Prague cuisine has changed significantly in the past few years. Restaurants now scatter all throughout the city, offering gastronomic delights. Prague is indeed one worldly city. Food connoisseurs will have a wide choice but travelers who are always in a rush and just want to have a quick nibble can choose numerous restaurants and eateries that offer a variety of options.

Traditionally, the civic Czech food is rustic, shaped by sauce, meat and some vegetables. The meat is either baked, boiled, or fried. Venison is one of the specialties. Locals usually serve it with dumplings made of potatoes or bread. Vegetables as side dishes are not very common in the city. The menu sometimes includes fish, mainly carp or trout.

You might be slightly disappointed if you love fish as it is not very common in the city. If you really want to sample some local fish meals, we suggest you visit the areas around Prague. The rivers and lakes in the area have a variety of freshwater fish that locals serve fresh, such as the Pstruh Smažený or crumbed trout.

In spite of the many choices of different restaurants, Prague people prefer roast pork and the Knödel or dumplings. Locals make various versions of dumplings. Some are made from bread or potatoes, while some dumplings are made with bacon, and others with fruits such as cherries, plums, or cherries.

Czech starters often consist of a soup – a goulash soup or a garlic soup, for example. Many fine dining restaurants serve the soup with bread and cheese put as a soup topping. Other starters are served either warm or cold, such as cod liver, cheese, or ham rolls.

A rich desert will cap off your sumptuous dinner. Palaccinka is one of the most delicious Czech cuisine. It is a pancake served with many different sauces. Another famous desert is the sweet dumpling filled with marmalade or fruits.

Prague is home to people who love beer. Pilsener or Pils beer is the best drink to wash down your food. It is a strong kind of beer which was first brewed in Pilsen, a Czech city. Another famous beer brewed in the country is the Budvar or Budweiser.

A friendly reminder: Some of Prague restaurants can get very busy, so you need to book well in advance. Also, you might want to reconsider booking a table inside the restaurant itself since a table in the restaurant garden is more expensive.

Overall, Prague foods are cooked and prepared with much creativity. In Prague, there are no limits to your imagination. This will make your gastronomic experience in the city a truly memorable one.
