It would seem that it is not a problem to find a place where you can have breakfast in Prague, but in reality it is a problem. Most cafes and restaurants in Prague open at 11:00 or 12:00. Don't wait until then for breakfast! Believe me, there are several places in Prague where you can have a delicious breakfast.

Simple and fast

Most restaurants fast food, which includes McDonald's, offer breakfasts. They, of course, are not distinguished by originality, but they will help to pacify hunger. These establishments are located in different parts of Prague, including the center, and are inexpensive.

Another place where you can have breakfast is the hotel. You can go even from the street to a restaurant at the hotel and order breakfasts for a fee, no one will blame you for this.

Early birds

Yet in Prague you can find several cafes and restaurants on the menu, which have breakfasts - snídaně. They are offered, as a rule, from 8:00. We will tell you about some of them.

V Café Savoy(Vítězná 5, Praha 5 Malá Strana) offer a choice of 5 set breakfasts. This is a popular place, so if you plan to visit there, make a reservation in advance.

Prádelnacafé(Slavíkova 21, 120 00, Praha 2) - a very tiny institution, only 20 seats, but the food here is incredible delicious pastries and very hearty breakfasts... The prices are akin to the premises - just as small.

If you want to have breakfast among the locals and plunge into the real Prague, you will have to leave the center and visit Café Jen(Kodaňská 37, Prague 10 - Vršovice). Here guests are offered both cold and hot breakfasts.

Pastacaffé

In a cafe bar Pastacaffé(Vězeňská 141/1, 110 00 Josefov) you can order a thoughtful complex breakfast or choose from the menu.

In the restaurant COMO(Václavské náměstí 45/818, Prague 1) offers a choice of 7 set breakfasts, including a fitness breakfast. By the way, drinks are included in the breakfast price.

A restaurant Home kitchen (Jungmannova 8, Praha 1 - NovéMěsto) It is very reminiscent of the home, it is also warm and cozy here, and the same delicious breakfasts are prepared.

In the cafe Můj šálek kávy (Křižíkova 105, Praha 8) has its own bakery, it is famous for its pastries. Just imagine the sweet aromas hovering there.

Want to have breakfast pretty in an original way? Then head to the farmers market Náplavka (Náplavka, Praha 2). Here life is in full swing from the very morning, voices are heard everywhere, and the air is saturated with the aroma of coffee and fresh pastries. Buy warm rolls with jam, coffee at the kiosk and have breakfast on the river bank with the ducks.

In search of a zest

The inhabitants of Prague are not particularly picky about food. For breakfast, they have a slice of cereal bread with pork or chicken ham... They can diversify it with cheese, sausages, eggs or jam. Czechs also love sweet pastries such as donuts.
Breakfast is washed down mainly with tea with lemon or coffee. But fruit juices rarely appear on their table.
As you can see, the traditional Czech breakfast is very simple, without a twist, so when ordering food in restaurants and cafes, be guided by your taste.

Czech Republic is considered delicious country and Prague, as a tourist megabrand, is generally a gastronomic destination. The portions are huge, the beer is delicious, restaurants for every taste and budget are at every step.

They argue about tastes, oh, how they argue! Therefore, I take a risk and still offer my subjective selection "Oh-yes, food!" first approach.

I look forward to your comments and feedback, where you have been, what you have tried, or what you would like to try.

Czech cuisine itself is simple and satisfying, I would say unhealthy. Beer and fatty sausages, flour dumplings and sauces. But!

Czechs are great adapters. Possessing such super-strength as the ability to take the best from their neighbors, they wonderfully use this skill in the national cuisine.

So, we study the menu

TOP drinks

Beer What is your first association with the Czech Republic? BEER, of course. Honestly, I don't drink beer, so all information on beer is collected here

Drinking no beer is not an excuse for finding information, so grab a recommendation from my local friends: worth a visit beer with telling names Hard Times and Ball Lightning

Mineral water Mattoni, which Czechs are very proud of. Highly recommend with delicate notes of aromatic grapefruit. You can buy it at any supermarket. Kofola Mega Popular Pop Kofola(a la drink Baikal), positioned as a herbal drink. For me - Coca-Cola in Czech. Absinthe is a popular tourist trap.

What to eat?

"Little bread" - chlebicek (bread), or a story about a presidential sandwich.

While walking in the center, do not be lazy to stop by the Jan Paukert grocery store, which has been operating at 17 Narodni trida Street since 1916.

The owner has invented a new one! the formula of the “Czech sandwich” recipe, which was especially favored by the first President of the Republic, Garrick Mazarik. Breads instantly became a symbol of the quality of Czechoslovakia.

