Places to eat and drink

Decent places to eat:

- Kolkovna, V Kolkovne (good Czech and world cuisine run by Pilsner Urquell group, decent service)

- Dinitz, Bilkova 12 (Jewish quarter - cool minimalist interior, excellent service, affordable; try any of the wonderful sandwiches, fresh pasta dishes & the cheesecake, out of this world!). My favourite place...

- Any of the Potrefena Husa restaurants dotted around the city offer reliable food at affordable prices, e.g. at Resslova, Andel...

- Credo, Petrska 11

- Les Moules, mussels, which are supplied fresh every morning and cooked according to original recipes

- Na Verandach, Nadrazni 84 (metro to Andel). 10 beers on draught (incl. Leffe Blond & Kriek for under 50 Kc...), reasonable Czech food at affordable prices, usually full of locals (reservations needed in evening, but lunchtime not necessary)

Some nice cafés/bars:

- Cafe Savoy, Zborovska (turn-of-century building recently renovated to past glory; good service, good breakfasts/lunch, excellent place for coffee & cake)

- Blatouch (almost next door to Kolkovna; laid-back, bookcases, friendly, mostly locals)

- V Sedmi Nebi, Zborovska 68 (upstairs is nice & chilled with sofas, friendly, good inexpensive cocktails, arty locals)

- Lokal, Gorazdova (near Karlovo Namesti; nice cafe with sofas, friendly staff, Hoegaarden on draught for peanuts, cocktails etc.)

- St Nicholas Cafe, Trziste 10 (Mala Strana). Stylish cellar cafe

- Meduza, Belgicka 17. Also lots of nice non-touristy bars & restos in this area (Vinohrady; metro to Namesti Miru)

- Hapu, Orlicka 8 (near Flora metro in Zizkov; small lounge bar with sofas, excellent cocktails)

- La Casa Blu, Kozi 15 (lively Mexican bar frequented by a nice mix of locals and expats; can get a bit too busy & smokey...)

- Back Door, Na Belidle 30 (small funky music bar/resto with good house DJs playing not too loud music, pretty good food too for little money, locals)

- Roxy, Dlouha 33 - laid-back club with cafe; - Radost FX, Belehradska 120 near IP Pavlova (club downstairs with cafe upstairs; lots of expats)
