Czech Lunch Prices Rose by a Fifth in the Last Year

Lunches in the Czech Republic have risen in price by a fifth in a year. Over the past year, the cost of lunch in a restaurant has increased by CZK 29, or 19 percent. While in December 2021 the average lunch cost CZK 151.20, in December 2022 it rose to CZK 180.40. This is based on payments made with Gastro Pass Cards from Sodexo Benefity, a provider of corporate benefits in the Czech Republic. The most expensive lunch bill in the last month of last year was registered in Prague, at CZK 203.5. On the other hand, the cheapest lunches were in Vysočina and Ústí nad Labem, where the price exceeded CZK 161. You can eat for less than the Czech average of CZK 180.40 in only six regions. Which ones are they besides Vysočina and Ústí nad Labem? Find out more in our map. The main reason for the increasing prices is naturally the rising prices of raw materials, rents, energy, but also the wages accompanied by a shortage of labour in the catering industry. “While since the beginning of last year prices have increased by a maximum of two crowns month-on-month, in September there was a jump of...

10 Worst Rated Czech Foods & Beverages

Dršťková Dršťková is a traditional Czech tripe soup consisting of beef tripe braised in generous amounts of onions and sweet paprika. Although it has numerous regional varieties, this hearty soup typically has a thick consistency, a light red color, and a slightly spicy flavor. Occasionally, pieces of smoked meat or sausages are incorporated into the soup. Tripe soup is often served in traditional pubs and usually comes accompanied with slices of crispy buttered bread. In Slovakia, it appears in a similar form and is better known as držková polievka. Křížaly This popular Czech snack is prepared with pitted and sliced apples that are slowly air-dried or dehydrated in the oven. Depending on the size and cut, their texture varies from thin and crispy to thick and chewy. Although they are most commonly enjoyed as a quick and healthy snack, křížaly can be used as a nutritious addition to porridges and various desserts, or as festive Christmas decorations. Tuzemák This traditional Czech drink was invented in the 19th century as a substitute for the original Caribbean rum. It is usually distilled from potatoes or sugar beets to create a base that is then enriched with rum essence. The drink was initially...

From Mongolia to Prague: UB Restaurant Delivers Authentic Flavors

Fancy some buuz, khuushuur, or tsuivan? Head to Letná to have a taste of these authentic Mongolian delights. These dishes are served by a man with an equally tongue-twisting name – Dashnyam Boldsaikhan who has fulfilled his lifelong professional dream, and thanks to him, you can taste Mongolian dishes in Prague. But first of all, let’s explain what are these dishes. Buuz is a type of steamed dumpling filled with hand-chopped meat; khuushuur is a classic guilty pleasure, something like a Mongolian langos, dough fried, filled with meat, and typically eaten warm with your hands, while tsuivan is a dish of homemade noodles. Those looking for outright gastro-exoticism should try banshtai tsai, traditional salty Mongolian tea with ghee and meat dumplings. “I’m very satisfied. When you cook a meal, bring it to the table, and people enjoy it, that’s the best feeling,” says Boldsaikhan, also known as Boogi, the owner and head chef of UB Restaurant. The abbreviation UB stands for the Mongolian capital Ulaanbaatar. Simplicity is key – even the dishes from the vast land of Genghis Khan’s descendants are actually simple. Food is a reflection of the national soul, and the former nomads logically didn’t have much time...

The owners Nishant and Alana are both foodies and come from culinary scenes. Nishant worked in hospitality in India and Alana comes from a family with an 85-year background in the restaurant industry.

Bab Rýže Guides You Through Authentic Korean Cuisine

Korean cuisine is not well known in the Czech Republic, but it deserves to be explored. With three locations around Prague, Bab Ryze offers a great cross-section of Korean dishes that are worth trying. Bab Ryze Restaurant is totally authentic, staffed by Koreans who clearly have a positive relationship with food. Everything I tried was very tasty, and without compromising Czech flavors. I placed my order through Dáme jídlo and the courier arrived as planned. The food was packaged well, nothing leaked, and the trick with the portions wrapped in foil ensured that the dishes were really hot. But let’s get back to Korean gastronomy itself. You’ll find influences from other Asian countries, so there’s no shortage of fried dumplings for example on the appetizer menu. The Gun-mandu dumplings stuffed with mushrooms and leeks were pleasantly crispy, very well seasoned, and accompanied by a dipping sauce (6 pieces for 119 CZK). I wanted to taste as many dishes as possible, so I ordered 3 dishes from the main menu. In Korea, rice bowls topped with various vegetables, meat, and egg yolk are very popular. I opted for a slightly unconventional version without meat. Kimchi Al-bab (189 CZK) is a rice...
