Czech food: what to eat in Prague, from breakfast to dinner
Hello, friends! What do Czechs eat for breakfast, what arrives on the lunch plate, and where should you save room for dessert? Let's explore a few local flavours and three places to consider. Just don't read this hungry.
🌞 Breakfast: bread, cheese and rohlík
A Czech breakfast is often simple: bread with butter, jam or cheese. You can also try a rohlík, a small bread roll served with your favourite toppings.
🍽 Lunch: goulash, dumplings and svíčková
Lunch is traditionally a substantial meal: meat with potatoes or knedlíky (dumplings), often accompanied by vegetables. Try goulash with dumplings to soak up the sauce, or svíčková: beef in a creamy vegetable sauce, served with dumplings.
🌙 Dinner: something light or a generous meal
Dinner can be something simple, such as sandwiches, salad or a warming bowl of soup. Other evenings call for a more generous meal, perhaps a schnitzel.
Where can you try these flavours?
Lokál
If you are looking for Czech food and a lively atmosphere, Lokál is a personal favourite. Try their schnitzel and local beer.
Česká Kuchyně
Looking for straightforward, homestyle Czech meals? Česká Kuchyně has a canteen-style approach, with a selection of traditional dishes, including sweet dumplings. Its quick service can be convenient for families; check the current menu and prices before visiting.
Cukrárna Myšák
For something sweet, visit Cukrárna Myšák, a well-known café and patisserie. Enjoy cakes and pastries in surroundings with an old-fashioned charm.
Whether you are in Czechia for a short visit or a longer stay, there are plenty of local flavours to explore. Enjoy your meal! 🍻
I hope you enjoy your culinary adventures in Czechia!
