    OMG! What a great place. We were looking for a Polish restaurant and this place showed up. Never tried Czech food but sure glad we tried this place. Appetizers were the potato pancakes and fried cheese/ French fries. Dinner was pork steak, roast beef, duck, and salmon and each entree was great. We had some Czech beer and shots to wash it all down. So full and so satisfied. Our waitress was very nice. It's a bit far from home but we need to find our way back.

    Food was really good, prices were more than reasonable. Service was quick and the atmosphere was very quiet around lunch. I liked it, very laid back vibe to it and the insides nice.

    Very tasty, service at the highest level. Our waiter Tatyana made sure that we liked everything. Very good submission. We will definitely come back.

    Nicer seating area for dinner.

    I just love these family restaurants. So authentic and made with lots of love. This is an easy Uber from O'Hare if you have a long layover. Serious comfort food so expect lots of cream. The goulash did not disappoint and was served with four massive homemade dumplings that looked like four large slices of dense bread. It paired well with the gravy. My mushroom soup was served with a poached egg which was a new experience. Lots of lunch guests just sit at the bar for best service. Lots of table options too. You'll ever find a place like this in suburbia. A real treat.

    Cheers!

    I am from Czech Republic and live in US for a while now. Thanks to Cafe Prague me and my friends were able to enjoy our traditional food and beer! Everything was great. Just like our grandma's! The place is clean and people there are very welcoming and friendly. Definitely recommended!

    Finally, summer in Chicago has arrived. Rosa J., Daddy J., and Mama J. were checking out the Montclare neighborhood on the western boarder of the city. I "yelped" Cafe Prague ahead of time. Cafe Prague is located near the Belmont and Rutherford. What an Oasis! The lady servers there were absolutely gorgeous! When I asked for recommendations, one of the beautiful young ladies quickly explained some of the Czech staples. In the ends, Mama J. went with the traditional halusky (a noodle-based dish with bacons and sour cream); Daddy J. picked beef goulash; I chose the grilled filet mignon. The beef goulash also came with a choice of bread dumplings. While I wasn't crazy about the taste of bread dumplings (semi-bland and doughy), the beef goulash was tender and filling. If you typically like any western-style comfort food, beef goulash would potentially be a great belly-warmer when the harsh Chi-town winter season comes around. Although the traditional halusky was listed as an "appetizer" on the menu, whoever with a small appetite should be fine with this dish alone. The combination of the potato noddles, fried bacons, and sour cream were quite delicious. However, I know many of you aren't the fan of sour cream in any shape or form. You might want to skip this one if you dislike anything with an acidic flavor. On the other hand, my grilled filet mignon was cooked appropriately according to what I requested (medium). It was juicy, with a plenty of sauce to keep the meat moist. With one (1) starter and two (2) entrees, our total came to $41.90. I thought the price was fair for the neighborhood standard. Cafe Prague also has a small, yet well-decorated patio facing Belmont Ave. They also have a separate area for bar patrons. We saw a Czech-style birthday party going on at the adjacent table. As an immigrant myself, it's always delightful to find a place to celebrate and make myself at home in a foreign country. This afternoon I got to know a little bit about the Central Europe, and walked out the restaurant with a full stomach.

    Beef Cheeks

    Food was wonderful! Try the beef cheeks and topinky. Marzena was a wonderful waitress. She explained everything to us and had great suggestions. 5 star service and food!

    Pilsner $3 special
    Kenya G.

    Wasn't the friendliest staff but it was a unique restaurant and I have never seen anything like it. Eastern European influence brings such inspirational dishes. I was on to there for a snack so I got a $3 pilsner (which was a daily special) and their signature Prague wings (I got half off as the daily special as well) they were delicious. The sauce they used has many layers of flavors and a depth that I couldn't quite pinpoint. This was an enjoyable snack and I very well might be back again when in Chicago.

    A wonderful experience this afternoon. Had a chance to chat with the manager, and enjoyed myself a Czechvar beer. There entire staff was extremely friendly, and the quality of the place is one of the best in the area. Highly recommend!
