    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.

    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.

    We went to this restaurant twice during our 2 days stay in Czech Republic :P First day their service was excellent...our server (I think his name was Lucas) was very attentive and caring. He even brought couple of books for our little one when he noticed how restless she was while waiting for the food, even after being busy. They have so many different meat options to choose from. We have tried their leg of goose, roast duck, grilled beefsteak, roast salmon, grilled veal and svickova dishes...all were delicious! Their chocolate fondant and cream of white chocolate with rosemary were also very tasty!

    Good times

    The quality of food is not the best. But ok for the price we paid. If you look for a cosy place with nice food you might skip thin one.

K ordered the Goulash, and I had the Chicken Schnitzel along with a beetroot salad to share. The food was plentiful and very good, especially the goulash gravy which was a deep colour that had amazing flavour. The schnitzel was not as big as the plate, but I couldn't finish it. K had a glass of wine and I a beer for about $64 CDN, which is good in Prague. Our only quibble was that the beetroot salad turned into a cabbage salad with horseradish. It was also good, but not what we ordered. We would most certainly come back and endure the half hour wait to experience and enjoy what is a somewhat unique European offering.

Having had just arrived in Prague earlier that day and having cycled 100+ kilometers, I was quite famished when I arrived. I hadn't made a reservation but being a singleton at an early evening hour, the staff found me a table quickly. I started by ordering an alcohol-free beer and then I perused the menu. Marek, the waiter, soon came to my aide and helped me pick out a hearty portion: dumplings, of course! For dessert, I also had another set of dumplings and I loved both dishes.

I was about to order a glass of wine when I saw the Pilsner Urquell in the three styles. Although the menu did not have the official name, I opted for The Cut (aka Šnyt), which is more foam than beer. For dinner, I went with the Veal & Cheese Rissole. The breading provided plenty of flavor to the veal & pork combo. The mashed potato had a very creamy texture. Unfortunately, the cucumber salad was the least favorite of the three. The shredded cucumber was akin to sauerkraut being drowned in water. I regretfully passed on the dessert. From my vantage point, I could not see anyone ordering dessert. Even more regrettable, before I left, I discovered the restroom was not well cleaned.
