Where to eat in Prague, five tips for restaurants and snacks with the most popular street food in the Czech Republic, read the post.
If I had to describe Prague in just two adjectives, I would say: bohemian and edible.
Bohemian because Prague oozes an Art Nouveau essence from every stone that paves its streets.
Mangereccia well, this speaks for itself.
In Prague you can eat everywhere: from the center to the outlying areas there is a riot of bars, art nouveau style cafes, kiosks and ethnic restaurants. A gastronomic tour around the city cannot ignore trying every type of local food. There Czech cuisine is very caloric and substantial, either to cope with the freezing winters, like those in Prague, or for the traditional (and poor) raw materials used in Central Europe.
I suggest you where to eat at Prague in 5 places starting from the most unusual places and ending with a great classic: street food.
Vytopna Restaurant
This restaurant will not do just that joy of the little ones but also of all adults who, like me, love the train in all its forms! Entering the Vytopna you will find that the entire room is crossed by meters and meters of tracks which, starting from the kitchens, arrive on each table with a freight yard!
You will be served by scale models with fully functional locomotives and wagons! Once the drinks have been picked up, the train will leave for the bar area to load more drinks. Needless to say, the children (but not only) went crazy at the passage of every train.
Everything is taken care of in every detail: from settings to models, up to family tables literally crossed by large sleepers. The dishes served in this place range from the typical soups to goulash, up to more international dishes such as chips, chicken wings or burgers for the more “global” tourists.
Medieval Tavern
Apparently this venue is the oldest in Prague, exercising continuously from 1375. The peculiarity of this inn are the settings in pure medieval style: underground rooms, furs as seats, spartan wooden tables, skulls on the ceilings and lighting entrusted to the suggestive light of the torch fire. In the evening this tavern comes alive with live shows of odalisques, fire eaters and jugglers that exactly recreate the atmosphere and the environment of a perfect medieval inn.
The food is also served in a very choreographed way: whole pork shanks with cutlery embedded in meats and wooden plates and cutlery. A decidedly unusual atmosphere!
Hard Rock Cafe
This place is a must for those who love good live music, music in general and memorabilia related to artists who have made history. The Hard Rock Cafe in Prague really is awesome it develops, in fact, in several floors. A beautiful and huge crystal chandelier guitar-shaped dominates the central (empty) part of all 5 floors.
Every square centimeter of the walls is occupied by memorabilia and objects belonging to sacred monsters of international music: from the ax-shaped guitars of Kiss to the guitar of Bob Dylan, passing through the pants of Bono Vox up to the costumes of Prince. The custom bike of Steven Tyler of Aerosmith is on display in the window.
The shop to buy the famous brooches and legendary T-shirts is a must. Excellent is the tex mex food than the mega burgers served with fries.
Prague Ham stalls
These kiosks are located in the Old Town Square, practically under the astronomical clock tower. Prague ham is roasted “live” on the grill and is served hot with a slice of the typical black bread of Prague. A mix between street food and good local gastronomy.
This meat delicacy can be enjoyed on the tables in front of the kiosk with some good Czech beer, perhaps listening to the jazz quartet that every day cheers the tourists who crowd the square.
Kiosks of the Trdlo
In Prague you could take a delicious tour of Trdlo, there are many kiosks that prepare and sell this delicious dessert. This is the Bohemian sleeve: a pastry of dough twisted around a wooden cylinder that is swirled around on hot coals. When cooked, the Trdlo or Trdelnik are generously sprinkled with sugar, vanilla and cinnamon.
It is impossible not to smell it on the streets! There are many kiosks that have specialized in the production of customized and particular Trdlo. In via Karlova, near the Charles Bridge, you can enjoy a Trdlo filled with ice cream, filled with chocolate or in a savory version with a pizza flavor.
