    Grilled calamari with side veggies

    Cute, colorful place with nice selection of seafood and wines from Croatia. We enjoyed our lunch there and the service was good!

    A quirky little restaurant with deliciously awesome food. If you order a main dish, they bring out complimentary bread and two types of cheese spreads; loved the homemade bread. My main dish was lamb sausage which came with another softer cheese spread(goat maybe), onions and lettuce; also ordered a side of rice which was just ok - but everything worked well together. Staff was nice and attentive, but only really spoke to us if we called them over or if they saw an empty plate or drink. I just assumed they didn't want interrupt us.

    Such a cute restaurant! Really interesting decor. They have some tables outside and then multiple rooms inside. We sat towards the front in a sort of booth. So many things on the menu sounded good. I didn't get a pic of the homemade bread, but it was so good. The beef patty with cheese and peppers was tasty and the cheese added a pleasant flavor. The sausages tasted kind of like a slim Jim, in a good way. The service was good. Very friendly and helpful.

    Very good restaurant with great service. It was a deliciously flavored dinner but to be honest the penne was plain and season free of enough salt. The balance of acid for the dish was wonderful and well thought out. If you need a place to go for dinner where you can have Balkan food, this is the place.

    Craving Balkan food while I was at the Czech Republic, and the hotel concierge found this place for me. Upon arrival the place looked like a casual dining place with lots of blue colours. I ordered cevappi. Food tasted good but I wish they cooked it a little longer. Potato salad Cevappi Coke -------- €16.00

    Table wear was also cute!

    Octopus! This was very delicious..

    So let me be clear - this place is weird. We noticed it immediately from the outside as it's the most colourful looking place for miles. And It's designed as though someone had a crazy acid trip when they were putting together the decor. There are doll houses, chairs on the ceiling, ships in bottles in faux-windows, all mixed into a cosy diner style layout. However, it's also brilliant. The place is a great conversation starter in itself, with all that wacky decor. There's also that this place is family owned, serving traditional Balkan food. Yes, it's Prague, but why not? And then the menu.. I couldn't look past the prospect of trying a traditionally prepared octopus with potatoes, pepper, onions, garlic and parsley - and it was oh, so good. Like, really, really good. Seriously, come here and have the octopus. So, good. I also have chicken wings for a starter, and they were delicious. And generous portion sizes on both dishes left me very filled - excellent dinner. The only draw back was the service - though the waiter spoke excellent English, we spent much of our time at Luka Lu sat around waiting for service, which was odd considering we were the only people in the restaurant. I'm clipping off a star for that, but don't let it discourage you from trying the excellent cuisines here.

    Wonderful meal for our group of eight. Service was very good. Wonderful flavors, good qualities. Recommend you try, worth it.

    I was wondering what´s gonna be the 100th review about. I was thinking about something amazing. Something what I love. And then I realize I didn´t review this place. Perfect. So here we go :-) Well placed between Malostranské náměstí and Újezd. It´s a little bit pricey so it´s not for regular visits but it´s sooooo worth to visit this place at least few times per year. Decoration. The first thing what will hit you is the decoration. It´s amazing. It´s maybe overdecorated but perfectly overdecorated. And it works. And it´s a good topic to talk about while waiting for meals. Meals. Ok, so this item is also very highly ranked. The cousine is mix of balkan and mediterrian area. So you can order specialities like pljeskavica, čevapčiči as well as pasta, steakes, fish and many other. They have only Pilsner (beer) but also very good wine list. Plus they offer liquers from Macedonia, Croatia and Bosna and Herzegovina. Just try it and prove me that I am wrong when I say that this should be on "to visit" list for any fan of good time and delicious meals. You don´ t have a chance :-)

    The menu of the restaurant is basically Balkan and Yugoslavian which is very close to our taste (Turkish).

    Pork’s - Pork knuckle!

    Pork’s

    One of the more memorable meals I had in Prague! The food was incredible and absolutely worth the…read morevisit. The only downside is the line--which is typically very long. I waited about 45 minutes to an hour, so patience is definitely part of the experience. That said, if you happen to be walking by and notice the line is unusually short, take that as your sign and get in line immediately. You may never see an opportunity like that again. Service was great, and everyone was friendly and welcoming despite how busy they were. They even surprised us with complimentary shots at the end of the meal, which was a fun way to finish things off. The food alone makes this one worth putting on your Prague list--just be prepared to wait for it!

    Pork's almost always has a line and is known amongst locals as a tourist spot. Despite this, I…read morefound that Pork's had some of the best pork knuckles that I tried in Prague. After trying some relatively disappointing pork knuckles, I decided to take a chance on Pork's. We went after visiting the Prague Castle around 3 PM. Having walked past it a few times, there was always a line, and I was hoping eating between meal times would help. While it was shorter, there was still a line, but it moved quickly. When we got into the restaurant, I immediately noticed how smoothly everything operated. The restaurant was quite large. Much bigger than I anticipated. The second we sat down, a server approached us to ask if we knew what we wanted. It was clear that their main goal was to rotate people out of the restaurant as fast as possible. I knew I wanted the pork knuckle, but I wish we had a bit more time to look through everything, including the drinks. I ordered the pork knuckle first and planned to get a drink when the server came back. Before I knew it, the dish was on our table. With the small menu and constant turnaround, it wasn't surprising that the food was already prepared and only needed to be plated and sent to our table. It took about three minutes total. The skin was extremely crisp, so much so that it was hard to cut through at points, but the knives provided were nice and sharp. The first bite I had was extraordinary. The meat inside was still juicy and tender despite not being made to order. It was so soft and contrasted perfectly with the crispy and oily skin. It was very rich, but was nicely balanced by the necessary mustard that came with it. As I continued eating, I found that the whole knuckle wasn't perfectly consistent, with some bites being slightly dry. However, this didn't take away from the overall experience and the high highs that the dish achieved. If anything, there needed to be a little more mustard just to have enough for each bite of meat. The pork knuckle here was the best I had during my time in Prague. Pork's is all about putting food on the table and cycling guests in and out of their restaurant, which I respected. They aren't trying to blow customers away with outstanding service, which is still friendly, but is very limited in interactions to keep things quick. The food alone carries the restaurant to a high mark that makes up for any shortcomings in the service experience. Pork's is an easy restaurant to recommend in Prague as a great place to try a delicious pork knuckle and more.
