Restaurants and Cafes
In Prague you can find international restaurants from the finest Italian and French cuisine to Japanese, Korean, Thai, Greek, Scandinavian and Mexican. Food is still affordable despite price increases in recent years. Original Czech food comprises roast or grilled meat and dumplings, which not all tourists necessarily find tasty, but when it's done well traditional Czech cuisine is worth a try.
Prague is safe concerning cleanliness and hygiene. Quoting the main hygiene officer of the republic, Mr Michael Vít, the representatives of the CzechTourism agency explained that the catering facilities are inspected by a state authority once in two years, whereas in most other EU countries the inspections are done only randomly by some professional associations.
The restaurants we list are recommended for their cuisine, ambience and popularity among travellers. If you want to eat at a particularly ‘famous' establishment it would be better to make a reservation, particularly at peak periods such as weekends and during the high season.

Czech menus can be problematic. Even if you have a reasonable knowledge of culinary terms in Czech, you'll almost definitely require the assistance of the waiter. If you ask a Czech to name the most typical Czech dish, the chances are he or she will answer "Knedlo-vepřo-zelo". This dish is synonymous with traditional Czech cuisine.

Visitors to Prague often miss out on the best of traditional Czech cuisine which is heavily meat-based but also quite diverse. Don't be one of them unless you are vegetarian. A typical national dish is ‘pork, cabbage, dumplings' which must be accompanied with a pint of beer, the most typical Czech beverage.

It is absolutely normal to share a table with strangers, particularly in less expensive restaurants. It will not be considered rude for another party to join you at your table if seats are free. There is no dress code and you can visit even the most luxurious restaurant in casual clothes (although there are a few exceptions).
