Walking around Prague cannot be imagined without acquaintance with delicious Czech cuisine. And what a pleasure it is, getting hungry, to look into one of the local restaurants and refresh yourself with aromatic goulash, dumplings and beer!
In this review, we will tell you about where to eat tasty and inexpensively in Prague, how much lunch will cost for a budget tourist, and where to go for a quick snack.
Cafe Creperie Pod Vezi
The prices, which are quite adequate for the center of Prague, whet the appetite even more – you can eat in a cafe for 280-340 Kč (if you limit yourself to two pancakes). Soups cost 65Kč, desserts – 99Kč.

Bistro sisters
But even if we ignore the national specifics, in a cafe you can really have a quick meal or take food with you to take away in a container. For breakfast “Sisters” prepare large and inexpensive Loupák sandwiches with ham, lettuce, pickled cucumbers (79 Kč) and brew fresh coffee.

Jidelna Světozor
The only inconveniences associated with the cafe are not the most convenient working hours (on weekdays from 11 to 15 hours) and the need to stand in line to place an order. Therefore, if you decide to come here to eat and want to catch the most delicious dishes from the menu, be sure to come early.

Havelska Koruna
At the entrance, each guest is given a “ticket” – a piece of paper that marks the chosen food. Leaving the cafe, it must be given for payment at the checkout, even if it remains empty. A large fine is issued for the loss of a ticket.
It is almost always crowded here: both Czechs and tourists come to eat, attracted by low prices (the cost of food is in the range of 90-140 Kč), large portions and a convenient location of the dining room. The service takes an average of 5 minutes, and Havelska Koruna claims that they manage to feed from a thousand to two thousand customers per day.
