Wouldn’t it be wonderful to know that the food we consume is not only delicious, but also healthy for you and the environment? This food philosophy is at the heart of A Posto Trattoria, a true farm-to-table restaurant in Prague 8 that serves up authentic Italian and Sardinian meals. A Posto Trattoria collaborates with local farmers to implement the most sustainable and regenerative farming practices while focusing on using healthy ingredients in their food. Located in a peaceful part of Nové Chabry, we traveled to A Posto Trattoria on a nice Sunday afternoon and spoke with its owner and main chef, Mr. Gianfranco Coizza. A native Sardinian, Mr. Coizza shared with us many interesting stories and information on the idea of sustainability, as well as told us more about the forthcoming opening of an authentic Italian pastry shop in the area of Prague 8. Q: Your menu has literally everything we need to eat well. It’s just perfect. A: “A Posto” in Italian means that everything should be just as it is. Q: Do you also have culurgiònes (Sardinian stuffed pasta)? It seems that It’s not always the part of the a-la-carte menu. A: No, we are changing the menu depending on...

What if I told you that the question of where to find the best burgers in Prague has finally been answered? If you haven’t guessed yet, the place is John Polpo, a cozy and comfortable new bistro in Žižkov. Here, you can have coffee, play board games, work, drink some craft beer, eat desserts, celebrate a birthday, and most importantly, eat delicious burgers. Arthur, the owner of John Polpo, along with his wife Olga, have long dreamed of opening a business of their own. The first space they found was on Seifertova street. It was there that they decided to develop the concept of a craft burger bistro with high-quality ingredients. At their new location, much larger than the original space, they offer plenty of room for takeaway orders as well a dining space. When I visited for myself, we got the menu very quickly and the service was on point. The order itself took about 10 minutes, which is an excellent time period. There are five burgers on the menu ranging from the John Bacon burger to the burger with gorgonzola, pear, and beef. My personal preference is the “Full House XXL Meat”. The burger itself is large (you...
Not everyone has the same tastes; there are those who prefer the color blue to red, salty food to sweet or stay on the couch instead of going for a run first thing in the morning. But can there be anyone who doesn’t like a good poké bowl? I don’t think so. Prepared to order using fresh-daily ingredients, the “poké” dish is primarily composed of the same elements used to make sushi (rice, raw fish, seaweed, and more) meaning, the dish is nutritious and delicious. The best of them all? Prague’s PokeHaus and their brand new location. The flagship location at Národní třída is situated around the corner from Quadrio Shopping Center, which is best known for one of Prague’s most visited attractions: Franz Kafka’s head as sculpted by David Černý. PokeHaus, in keeping with the spirit of Quadrio’s design heritage, has crafted a space that is an artistic statement of its own. Authentic & remindful of its Hawaiian-Japanese culinary roots, the location will greet you with visions of a tropical escape. When you enter through the door of PokeHaus you can highlight several things: its large glass window, which generates a cozy atmosphere of freedom, its large stone bar...
Switching to quality gastronomy combined with greening measures in restaurants will be key factors in reviving the Czech hospitality industry in the post-pandemic era, as tourists have now become more demanding in several aspects. “It’s no longer mainly the sights or attractions, but it’s the holistic experience that tourists consider when deciding where to go. And gastronomy is fundamental in their decision making,” said Luboš Kastner, a co-owner of restaurants in the Pilsen region. Kastner explained that as a result, tourists tend to favour those areas and sights where they can also find quality dining options. “They [tourists] prefer to go to a less attractive tourist destination if they know that they will have a great meal there and get to know any local artisanal specifics related to food and drink,” noting that the current trend for restaurants is the “professionalisation” of gastronomy. “The guest has become more demanding and more interested in gastro during COVID-19 pandemic, perhaps even more educated about it,” he said. Analysts suggest that equally important is tourists’ environmental considerations and what restaurants particularly do about that. As restaurateurs do not have enough budget to implement environmentally-friendly measures, they hope for investments coming from the EU-funded...
Fast food isn’t as affordable as it used to be, and value menus are another victim of inflation and pandemic. The price of a cheeseburger at McDonald’s rose to CZK 39, an increase of about 11%. According to the company, the reason is the increase in the cost of production. “Since the price of raw materials has been rising for a long time, and McDonald’s wants to maintain the standard high quality of products and services, we have had to shift higher costs to the price of cheeseburgers,” said Jitka Paürkova, communications specialist and director of public relations at McDonald’s ČR. The cheeseburger rose in price at the beginning of April, before it was sold for 35 CZK. McDonald’s only specifies recommended prices, so prices for cheeseburgers may differ slightly from place to place. McDonald’s opened its first fast food in the Czech Republic in 1992. At that time, the cheeseburger was sold for 21 CZK. In 2013, the price raised to 25 CZK, four years later to 29 CZK and in 2020, to 33 CZK. In 1993, a Big Mac cost CZK 50, while the average salary was less than 6,000 crowns. But even the high cost did not...
The Dock, a pop-up concept by Hilton Prague Old Town in the immediate vicinity of Namesti Republiky, is starting a new after work or pre-dinner experience, based on fresh fish. The 2 sizes of seafood platters are prepared by the highly professional team of cooks under Executive Chef Valerio Bussandri. “The idea behind The Dock concept is to have an informal treat for after work or pre-dinner gathering, and something easy for our guests,” said Valerio Bussandri, Executive Chef, Hilton Prague Old Town. “What we want to offer amongst usually well know fish, seafood and shellfish is a catch of the week that can quite enlarge the selection and give the opportunity to our guests to enjoy different flavors and textures. Our suppliers will inform us every week about what has been fished and we will choose what would be the best option to suit The Dock,” he adds. Most of the fish at The Dock comes from the Mediterranean Sea, while the seafood and shellfish are imported from Scotland. For the very first opening, the restaurant will receive some interesting Meagre fish and snapper. The offer consists of a seafood platter to share, accompanied by a glass of Prosecco,...

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...
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...
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,...
