Prague from breakfast to dinner
If you are looking for some advice on what and where to eat in Prague, you have found the right article. Breakfast, lunch, quick snack and dinner, everything you need to survive 24 hours in Prague.
BREAKFAST: Bakeshop
This charming, atmospheric venue is just a short walk from the Jewish Quarter and Staroměstské náměstí, the main square of the Old Town. Cozy decor, with unusual seating in the window niches, that you can reach just passing under the high tables. There are piles of every bakery product you can imagine: croissants, sweet and savoury pastries, biscuits, quiches, cakes, bread, cheesecakes, bagels... In short, this place will satisfy all tastes.
Tip for lovers of sweets for breakfast: try the coffee and peanut butter biscuits. For savoury lovers, don't miss the savoury brioche with feta and spinach. We did not dare at breakfast, given the colossal size of the savoury cakes, but for lunch we recommend you try them because they looked really inviting.
LUNCH: Street Food
Street food in Prague is a real treat. After discovering that the pale, cold-sliced freezer product that for us is Prague ham, in its place of origin is a whole leg of pork spinning on hot coals, smoking and releasing a sinful scent, my life has changed! Have a generous slice (don't forget to ask for a piece of crispy crust) and eat it hot with a slice of black bread. I will say no more!
Sausages of every shape, color, spiciness, roasting on large braziers in street stalls and markets, maybe sliced in a giant pot together with potatoes and onions. Steaming potato dumplings everywhere (and really delicious) accompanied by sauerkraut, sausages, vegetables, onion. Did I make you want street food?
SPUNTINO: A Trdelnik please
Don't ask me how to pronounce it, because all I did to ask for one was point my finger at one of those huge sugary rolls roasting on the embers. The Trdelnik is the typical Bohemian walk-dessert, made with a thin dough wrapped helically around a pipe that is placed on a rotating mechanism on the burning fire. It is served sprinkled with sugar, in the classic version.
In Prague you can really find it everywhere. Even shops selling souvenirs, disposable cameras and postcards are ready to bake one. Of course, try to avoid the tourist traps, where it is served with cream and chocolate candy, with ice cream, frozen yoghurt, fruit or any other weird thing you can think of. Trdelnik is eaten pure, at most with a hazelnut cream veil inside. The best place to eat it are street food kiosks and Christmas markets.
DINNER: Mlejnice goulash
We were looking for a tasty goulash, and we definitely found it. This restaurant with an unpronounceable name, is located a few alleys beyond the main square, but hidden from the flow of tourists. However, this doesn't stop a large crowd from invading this charming, rustic and traditional-looking place.
Book for dinner, so you can enjoy an excellent goulash served in a bowl of fragrant and delicious black bread (too bad, given the size of the loaf of bread, you won't be able to finish it all). Another recommended dish, of course, is potatoes. There is a reserved part of the menu for them, and they are served in tasty variations, such as the country-style one we tasted ourselves, with cream, onion and Prague ham.
