    I chose 4 stars because we did not have food here. We drank beers here a few times during our stay in Prague and the service is really good and this is a terrific place for people watching. We drank the mixed light and dark beers and they were great. I noticed the food that others ordered looked very good and I would not hesitate to order a meal here one day when we return.

    Leg of Goose
    Joseph S.

    The leg of goose was excellent and served with cabbage and dumplings. The gravy was delicious. The menu was extensive and my bride had the beef goulash which she enjoyed very much. The beer was great as well as the wine. The service was quick and friendly and the dessert cream puff suggested by our server was so good we ordered a second order. The restaurant is busy and thus a little noisy but nicely decorated with large pub look. We made reservations but I think walk ins are also entertained. Great for a relaxed casual meal

    Nice spot to eat near old town and close to the major hotels in the area. Wonderful outdoor patio and ample indoor space as well. Food was great, very local foods and flavors. Service of course was fine, allows you to enjoy meal slowly and never a rush. Recommend using a reservation especially weekend nights!

    Location location location! Dined in December and the restaurant is located right outside of a Christmas market. The place is packed so I recommend a reservation. As Pilsner Urquell's original restaurant, the beers are delicious

    Goulash.
    Brian L.

    It was fine. This is a small chain of Prague restaurants I guess that feel a bit like some of the pseudo-pub chains from the states. But a nice feeling I guess. It's a "safe bet" There was one next to my Airbnb that I wanted to try but was put off by negative reviews. Well, I'll say there's nothing special about it. I had a fast and easy lunch. It tasted just fine, nothing mind blowing. People were friendly. Not too crowded (at lunchtime). Enough menu items to satisfy picky families.

    Sharing platter
    Chrystal C.

    My first meal in Prague! We got the sharing platter, of course, to try as many things as we could at once! It was all great and a the beginning of an obsession with that classic, hearty, meat- and dumpling-loving Czech food! We ate outside, which was lovely, and our server was friendly and fast.

    Svichova, Moravian sparrow (pork), Old Czech Kolkovna platter
    Angela C.

    Just around the corner of Marriott, asked concierge to make a reservation and we walked there. Good idea to make resi in general when in Prague. Ordered Svichova, Moravian sparrow (pork), Old Czech Kolkovna platter. The platter was the highlight, more than enough for 2, hearty variety of meats-duck, pork, sausage, smoked meat, and sides including cabbage, potatoes, bread dumplings! Good vibes inside but would have been nice to be seated outside and people watch.

    Roast duck w all the sides for me and wild boar leg with gingerbread gnocchi for my family members! Delicious!

    Excellent authentic food and amazing prices! We enjoyed our meal and the ambiance. It was a traditional Czech experience! If we visit Prague again, we will be back!

    This is by far one of my favorite places to visit when in Prague. Over the last 15yrs I've been coming to Prague this restaurant never lets me down. This is located in near the powder gate and features great Czech cuisine and great beer! I ordered the Kolkovna platter which is a large portion of meat along with three different dumplings, cabbage and sauerkraut. It is so tasty and filling along with a large pivo. Will always try to come back here for as long as it remains. The service is amazing and the environment is a like a big pub, which I love.

    Chef's platter
    Tom K.

    We had a variety of dishes and all were very good as was the service. We had a goose leg, a pork chop, a pork knuckle, chef''s platter and salmon. Definitely worth going here for the food and atmosphere.

    A breaded pork schnitzel with potato salad ( vepřový řízek)
    Steve P.

    I didn't realize, from reading the reviews, that local hotels recommend this establishment. I walked past it when going to the Communist museum next door last week. the place was pretty full on a Monday afternoon but no line to get in. I asked the girl upfront if they had a place for one person and she took me to a table inside. A pretty big menu. I ordered a medium (500ml Pilsner, and a vepřový řízek ( a pork breaded schnitzel) which comes with a side of potato salad. It's one of my favorites and I've had it all over Prague in addition to other Czech staples. This one was a bit on the dry side.but good portion size. I found the service good, efficient for such a busy restaurant. The food was delivered pretty quickly. Different people took my order, cleared my table and took my payment. All very efficient. I rounded up my bill for a tip. It's a repeat visit establishment for sure.

    Good times
    Nathan E.

    I ended up here for a work dinner with our Prague counterparts. The beer was great, service was constant, and the good times plenty. I think I remember ordering 200 grams of smoked pork and loving it. I would definitely come back again! Lively and loud, it's a true local treasure

    Menu
    Cindy C.

