Chlebičky is a Czech staple, that comes as a traditional form of Bruschetta. Otherwise known as open-faced sandwiches, these delicacies are served in Sisters as a speciality. Fresh crispy bread is generously slathered with sauces and topped with meat and seasonings. You will have to try this and decide for yourself.

6. Cafe Louvre:

The changes that happened along the course of Prague’s journeys are reflected in the setup of this restaurant. Cafe Louvre is a hundred years old, with changing styles all imprinted on the ambience. There are separate menus for Czech food. This cafe is said to have been frequented by Franz Kafka and Albert Einstein, so who are you to argue with 20th centuries finest men? Get yourselves there already! There are some items on this menu that have been there for decades but don’t let that put you off, that’s the secret behind their success. Gnocci, walnut ice cream, lemonades and cakes are a must-try. Dine at Cafe Louvre if you like pastel coloured turn of the century interiors and the best of Eastern European food.

7. La Degustation Boheme Bourgeoise:

This is a Michelin starred, vogue member of the top 10 restaurants in Prague; and a seductively stylish one at that. Situated on the end of an old lane, it stands out heavily by its looks. With recipes taken from traditional Czech dishes, the chefs here blend them effectively with modern foods. The wines are exceptionally fine too. Look for the pickled shallots, braised pork, crusted beef and the various sauces.

8. La Boheme Cafe:

This is the best cafe for coffee in town! With quite a range of yummy cakes, teas and simple but cracking European cafe food, Boheme Cafe rocks the cafe scene in Prague. There are countless travellers who step in just for the name and come out deeply impressed. The owner is a coffee freak and his love for the magic beans is evident throughout. Chic interiors are brimming with panelled displays filled with coffee beans from all over the world; different brands and different kinds of coffees are set up for sale. Boho chandeliers, cute potted bougainvillaeas, boldly printed walls and trendy furniture largely adorn the cafe. Definitely try their Chilly Rum Hot Chocolate.

9. Grand Evropa Hotel Cafe:

Sounds a bit like ‘The Grand Budapest Hotel’ doesn’t it? If it would have been in Budapest, people like me would have gone gaga over it, but this restaurant is hyped about, for pure reasons only- food. Much like Prague itself, it was built in the 19th century following Art Noveau styles. There is also another reason movie buffs would make a run for this cafe. The bar and cafe shown in ‘The Titanic’ were shot here. Everything about this cafe yells ‘Antique and amazing’. The food here is great, so is the bar, where the actual party lies(I’m talking about the 1800’s decor). Everything is moderately priced for such a beautiful place. You should go here solely for the hot chocolate, if not for anything.
