The six- or 11 - class prix fixe fare can be paired with local Czech and extraneous wines ( or juice , if you ’re not a wine mortal ) , and while the modern Department of the Interior ( overtop by the " consomme " chandelier ) may scream mellow class , the atmosphere is surprisingly effortless .

< em > KarlínLocated in a former factory in the hip Karlin district , this raw addition to Prague ’s dining scene take classic ingredient of traditional Czech culinary art and put a modernistic twisting on them . The lunches and dinners are fantastic , but where Eska truly shines is its weekend brunch : start sound with the granola , dehydrated reddish beets , and yogurt , continue with poach bollock and fermented wheat Berry , and land up sinfully with some Czech pancakes . Bonus point for the specialty coffee berry served on site by apron - clad baristas .

As fast foods go , this one is the least guilty : it ’s not deep - fried or clams - coated , and uses fresh , quality ingredients . While it might not be your first selection , the authoritative potato salad - and - jambon version is still the one to have .

< em > Nové MěstoRecommending a non - vegetarian restaurant for vegetarians may sound strange , but in a country where vegetarian cuisine is generally represented by deep-fried cheese , this is what you get . The Asian - fusion dishes serve family - style at communal tables in this pelvic arch , nonchalant bit will meet both carnivores and vegetarians – come for the a la carte lunches , and stay for the prix fixe dinners . We urge the Cucurbita pepo sambal for vegetarians , and the porc abdomen for carnivore .

< em > KarlínForget Texas - panache kolache and jalapeño sausage : the original , angelical - only kolache comes from the Czech Republic , and Prague ’s dependable are served by only secure in the Karlin district . The bake is nearly as beneficial as our granny ’s , so your only question is the woof : plum jam , James Leonard Farmer ’s cheese , or poppy ? The interior of this spot is somewhat uninspiring , so we recommend take hold of a few to go , pairing them up with hipster coffee at Kafe Karlin two stoppage out and enjoy them on the work bench of the Karlin square park .
