13 Places in Prague for Meat and Fresh Fish

Buying quality meat or fresh fish is sometimes a bit of a hassle. Fortunately, tons of quality butchers and fishermen have recently opened, and even the classic meat shops are still in service.

Below is a list of where to purchase your meats.

Naše Maso

One of the most famous butcher shop in Prague. All meat comes from Czech farms. Beef is from the breed of honor and pork from the Prestice pigs. In Our Meat, they personally supervise the slaughter of animals. They cut the meat and let it mature. Whole quarters are left hanging for 7 to 14 days at low temperature(s) to give the meat the best possible taste.

• Purchase: beef, pork, poultry, lamb, veal
• Address: Dlouhá 39, Prague 1 or shop online

OUR TIP: Aged Wagyu – Wagyu meat comes originally from Kobe, Japan. It has a very intense taste, distinctive marbling, and is the most expensive beef in the world. In Our Meat, you will get a so-called Kobe-style, which is not pure Wagyu, but a combination of 75% Wagyu breed and 25% Angus. The meat is 60 days old and comes from the Krontorád family farm in Sloupnice. Quite expensive but one must have a taste once!

Břevnovské řeznictví

Much has been written about the end of Mr. Kšána’s legendary butcher shop in Břevnov, and this has caused great sadness to most meat lovers. Fortunately, a couple of clever heads came together and decided to continue the long-standing tradition of the local butcher shop, which has been operating there since the 1950s (formally ran by the Hen family). The original staff agreed and under the leadership of Mr. Makara the new butchers embarked on a difficult job. However, it seems that their efforts paid off and you can get really good meat from Czech farms.
