Some offer a very original service; others have brought traditional sweet recipes to perfection. Werich Villa by IF at Kampa in Prague A great café and confectionery in the very centre of Prague and yet in a park. This is Werich Villa on the Prague island of Kampa, only a few steps from the Charles Bridge. The café is managed by Iveta Fabešová, a great confectioner, well-known in the Czech social media. And what makes this confectionery famous? They currently serve desserts such as the Golden Egg or Lemon. The treats look exactly how they sound. But you can also try typical Czech desserts, such as the caramel cream puff or brandy-filled “špička.” Expect perfectly shaped desserts and quality ingredients. Cukrář Skála in Prague They call themselves a dessert factory. But do not worry, this is not a place of mass production. Only fresh basic ingredients and the skilful hands of confectioners.

You can have original eclairs, crullers and cream puffs, or “indiánek.” The...

Expats Next Door: Cameron and Ross

Prague’s first Detroit-style pizza makes a welcoming and sought after appearance in the city. Third Coast Pizza– a pop up business specialising in the unique Detroit style pizza makes its way to Prague- leaving their customers with the taste for wanting more! Founded in May 2021, owners Cameron and Ross began their business as a pandemic project during lockdown, which later turned into a business which they are both passionate about today. The spark for Third Coast Pizza came during this time when Ross decided to give it a go with his love for hosting dinner parties, cooking new recipes and getting creative in the kitchen. Using traditional cooking methods and high-quality ingredients, they began to make a unique style of pizza- traditional to Detroit, Michigan in the United States. Detroit-style pizza is a thick, pan-style square-cut pizza with a crunchy, cheesy ring of crust that’s fluffy on the inside and overflows with different ingredients. Like most rectangular pan pizzas served in America, Detroit-style pizza is a variation of the Sicilian pizza. Their creativity is showcased in the flavours that are produced at every pop-up. Some favorites include Tiberian Sun, a chicken pizza in a delicious buffalo sauce, and The...

Your Prague Mug: Kavafaktura

Today coffee lovers have a place to roam- coffee can vary in all kinds with the taste of nuts and roasted bread, with smoky shades and sourness of grapefruit, with hints of chocolate almonds and cherries on cognac. The service is also on top: freshly roasted coffee beans can be bought at any decent coffee house (or ordered online) – a few years ago people could only dream of this. Coffee continues its expansion in the city, and more and more enthusiasts open not only their own coffee houses, but also start roasting their own coffee. The outgoing year was generous with new projects. Kavafaktura has recently opened a point in Modřany where you can always try freshly roasted coffee and have a glass of wine. This is a spacious showroom of coffee beans with seating. The new Kavafaktura branch is located in a modern building in a residential area next to a bus stop (you won’t pass by). The guys acquired a whole army of loyal fans. I was there on a Sunday and only a couple of tables were available. That fact itself deserves a lot of respect. Here you can work on your laptop, enjoy a book...

Breaking Bread: Spojka’s Quest for Connection

The rise of vegetarianism and veganism in Prague has, in a positive way, altered the city’s food scene, yet an imbalance is still present. Restaurants focused mainly on meat dishes are now forced to add – or at least think about the addition – of some sort of vegan or vegetarian fare. While vegan or vegetarian spots, for the most part, rarely serve anything that might appease a carnivore. This suggests a massive disconnect within Prague’s food community. Spojka opened in 2019 and is located in Karlín, aims to bridge that divide and does so successfully. Their central ideology revolves around the notion of the flexitarian. Vegan, vegetarian, and meat dishes are all on offer here with a range of options that would suit any type of eater. Before getting into the drinks, starters and main dishes it’s important to note that Spojka offers breakfast, available Monday to Friday from 8:00 to 11:30 and on Saturdays and Sundays from 9:00 to 16:00. There is also a daily menu that, of course, changes every day. This is offered Monday to Friday from 11:30 to 15:00. The drinks on offer highlight the level of quality found at Spojka. There are several items,...

