin). Tucked away in the back streets of the Old Town, this is an ambient haven where interior design, soft lighting, background tunes and culinary mastery carefully combine to create a feeling of well being and utter relaxation.
You will appreciate even more the food. French Chef works delicious preparations of foie gras, scallops, swordfish, lamb, duck and more, along with a fine selection of mouth-watering desserts.
We appreciate very much the degustation menu (around 1290Czk) made of Amuse Bouche, Tartar of smoked salmon and scallops topped with poached quail egg, lemon oil Italian “minestrone“ with season´s vegetables and home made pasta with parmesan, Fillet steak with grilled polenta and mixed wild mushrooms, peppercorn sauce, Deep fried vanilla ice cream with apple chutney and hot chocolate sauce…

La Perle de Prague (French restaurant)

La Perle de Prague is a restaurant located in exquisite spaces on the 7th floor of The Dancing House. From the air-conditioned restaurant a fantastic view can be had of Prague´s skyline including St. Vitus´s Cathedral and the presidential palace. During the summer months guests can take their lunch, dinner or just have a drink with friends on the terrace.
Sophisticated French dishes, such as Cognac infused duck liver terrine in a jelly of Porto wine and Sauternes, use only the best local produce, while the rack of lamb and fillet of red mullet are both exceptional. Ensure you also save room for one of their excellent desserts such as the trio of Créme Brulée. A real treat! The restaurant also offers a fine list of French wines to accompany your meal.
