The questions over the long-lasting impact of the coronavirus on daily life and the global economy have taken center stage in recent weeks, but for small business owners — the grim reality of this lockdown is already here. Coronavirus has brought the booming service industry in Prague to a grinding halt, with restaurants and bars forced to close. As a result, businesses have had to try and adapt in order to make sure there are doors left to reopen when the restrictions finally lift. Many restaurants are now offering takeout as well as delivery menus on services like DameJidlo or Wolt. Bars owners are facing a slightly different challenge — how do we adapt when our main value is directly tied to our communities and environment? “People pay more for beers in bars than they do in shops, but it’s for the entire experience,” says Bar No. 7 owner Tommy Poole. “You go out to a bar to meet people, make new friends, and have a good time. It’s harder to convince people to buy a drink from me when there’s no social interaction.” Bar No.7 is a cozy, well-known bar in Prague that has been in operation for nearly...
Uber Eats has announced a range of initiatives in the Czech Republic to support restaurant owners and operators facing unprecedented challenges amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The package includes waiving registration fees so that more restaurants can provide delivery and a new programme offering daily payments. In addition, Uber Eats is also introducing support for the couriers. Initiatives to support the community Uber Eats will offer a new pick-up functionality to both restaurants and customers. With this new feature in the app, customers will no longer need to stand in line when ordering take-out meals and the customers’ interactions and waiting time gets reduced, which supports social distancing. In addition to the new pick-up feature, Uber will enable eaters to select “contactless delivery” within the app, pushing this to self-isolating individuals in particular, for couriers to drop the meals outside their door, to avoid personal contact “We are putting in place a range of initiatives to continue to support restaurant partners, particularly small business owners, as they keep their kitchens firing to feed people across the country. This initiative keeps their doors open longer and keeps their teams working throughout this very difficult time,” said Luisa Elster, spokesperson for Uber Eats....

The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has halted the city’s restaurant industry. With sit-down dining no longer an option, many places have turned their focus to offering delivery and curbside pickup. Some are throwing in extra discounts and incentives for ordering while others are featuring special family-style meals. In this time of crisis and uncertainty, we all look forward to treating ourselves with comfort food and fatty pleasures. Ristorantino da Matteo in Letna has developed a guilt-free food delivery that will brighten your spirit. At this well-known Roman restaurant, you can really breathe a real Italian atmosphere. Matteo Brogi, owner and chef, creates a tasty menu that is different every day. Portions are small so you can sample 6 courses: 5 meat or fish courses plus one dessert. The price is tasty too… 490 CZK including packaging and delivery to your door. “We decided to do something different from the others, offering to our customers a more creative lunch by creating these “lunch menu boxes”. There are six small portions of Italian food, including dessert,” said the restaurant owner and chef Matteo Brogi. The menu is published on the restaurant Facebook page and personal profile Matteo Brogi on Instagram. How does it work?...
Manifesto Market launched takeaway and bundled delivery from Manifesto Florenc, in collaboration with Uber Eats as the exclusive delivery provider. In the situation of the health crisis, Manifesto is seizing this momentum to launch a completely new and innovative delivery system on the market, a bundled delivery. This is opening the unique possibility for the customers to combine offers from several chefs and restaurants (brands operating at Manifesto Florenc) into one order, one click, one delivery. “Since all restaurants closed their doors to the public, we’ve worked days and nights to build our own platform, which is ready, but ultimately decided to launch this with Uber Eats who has been incredibly fast, helpful and open-minded. Our community can now have the same food experience online as they would have at Manifesto – to experience Manifesto food options during the lockdown period, but also an essential way to keep our restaurants alive and keep as many jobs as possible,” Manifesto’s Founder Martin Barry explains. How it works The users will find all the food selection under “Manifesto Delivery” label. At the beginning, menus from as many as eight restaurants will be offered under one umbrella. The delivery fee will be 49 CZK...

Coronavirus is the main topic of conversation at the moment, many think the decisions made by the Czech government are great whilst others may feel they go too far. Either way, we as citizens, have to accept the new rules and adjust to them. Over the last few days our news feeds have been a little crazy with constant updates on new restrictions and regulations but this morning it was a big surprise to read that all restaurants and pubs must close from 6 am today for at least 10 days. Food lovers need not panic, we have some good news! This morning Prague Morning contacted several restaurants to find out how they are dealing with the new restrictions, obviously, they are far from happy about the situation but many have been preparing for this type of measure being introduced.

We are happy to let people know, that TGI Fridays will continue to deliver food to our clients via online ordering, the same goes for Planet Sushi and our latest partner, Asian Bistro.

If you like to eat and cook, you are sure to try foreign recipes from time to time. Maybe you stay in Europe and try to prepare classic Italian cuisine, honest Hungarian goulash, English roast beef or a luxurious French sauce. But sometimes, you may like to get out of your comfort zone and try Thai or Indian curry, Vietnamese rolls, Japanese sushi or Mexican tacos. If you are attempting to experiment with these cuisines, or perhaps already preparing them regularly, you have certainly encountered one problem: recipes can be found on the Internet and in piles of cookbooks, but even the best recipe won’t help if you don’t have the authentic ingredients. Fortunately, the time when Japanese soy sauce was replaced by a false one from Czech producers is long gone, and you don’t have to replace lemongrass in Thai noodles with parsley. Fortunately, Prague is no longer the culinary wasteland of the 1990s, and we dare say that today you can find top ingredients for virtually all the world’s major cuisines. But you need to know where to look. To make it easier for you, we have a small guide on buying foreign products. If you have other favorite...
Multifood, a fast-food chain known for its pay-by-weight buffet style, has recently opened its largest location in Prague at Centrum Černý Most.
Momoichi Bistro is a Japanese cafeteria based in the city center of Prague, Rimska 35 (Namesti Miru). There you can find a tranquil location for work and leisure. On weekdays, the restaurant opens at half-past eleven and does not close until 10 pm. On weekends, the restaurant invites its visitors to an early breakfast, so you can bring all your family.

Visitors will find sketches on the walls from the anime “Spirited Away” and the figures of the well-known “Totoro.” At the checkout, you can buy Totoro plush toys, accessories with the image of your favorite hero, and branded trinkets and souvenirs.