The recipe for the “Czech Sandwich” - originally a slice of bread spread with homemade mayonnaise with Swiss cheese and Hungarian salami, is now offered in a variety of flavors.

My Czech friend says that real bread is sandwiches with potato and egg salad, salami with cheese.

Khlebichiki

We tried our first baked breads in an inexpensive culinary network with a terrific, self-explanatory name Libeřské lahůdky (lahudki is translated just like delitkatesy).

Czechs are very fond of this place and besides bread you can taste typical Czech salads, pies and pastries. They also accept payments in these shops.

Advice: The next time you feed the whole family with a sandwich breakfast, do not forget to intrigue them by the fact that today they are waiting for bread! 🙂

Traditional beer snacks are also sausages and other drowned people(drowned) - these are huge sausages with bacon, drenched in marinade, drowned in a huge amount of onions, spices and languishing in all this for several days.

Fried cheese Is another traditional snack. Unlike the drowned man, I tried the fried cheese, but did not understand the taste. But crispy koloboks - cheese croquettes from the heart I recommend.

What to eat?

If you decide to enjoy the beauty of Christmas Prague, then it is ideal to bask during your walks soups.

TOP soups

Garlic soup- Cesnecka (garlic). Prepared with the addition of smoked meats, very tasty and aromatic, served with bread croutons. Goulash soup - Gulasova polevka (gulashova vole).

The name speaks for itself - thick, aromatic, meat soup(greetings from Austria-Hungary).

Try serving it in a loaf of bread under a bread lid. I liked it in the Potrefena husa restaurant chain (Wounded duck). The net belongs to the Staropramen brewery and is quite popular among tourists, which is reflected in the price. But it has a menu in Russian and Russian-speaking waiters (in the center, both points are in almost any cafe and pub).

Potato soup - Bramboracka

The name speaks for itself. Yummy.

If you manage to get to Prague during the "soup days" on the embankment, then a belly holiday is guaranteed for you.

TOP main dishes

Svichkova - Svickova na smetane (svichkova on sour cream).

This is beef tenderloin, very soft meat, it just melts in your mouth, served with flour dumplings (pieces of bread, in my opinion), which need to be dipped in a greasy gravy (omachka sauce). Love for sauces is clearly a hello from Italy. I would call this dish: "Goodbye, waist!" By the way, dumplings are a typical Czech dish, they can be flour, potato and even dessert - fruit.

Boar knee - Pecene veprove koleno(Vepr's knee in the liver).

Tourist Bomb: Huge Baked pork knuckle... A portion for 2-3 hungry tourists. We haven't tried it. Roast duck with sauerkraut and dumplings - Pecena kachna (baked kakhna). Usually a serving is a quarter of a duck. Greetings from the Germans!
Czech cuisine. Svichkova and dumplings

TOP desserts

"Fool" - Trdlo (trdlo) - the most important tourist trap. We read about him here Waffles - Oplatky (payments). Great idea for a sweet gift from the Czech Republic if you buy in supermarkets. Apple strudel- Hello again from Austria-Hungary. Best Strudel bakery

Where can I dine for 100 CZK or less?

We select a restaurant on the site depending on the area of ​​Prague.

What I really like are the places where the “calorie bombs” are accumulating.

Czech confectionery is Cukrárna from the word Cukr (Cukr) - sugar, and a coffee shop - kavárna (kavarna) from the word kavá (coffee).

I hope this collection will be useful to you. The first part of the cheat sheet is here

The beauty of the Czech Republic cannot be fully understood without tasting traditional dishes - the country's national pride. But entering any, even the most modest restaurant, you get lost in front of a huge selection of first and second courses, not to mention the variety of beer snacks, which would be quite enough for a separate menu.

By the way, if you decide to taste all the most delicious and famous Czech dishes national cuisine, you will have to put up with a couple of extra centimeters on the hips and waist - the food here is very high in calories, hearty; Czechs are very fond of meat (poultry, game, pork and beef) cooked in a variety of ways. And the portions in restaurants are so large that it is quite possible to order one dish for two ... all that remains is to decide what to order?

We present the TOP-10 of the most famous and delicious traditional dishes Czech cuisine that you should definitely try.

Read in this article

Baked pork knee

The traditional delicious dish (Рečené vepřové koleno) is comparable to spaghetti in Italy or pilaf in Uzbekistan and is a real gastronomic brand. A fragrant, juicy, ruddy, pork knee on the bone, ready-made, weighs almost a kilogram and is ordered, as a rule, for 2-4 people. It is prepared in every restaurant and pub, but it is served differently: with horseradish, tomatoes, garlic and spices, not to mention numerous sauces and gravies.

