Mexican cuisine, authentic Mexican flavors

OK, this is a strong statement, but Banditos near the I. P. Pavlova metro is where we've had some of the most authentic American-style Mexican food we have found in Prague so far. This especially goes for the enchilada plate complete with real refried beans and Mexican rice. The strange thing is that the same enchilada plate can be nothing but average the next time. Despite this inconsistency, we recommend Banditos as a good and cheap option for Mexican. The menu also offers burgers, sandwiches, steak, pasta, salads, and brunch

Metro: C to I. P. Pavlova or tram 4, 6, 10, 16, 17, 22 or 23 to Štepánská

  • Újezd 38, Prague 1
  • Zone: Prague 1
  • 12 noon - midnight

A fun place with good food

This Malá Strana restaurant has been around for years and is very popular. It is almost always busy and virtually impossible to get a table at after 7 p.m. if you don't have a reservation. The atmosphere is nice and cozy, the background music (in Spanish) pleasant. The service varies from person to person. We have found the food to range from great to so-so, depending on what you order. The slightly spicy Aztec bean soup is delicious and worth a special trip and the fajitas are very good, too. The chicken enchiladas are salty and can be mushy and the nachos con queso translate into a pile of dry tortilla chips covered with a gooey lid of melted cheese. Overall, worth a visit. Make a reservation!

Tram: 6, 9, 12, 20, 22 or 23 to Újezd

Huang He [1][2][3][4][5]
[Huang He]

Very enjoyable Chinese restaurant

We have yet to find truly authentic Chinese food in Prague, but Huang He works quite well to satisfy our craving from time to time. The location on the busy Vršovická Street in Prague 10 can be characterized as inconvenient and unattractive, yet the restaurant is quite popular and has been rated as one of the best Chinese restaurants in Prague. People supposedly come from across town to eat here. We find the food very tasty and are partial to the won ton soup, the simple chicken with mushrooms and bamboo shoots, and the exceptionally good fried rice. The service is a pleasure and comes with a smile and an Asian accent. Delicious complimentary Chinese plum wine will arrive with your bill.

Getting there: Vršovická location - tram 6, 7 or 24 to Nádraží Vršovice; Kolbenova location - metro B to Vysocanská

Klášterní pivovar Strahov (Monastery Brewery) [1][2][3][4][5]
[Klášterní pivovar Strahov (Monastery Brewery)]

Czech cuisine

This is a large brew pub and restaurant, completely renovated in 2001 and beautifully located across from the Strahov Monastery. The brew pub and St. Norbert Restaurant are divided into separate buildings with a pleasant outdoor area in between. The historic brewery dating back to the 17th century brews the very tasty St. Norbert beer (amber and dark), and you can also order Budvar if you don't feel like trying the home brew. Good food, good service, reservations are accepted and recommended. The beer is a little pricey, but the experience is worth it.

Getting there: Tram 22 or 23 to Pohorelec

Kolkovna [1][2][3][4][5]
[Kolkovna]

Czech cuisine

A Pilsner Urquell original restaurant housed in former postal-stamp producing premises in Prague's Jewish Quarter. Two levels - street level and downstairs. Serves soups, pub grub, pasta, traditional Czech dishes, and great beer. Try the dark Velkopopovický Kozel!

Getting there: Metro A to Staromestská

Na staré kovárne v Bráníku [1][2][3][4][5]
[Na staré kovárne v Bráníku]
  • Kamenická 17, Prague 7
  • Zone: Prague 7
  • http:://www.kovarna.trisestry.cz
  • Note: The full menu is only available after 2:30 p.m., so the following does not apply to lunch time when a very limited and far less interesting menu is in effect