    This place was recommended by our hotel. We wanted to get authentic local food and this place seemed like a good choice. They had large selection on their menu but we settled on Czech specialty platter and roast beef entree. They both came with dumplings. The platter was very large, probably enough for two people to share. However, the duck was dry and didn't have much flavor. The pork was dry too (almost like jerky texture). The dumplings reminded me of mashed up thanksgiving stuffing. The roast beef was decent though. Overall, not very impressed with food here. The service was terribly slow also. We had to call on our waitress several times. I asked for change to leave a tip because they credit card payment didn't give me an option to add tip. After waiting 10 minutes for change, I gave up and left without leaving one. There's a first time for everything I guess.

    Brasserie La Gare, just like the name implies, is just steps away from the Namesti Republiky metro…read morestation and is also close to many tourist attractions. It is indeed in a touristy area, but after having walked a few dozen miles in Prague already, on the last night, close proximity and convenience trumps everything else. We made a reservation online and when we arrived we were promptly led to a table in white tablecloth right next to the window in the dining room. For appetizer, we shared a dozen SNAILS - yes, in Prague, even in a French restaurant, they call them snails, not escargots. In fact, Central Europeans had a long tradition of eating snails even before the French made this delicacy famous. The escargots, ok..., snails, were cooked in rich garlic butter mixed with parsley (that's what the green stuff is just in case you are wondering.) They were delicious, and almost as good as those from the streets of Paris. The CHATEAUBRIAND was brought to us on a carving board together with bone marrow, side dishes of vegetables and mashed potatoes, and a sauce boat full of yummy peppery gravy. Our server carved the beef nicely and plated the dishes meticulously at our table side. The beef was melt-in-your-mouth tender and very flavorful. We could easily tell this was top quality filet mignon and nothing less than the best cut. For the side dishes, I particularly liked the mashed potatoes which tasted like they were made with fresh and naturally creamy potatoes. The peppercorn sauce was rich but not overwhelming, subtly complementing the natural flavor of the steak. Service was 5-star throughout our meal. It began with a complimentary "water melon with bacon" palate cleanser, and ended with complimentary house-made chocolate at the conclusion of our meal. Service was attentive, friendly, prompt but not rushed, and literally white-glove throughout the night. You want me to give you a reason for visiting Brasserie La Gare, or Prague in general? This meal, including two large beers and two glasses of reasonably good wine, cost less than CZK 2,000 which is about US$90. Wanna go?

At first we were thrilled with our server's recommendations and excellent attention, as well as with the cocktails, food, and gorgeous ambiance. The problem occurred toward the end of the evening. Our server cleared our dishes and asked if we were interested in dessert. We said we would be happy to consider the choices. He left us and got busy with another party, which we understood, so waited for about 20 minutes. One of his colleagues passed by and we mentioned that we were waiting. We saw her tell our server, who still did not make time to check in with us. After waiting even longer, one member of our party--originally from England, which becomes important later--got up, found the server, and asked if we could get the dessert menu. Finally he came to our table. He did not apologize for the wait (all he needed to say was that he had gotten swamped, and we would have been fine with that small explanation). Instead, he said, "The hardest part is waiting," mentioned there is no actual dessert menu, then left and came back with a board showing us some of the desserts, explaining what they were. He was obviously irritated with us and so we opted to end the evening and asked for the check. He brought it quickly and pointedly explained that we could tip him. We were uninterested in rewarding his rudeness and did not tip him. Then he insultingly said to our English friend, who was paying: "I didn't think you had an American accent." This was so unprofessional. We go out of our way to be gracious when we travel, not wanting to be seen as "ugly Americans." We tip almost everyone and generously. Your server's increasing rudeness and growing irritation with us was completely uncalled for, and we are so disappointed to have this memory of an otherwise wonderful few days in your beautiful city.

The food is here to keep you busy and to slow down how fast you get drunk. Order bar food - fries, sausages, fried cheese- and you'll be great. Order a whole meal and well, you get the picture. The beer is good and the shots may or may not be to your taste. No, they're not free. Why would a beer hall give away alcohol? However, the word "no" is perfectly acceptable if you don't want a shot or another beer. The staff doesn't care whether or not you order beer. I got bottled tea and I saw others drinking coffee. No hassles. Atmosphere is kicka**. On a nice day the outdoor tables are lovely. The interior has to be seen to be believed. If you tried to conjure up a fairytale Bohemian tavern you couldn't come up with something better than this. Stay as long as you like and enjoy the accordion music and the vibe.