A baked leg with mustard and horseradish under beer will cost 200 CZK. If you order only a knee, its cost will be 150-160 CZK.

Dumplings

Dumplings are the holy of holies of Czech national cuisine. Although, the most interesting thing is that initially this dish belonged to Austrian and German cuisines, but today it has become national dish Czech Republic, its culinary symbol... In fact, this is an oblong piece of dough boiled in a large amount of water or steamed (mixed with flour or with the addition of potatoes), which is then cut across like a loaf and served as a side dish, for example, to the same baked knee. It is interesting that the dumplings themselves are not very expressive and do not have a bright taste, but in combination with meat and sauces they perfectly absorb all the flavors of the main dish.

Well, if you pour dumplings with sweet berry syrup and decorate with fruits, you get a delicious dessert. Dumplings are inexpensive - from 5 to 20 kroons.

Remember! Portions in the Czech Republic are generous, so do not rush to order everything at once, it is better to take main courses at the rate: one for 2-3 people.

Drowned men, klobasy, tlachenki

Beer snacks such as crackers, chips or nuts simply fade against the background of real Czech appetizer- delicious meat sausages! They are usually served grilled with a variety of sauces.

The most popular sausages that you should definitely try in the Czech Republic are:

The drowned ones who look like utopenci on the menu are quite vigorous, soaked in vinegar marinade pork sausages, because of their bright taste, they are used only with beer.

Fried sausages, they are also klobasa - a product that tastes less harsh; these mouth-watering sausages are good on their own, and when combined with a foamy drink, they become simply divine.

Tlachenka (and in Czech - tlacenka) is a meat dish resembling a strong jellied meat or brawn, made from pork legs, tongue or offal and consumed with vinegar. When served, it is flavored with peppers, onions and vinegar.

Advice! In pubs and restaurants in the Czech Republic, they always cook in the morning and serve food only freshly prepared. Therefore, if you want to try the most famous dishes, it is better to go for a meal in the morning or closer to lunch, because by evening, there is no longer a trace of local delicacies of the first demand.

Please note: very often sausages are sold right on the streets of Prague. This is an old tradition, so in the Czech capital, the numerous chewing tourists looking at the sights with a sausage in one hand are not at all surprised. Among the street assortment, it is worth trying the Bavarian, Staroprazh, Prague and Wenceslas sausages, the cost of which ranges from 50 to 80 CZK. The price includes dumplings or bread and sauces: mayonnaise, mustard, ketchup.

Vepro-dummy-zelo

If you decide to taste local delicacies conscientiously, you will not get off with one pork knee. Be sure to order this at the restaurant hearty dish like Vepřo-knedlo-zelo, which is fried pork with stewed cabbage, served with dumplings.

Usually, portions of a shoulder or loin are used for cooking, marinated in spices and first fried in a pan, and then baked in the oven. In the process of baking, the pork is poured with broth and the resulting juice, so that as a result the meat is very tender and juicy, literally melting. The Czechs are generally very fond of and skillfully cook pork, which, moreover, is much cheaper than lamb or beef... Well, stewed cabbage for a side dish is a classic of the genre, just like in Germany.

You can order this legendary dish at the Strahov Monastery for only 140 CZK.

Czech soups

To be in the Czech Republic and not taste local soups - polevki - is a real crime. The first courses here are very hearty, rich, delicious home-style. They can rightfully be considered the property of the country. Liquid transparent soups - not about Czechs, no. Respect here thick first dishes, and to create the appropriate consistency, they usually add vegetable purees, semolina or flour mash. Fried yeast is an unusual ingredient used in soups to give it an interesting flavor.

Note! Often soups are served in a bread roll - be sure to try it, it is very beautiful, but most importantly - delicious!

The most popular first courses in the Czech Republic are:

Česnečka - fragrant and unusually tasty soup with garlic and smoked meats,

Pivní polévka - original soup with beer, served with cheese croutons,

Bramboračka - the famous potato and mushroom soup; by the way, it is him, according to tradition, served in bread,

Kulajda - a thick soup with mushrooms and potatoes, flavored with sour cream, served with a boiled egg.

A portion of Czech soup costs 40 CZK and more.

Goulash

It would seem that does a traditional dish Hungary in the list of the most popular Czech cuisine dishes? In fact, the Czechs have borrowed it for themselves long ago and they even love and respect it very much. In catering establishments, you can find a variety of variations of goulash - it is prepared from traditional beef and pork, but also from veal, rabbit, lamb and cold cuts. There are Sebedinsky, rural, hunting, Slovak, Hungarian and other types of goulash. We advise you to try one of its variations in authentic Czech establishments - this is not a tourist dish, so it is easiest to find it in restaurants that are geared towards locals.

