Prague - the gourmet's city

No matter whether during airport shuttle or private airport transfers, I get constantly asked about good places to eat at. I am not a type of person that goes out a lot. I usually eat quick snacks at petrol stops on my way from Prague Ruzyne airport or when I have more time I stop by „U Drahusky“ restaurant near the Prague airport Ruzyne. Such a tip would be good for our competitors, but not travellers. Today I found a very nice article in „MF DNES Magazine“ in which various authors focused on prestigious restaurants that offer delicious food and wines. These tips are not for travellers who are looking for cheap, but good meals. Eating in Prague in general is cheap compared to Western countries, but the restaurants I am going to mention below are not the case. Prepare about 1500 – 3000 CZK if you plan a visit. For the cost, you will get the quality. Guaranteed.

The article mentions following places to which I added some contact details:

Allegro restaurant

The above mentioned restaurants are undoubtfully top three places to visit in Prague (food-wise). The article speaks of a few more places that should not miss your attention and are not that expensive. As I said in the beginning I am not outgoing person myself therefor I have to refer to someone's else recommendations. Once I have visited any of what I am trying to recommend I will post my opinions. The average dinner cost should not exceed much more than CZK 1500 for two persons.

As this should be mainly Prague airport transfer blog, I will only mention links to other restaurants websites. I also added couple of those that our clients, who used our Prague taxi service to take them to restaurants, found impressive or at least worth a visit.

Flambée, Zlata Praha (Golden Prague) at the intercontinental hotel, Kampa Park, Kampa fish, Hergetova Cihelna, Hanavsky pavilon

Dobrou chut! (Enjoy your meal!)
