Eating in Prague

Just curious what the average US cost for a nice sit down dinner is in Prague now? I can remember in 1990 having a 5 course meal at the Inter Continental and it was something like $5.00 ...

How do you define a nice, sit down dinner? Fine dining? If so, it's definitely a lot more than $5 now. Terace u Zlate Studne tasting menu was $90 w/out wine, about $145 with (per person).

We ate and drank very well in Prague for 25-30USD per person.

Yes, most average meals were $15-$25 for us

The things I loved, personally, about dining in Prague were the beer and the game. Had venison, wild boar, rabbit, and lots of great brew.

 

If you have a chance and love beer, by all means visit the brewpub at the Strahov Monastery in the Castle District. Great food, great beer, and then great views of Prague in panorama as you walk back downhill to the Mala Strana.

We will be in Prague the 21st of this month for 3 nights as part of a Viking Cruise pre-cruise package. Looking forward to some great food and beer. Any other recommendations would be appreciated.

We have one night in Prague before our Elbe tour - and are staying at the Corinthia... We booked an extra night through Viking so actually have 2 nights there. Interesting that Viking uses more than one hotel - and both in different areas.

Have sourced out a couple of options in that area for meals.

Exciting. I'm looking forward to Venison.

Three that we enjoyed were the Kolkovna Olympia in the Mala Strana (mostly locals eating there), Pivovarsky Dum, and the Potrefena Husa. The Potrefena Husa is a Staropramen-owned restaurant chain, and we ate at the one right at the brewery which is in a bit of an industrial - gritty area. (We stayed at the excellent nearby Hotel General.) Neither one is "fine dining," but both offer delicious local specialties at very reasonable prices. The Olympia was pretty smoky from nearby cigarettes when we were there, so be forewarned.

Note that Staropramen is owned by Molson/Coors, but their beer is all Czech. Pivovarsky Dum is a brewpub that rotates eight different beers; their craft brews were quite different from those that one might routinely encounter in a US craft brewery, and several had a lot to do with infused fruits.

Just returned. Spent 5 days in Prague, and will be honest, there are so many restaurants, I doubt you can have a bad meal anywhere. Prices are great. Menus usually offer "typical Czech food". Beer is lovely.:D

We ate all over "old town", and drank the water. No issues:o

We were warned re pricing scams, i.e. extra charges for view, extra charges for eating outside, etc etc.... Never had any issues with bill.