The cost of 200 gr, for example, beef goulash from Pilsen with dumplings, is 100-120 CZK.

Fried carp

Despite the fact that the Czechs are ardent fans of pork in any form, fish is also respected here. Especially recommended to taste fried carp(on the menu - pečený kapr) - this particular dish is a must-have element of the Christmas festive table... You should also not give up the baked trout - Pečený pstruh.

One fish costs 110-150 CZK.

Olomouc cheeses

Cheese is loved in the Czech Republic, especially as a beer snack. Definitely try soft cheese Hermeline, which resembles Camembert in its white mold, as well as varieties such as Pivni Syr and Zlata Niva.

But the most important thing cheese platter First of all, those to be tasted are Olomuk cheese cakes, fried in breadcrumbs. Olomuka cheese itself is made only in the Czech Republic and has a specific unpleasant odor, which, however, completely disappears when frying. Olomuk cheeses go especially well with beer and regular rye bread with onion.

A portion fried cheese(150 gr) with tartar sauce will cost 120-150 CZK.

Trdlo

To taste trdelnik, or trdlo, he is a "fool", you can basically only on the street. This sweet pastries made from butter yeast dough, which is wound on a metal rolling pin and fried on the grill or in the oven. The finished trdlo is removed from the rolling pin and sprinkled with sugar, poppy seeds, chopped nuts or flavored coconut flakes.

It is interesting that similar pastries, albeit under different names, are baked and sold on the streets of Hungary and Slovakia.

One trdlo costs 45-50 CZK, and if you add nutella to its taste, then 60 CZK.

Strudel

Despite the fact that in the Czech Republic there are many national desserts (vanochki, kolache, etc.), the leader in taste and the good old German-Austrian strudel, which you can recognize on the menu by the word "závin", is in demand.

It is prepared here at the highest level, wrapped in thinly rolled unleavened dough the most different fillings: fruits, berries, cottage cheese, etc.

Many restaurants in Prague offer "continental breakfast", i.e. a set consisting of tea / coffee, pastries, cheese, sausages, ham.

Judging by the fact that many locals rush to work in the morning and still hold a cup of Starbucks tea or coffee in one hand, it can be concluded that most of them simply do not have time for breakfast, or they just have breakfast.

A large number of restaurants in the capital offer "continental breakfast", i.e. a set consisting of tea / coffee, pastries, cheese, sausages, ham. But if you are not an early bird, and your breakfast starts after 10:00, then in the Czech Republic you can easily miss it, since in many establishments, including hotels, it ends at 10:00. But don't let that upset you too much - go right to lunch.

How can I save up to 20% on hotels?

It's very simple - look not only at the booking. I prefer the search engine RoomGuru. He is looking for discounts on Booking and 70 other booking sites at the same time.

Prague is the capital of the Czech Republic, a cozy European country with a relatively high level prices and a huge number of attractions. It is an amazingly beautiful and elegant city.

In the article Kidpassage will tell you about the local culinary attractions, as well as how much food is in Prague.

What to try in Prague from food

Czech cuisine has a very ancient history... It developed under the influence of its closest neighbors and took over a lot from them. For example, goulash migrated to Czech cuisine from Hungary, schnitzel was borrowed from Austria, and from Germany - stewed cabbage and roasted goose with apples.

As Czech culinary traditions are mainly of Slavic roots, there are many soups and meat dishes cooked in the way we are used to. However, sauces cooked according to traditional recipes, add their piquancy to the taste of dishes.

It's fashionable in the world now healthy eating, but Czech cuisine does not fully comply with its principles: all traditional food is high in calories, hearty and fatty. Dishes are usually served with dumplings and washed down with a lot of beer.

In this region, preference is given to cooking meat dishes: pork, veal, rabbit, turkey. First, the meat is marinated in various sauces with the addition of a large amount of seasonings, and then stewed, boiled, baked or fried.

In a Czech restaurant, you might be tempted to try everything at once. Take your time to order several dishes, because the portions are so large that one is more than enough for two. The food may not be as exquisite as in French restaurants, but it is very satisfying.

Polévky (soups) prefer to cook rich, with an abundance of various spices. They can be so thick that they can easily be confused with sauces. Be sure to order yourself some soup:

• Koprová polévka- dill soup with curdled milk, served with sour cream and herbs.
• Dršťková polévka- pork tripe soup.
• Bramborová polévka - potato soup with smoked meats and mushrooms.