The Best New Openings in Prague

Are you looking for some new places to eat? Here is a list of newly opened businesses. Aux Merveilleux de Fred Address: Revoluční 8, Prague 1 If you have a weakness for the art of confectionery, head to the newly opened Prague branch of Aux Merveilleux de Fred for a tasting. Everything created here is under the guidance of the recipes of the French confectioner Frederique Vaucamps, who built a confectionery network with branches all over the world. The goodies that have so far been enjoyed by guests in France, the USA, Canada and Japan are now also available to Czech guests. Be careful when you set out here – meringues, cakes, waffles, croissants and brioches in Aux Merveilleux de Fred are highly addictive. The Winery Address: Liborova 13, Prague 6 Bistro The Eatery, which has made it to the Michelin Guide thanks to its refined menu, has a freshly opened partner – a wine company called The Winery.

Two Prague Shops With American and UK Specialties in Prague

If there’s one thing you’ll notice right off the bat when moving to Prague, it’s the total lack of diversity when it comes to food. If you’re originally from the United States, you’ll be used to seeing at least 6 different kinds of breakfast cereals, a gourmet aisle (for less than $4) selection of instantly-microwavable food – pretty much choices and variations on everything imaginable. In Prague, however, things work a bit differently. Especially with the communist regime recently tucked into its past, it’s clear to understand why there is such a lack of globalization when it comes to food. After a year, the lack will not be so apparent and you’ll adjust to what’s available to you. You will no longer need many snackable things that you were once accustomed to or relied on – bagels, Doritos, “American cheese” or just mere ziplock bags of all things. You learn to try new things and to adopt new favorites instead. However, when times get tough and you’re craving some familiar treats, there are a few places in the city that can definitely help you out. You’re not the only one who has been missing out on some go-to food that...

Average Price of Meal in Czech Restaurant Increased to CZK 157, Survey Finds

The average cost of meals in Czech restaurants in January was 157 CZK. This is 2 crowns more than in December and 22 crowns more than year-on-year. The study was carried out by Sodexo. The region with the most expensive meals in restaurants was Prague with an average of 176 CZK, while the most accessible one was found in Karlovy Vary Region (CZK 142). The authors of the study note that lunch menus are the main source of income for most Czech restaurants. Business owners complain that the coronavirus epidemic has changed the habits of residents. Around 60% of Czechs in January bought on–the–go meals. The trend is leading to healthy fast foods being offered not just in local shops, but also by online retailers. Another problem is that many regular customers have stopped going to restaurants at all. Due to higher inflation, they prefer to cook at home. Moreover, alcohol consumption last year was the lowest since 1996, while consumption of rice and legumes was the highest since monitoring began in the country. Beer consumption fell by six liters per person year-on-year, to an average of 140 liters per person. Wine consumption fell by half a liter to nearly...

The New Successful Food Recycling Program for Prague Restaurants

Since autumn 2021, Prague restaurants have been able to use the city’s system of distribution and collection of food waste containers. Unlike bio-waste – the exclusively biodegradable waste of plant origin, food waste also includes residues of food of animal origin (meat, bones, pastries, etc.). It is even possible to dispose of food waste with packaging in the food container. The collected kitchen waste is then processed and used in a biogas plant, producing energy as the primary, and agricultural fertilizer as the secondary product. Consistent separating of food waste could potentially reduce the total volume of municipal waste by up to 20%. Following the pilot project of food waste collection, launched in Prague in December 2019, the capital city came up with the introduction of the kitchen waste collection from school canteens in autumn 2021. Since October 2021, private companies such as restaurants, canteens, bistros, etc. have also been able to join the city’s collection system. The Červený Jelen restaurant has been sorting and collecting food waste since its opening in October 2019. “Food waste collecting is the most expensive of all waste items, but it was still a clear choice for us. We consider food waste sorting to be necessary nowadays,” comments Jiří Bednář, the Červený Jelen (Red Stag) Restaurant...
