This traditional beer hall is a great place for late pub eats and even later beers. With a restaurant downstairs and a pub on the second-floor balcony, the whole place hums well into the night. Traditional Czech food is available on an extensive menu, but most come for the renowned beer, which can be a meal in itself.

This is vegetarian dining with an edge. Diners can enjoy a cafe, lounge and restaurant, all of which are decorated in a modern cavernous style. The food is a bit less exciting than the ambience, but that doesn't stop a loyal patronage.

Located in the Old Town quarter, this is arguably one of Prague's best eateries. The dining room is minimalistic yet at least two different seven-course meals await visitors, with the chance to sample both food and wine. The Boheme Bourgoisie menu provides a spin on classic European food, while the Degustation du Chef often draws inspiration from old Czech cookbooks and raises the bar on the level of classic Czech cuisine. It is a bit pricey, but well worth it. Open Monday to Saturday for dinner only. Closed Sundays. Reservations essential.