Hlavní chod, or second courses, are prepared from meat that has been marinated for a long time. Here are some must-try foods:

• Pečené vepřové koleno- baked pork knuckle. Crown dish traditional cuisine. If you order it, keep in mind that the portion weight is usually more than 1 kg.
• Pečené kachna- baked duck. The poultry is cooked whole and served with sauerkraut.
• Svíčková nasmetaně is one of the most famous Czech dishes. This is beef or pork stewed with sauce. The main role in the taste is played by the sauce, which is made from stewed vegetables whipped until puree. Then sour cream is added to the sauce, and berry sauces... This dish is served with dumplings.
• Hovězí guláš s knedlíkem - beef goulash with dumplings. The meat is stewed in a very thick gravy. Flour or potato dumplings are served as an addition.

The Czech Republic is famous throughout the world for its beer. Here it is brewed by old recipes several hundred years. One of the currently operating breweries was founded in the XII century, it still functions, beer is brewed here, which is called Chodovar.

This brewery is located in the famous restaurant in the Chodovar rock. Walking around Prague, you will meet beer restaurants everywhere, be sure to stop by and try one or several varieties, for example:

• Pilsner urquell- the most famous beer, it is a light variety of golden color with a rich taste of malt and herbs, it has a slightly bitter aftertaste.
• Budweiser budvar- deeply fermented beer, it is brewed from hops and Moravian malt.
• Bernard is a popular beer that has been brewed since the 16th century.

Incredibly tasty and aromatic snacks are served with beer. Here are some of them:

• Tlačenka is a brawn made from meat and offal.
• Grilované klobásky- grilled sausages with a fragrant crispy crust.
• Pivni sýr obložený- beer cheese. Original appetizer from bread, cheese, fish and onions.

How much does it cost to eat in Prague

When planning to travel around this country, most tourists wonder what to try in Prague and how much it will cost. If we compare prices relative to other European countries, we can say that here they are slightly lower than the average European.

But it should be remembered that this is the capital, respectively, and food prices in Prague will be slightly higher than elsewhere in remote cities or in other Czech resorts.

The highest food prices can be found in restaurants and cafes in the Prague 1 district. The most affordable meals can be ordered in Prague 7, 9 and 10: in these districts, the main course will cost 108 CZK on average.

In the capital of the Czech Republic, you can find relatively inexpensive establishments: it is worth a little distance from the tourist routes, take a walk and at the same time see how the indigenous people of Prague live. You're in luck if you find a place where the locals prefer to eat.

The price difference is very large. For example, if lunch in the center costs 500 CZK, then somewhere far from it, a few blocks away, it will be very hearty lunch will cost 150-200 CZK.

In restaurants with a lot of locals, the portions will be much larger, prices are lower, and the service is slightly simpler than in tourist establishments. In Prague, you will always find places to eat for every taste and budget. The cheapest food in Prague is the one sold on the streets.

• It will be useful:

In the very center of the capital, there are two squares: Old Town Square and Wenceslas Square. These squares, in addition to their architectural ensembles and medieval buildings, attract tourists with mouth-watering spicy aromas.

There are stalls right here where you can have a hearty and tasty snack before visiting any attractions.

So, what to eat in Prague if you are hungry and don't have the time?

The most popular is the Old Prague ham or Prosciutto di Praga - a pork ham roasted on a spit. Resourceful traders have come up with a trick for tourists: the price of a ham is about 80 CZK per 100 g, but a portion weighs at least half a kilo. And our equally resourceful tourists have found a way out: they buy one portion for several people.

Among other snacks, it is worth highlighting:

• Trdlo- 60-70 CZK. This is a very common Czech delicacy, in essence - plain bun from yeast dough, sprinkled icing sugar or nuts, which is baked on a wood spit.
• Sausages- from 70 CZK per serving. They are grilled, coated with mustard and placed inside the bun.
• Bramborac- from 70 CZK for 300 g. This is a traditional dish that closely resembles our potato pancakes.
• Smazhak- from 50 CZK. Deep fried cheese, but the street option is a simple cheese sandwich.
• Beer- from 50 CZK for 0.5l.
• Coffee- from 35 CZK per cup.

It is impossible not to mention McDonald’s, Burger King and KFCA, popular among all tourists, where a standard menu will cost a little more than 100 CZK.

We cannot recommend these establishments for a daily meal, but for an inexpensive snack in the city, these options may be ideal, especially since the food here is always fresh, its composition has long been known to everyone, and they will be fed quickly, without queues and long waits for the waiter.

Fans of fish dishes should pay attention to the Nordsea fish bistro (). Salads, snacks, hot meals, sandwiches from seafood - always of high quality and inexpensive.