Czech cuisine

A cross between a traditional, smoky, table-sharing Czech pub and a fun restaurant serving food that's far from typical Czech pub grub. As a matter of fact, the excellent cooking will make you forget all about the cigarette smoke that fills the air, and is well worth the trip to Prague 7. As you flip through the large menu at a table lit by the headlight of a motorcycle hanging over your head, you'll have a hard time choosing from meals of all kinds that are distinguished from one another by names such as "Xena - Is She a Woman?" or "Alcoholic's Treat". The special "Mexican block" offers enchiladas, quesadillas, fajitas... Although not quite the real thing, the chicken fajitas will make you want to come back for more (the flour tortillas ARE the real thing). The place can get crowded but takes reservations. Quick, down-to-earth service, Gambrinus and Pilsner Urquell served

Novomestský pivovar (The New Town Brewery) [1][2][3][4][5]

Great food and light & dark beer, good service. Breakfast served from 8 a.m., live accordion music every night. The place can be busy and getting there at an off hour will enable you to find a few seats in any of the interesting rooms. Note: The m
enu on the upstairs Terrace (Terasa) is limited.

Picante Fresh-Mex [1][2][3][4][5]
[Picante Fresh-Mex]
  • Revolucní 4, Prague 1 & Letnany Shopping Centre Food Court, Prague 9
  • Zone: Prague 9
  • www.picante.cz
  • Revolucní location - open 24 hours; Letnany location - mall hours

It took us a long time to venture into this Mexican fast food/takeout off of Námestí Republiky, simply because we didn't expect much from it. One day, we decided to finally try it out and we were very pleasantly surprised! The place was started by two San Francisco Bay Area friends and we think of it as a small version of the Baja Fresh chain. The food is tasty, the staff is friendly and professional, there's a small salsa bar, and you can buy a bottomless fountain drink. The whole place is non-smoking, spotlessly clean and open 24 hours, so you're free to get hungry at any time of day or night, such as after a late movie at the Slovanský dum

Pivovarský dum [1][2][3][4][5]
[Pivovarský dum]

Czech cuisine

A popular Czech brew pub opened in 1998, frequented by locals on their lunch break and tourists on their quest for good Czech cooking. If you feel adventurous, you can order beer of unique flavors from coffee to sour cherry. Also serving specialty champagne beer and good unfiltered wheat beer in addition to the staple light and dark Czech lager. Good service, nice decor.

Tram 4, 6, 10, 16, 22, or 23 to Štepánská or Metro C to I. P. Pavlova or B to Karlovo námestí

Pizzeria Padova [1][2][3][4][5]
[Pizzeria Padova]

Italian cuisine

Good pizza

Pizzeria Padova is not in a central location, but tram 4, 22 or 23 will drop you off right in front of their door at Ruská (12 minutes from Národní trída). We find the thin-crusted, topping-rich Capricciosa and Americana very satisfying (note: we substitute mozzarella for the Czech cheese). Good service, pleasant ambience, a superb outdoor area... and great beer

Moskevská location - tram 4, 22, or 23 to Ruská; Mozartova location - metro B to Andel

Pizzeria Rugantino [1][2][3][4][5]
[Pizzeria Rugantino]

Italian cuisine

Pizzeria Rugantino seems to have been around for ages (since 1994, to be exact) and has done great. The pizza's always tasty, the service always pleasant. Thanks to its central location near Old Town Square, the restaurant is popular with locals, tourists, and business people who drop by at lunch time. There's a nice size non-smoking area in the front, almost fully divided from the larger smoking area in the back. If you don't feel like pizza, you can choose from many large salads and some fresh pasta dishes

Metro: A to Staromestská

Trattoria Cicala [1][2][3][4][5]
[Trattoria Cicala]

The Italian experience

Looking inconspicuous from the busy Žitná Street, the Italian-run Trattoria Cicala offers great food, good wine, pleasant service and atmosphere. There's a chance that you'll be greeted by the personable owner himself, so brush up your Italian! You may also run into a Hollywood celebrity here as a bonus.

Metro: C to I. P. Pavlova or walk from the top of Wenceslas Square
