Food was awesome, had the Braised Lamb Shank, with Brussel sprouts and mashed potatoes. The Lamb was tender and juicy. Pistachio crème brûlée was great as well. Had a couple of ciders, which went well with dinner. Service was top notch, our waiter was excellent , he was attentive and accommodating when it came to split the check, as we had a group of 6. Vibes were good, it was a little quiet when we arrived, as most of the diners were sitting outside. But after being sat inside and ordering drinks, the inside started to fill up. But the environment was still great. read more

We visited the beautiful u bulinu, not once, not twice, but three times during our stay in Prague. The staff were always friendly and the professionalism of their service was 5 stars. The food was spectacular, Goulash, Schnitzel, Deer, all of it was a testament to delicious Czech food with a modern twist. You cannot go wrong dining at U Bulinu in Vinohrady. You'll be back for more!! A big shout out to the staff, in particular Erica and our multilingual friend from Tunisia/Algeria, we don't remember his name, but thank you both for the great service and memorable experience! read more

U Bulínů is an excellent restaurant with a friendly and communicative staff. The food is outstanding, and personally, I can say it's my favorite place to enjoy delicious confit duck with cabbage and dumplings. As for the Karlovy Vary dumplings, in my opinion, they are the best in Prague. You might think this review is biased, but I strongly recommend visiting U Bulínů yourself and tasting it for yourself. I wish you all a pleasant meal! U Bulínů je skvělá restaurace s příjemným a komunikativním personálem. Jídlo je vynikající a mohu říct, že je to moje nejoblíbenější místo, kde si dát výbornou konfitovanou kachnu se zelím a knedlíky. Co se týká karlovarských knedlíků, podle mého názoru jsou to ty nejlepší v Praze. Možná si budete myslet, že tato recenze je napsána ze známosti, ale proto vám doporučuji, abyste se k Bulínům vydali sami a ochutnali. Přeji vám všem dobrou chuť! read more

My world traveler friend called U Bulinu "the best meal he had in Prague", so expectations were sky high. Walking in surprised it was a pub and not a sit down restaurant, but OK, let's see what you got. Menu comes on clipboard with lots of items. Scanning them over, disappointed no beef short ribs, chose the duck breast and beef goulash instead. Duck breast was done in cherry sauce with mashed potatoes. Outstanding. The beef in goulash just melted, so tender no knife was needed. Comes with potato pancakes. Excellent. Had to try dessert so we had the pistachio creme brûlée and the iced coffee. Creme brûlée soft and sweet with just a hint of pistachio although you could tell they were there. Ice coffee came with ice cream and whipped cream like a root beer float. Both delicious. Service was excellent. English speaking, very nice and pleasant. All this for 800 ckz (around $32 US) are you kidding me? My world traveler friend has good taste. Excellent restaurant - a must visit when in Prague. read more

One of the better places i've eaten at in Prague and it's located conveniently around Vinohrady which was near my hotel. Not another tourist trap like everything else. Choose outside seating if weather permits.. English menu and english-speaking, friendly staff were not taken for granted Portions were good, the cucumber lemonade was to die for... especially on a hot summer day. I got a braised beef in cream sauce with potato pancakes (it was served with cranberry sauce too) - nothing new or outstanding but better quality than a lot of the other restaurants here in Prague. read more

Traditional Czech food! This is a cool restaurant in Prague, serving up some great grub! They accept reservations, but when I arrived for an early dinner, it looked like I didn't need them. But it filled up quickly! I ended up getting the wild boar shoulder, with a cranberry and almond sauce, which was amazing. It was a gamier pork, but it seemed like it was slow cooked in the juices and sauce- it was amazing. They also serve up about four different beers- I went for the traditional Pilsner Urquell, a great Czech beer that I highly recommend. The decor of this place was interesting- it's like they found a bunch of old stuff, and tacked/welded it together in weird ways that don't make sense. Plumbing part lamps, and old pictures that have been edited with something different or modern. Weird stuff, but interesting! The staff was friendly, spoke proficient English, and were helpful in getting our orders right! It was a great experience! read more

Wowwww! So good food! I don't have words to say how good was this experience. Very good service, food on time. The food is really tasty. I had mushroom soup, and beef goulash. Give a chance to this typical Czech bar, you are not gona be disappointed! Excellent read more

I can't recommend this place enough! For one thing, I was in an adventurous mood. Instead of going with duck or pork belly--two meals I know I would have enjoyed--I went with the...rabbit. I knew I was taking a risk. But it was a risk I wanted to take, and it paid off. The meat was so succulent, like a more flavorful chicken. The beer was rich and hoppy. The atmosphere was both open and yet intimate. And the location can't be beat (in the neighborhood where many hostels are). Definitely come here for a good, cheap meal with friends! read more

We tried this place out on the recommendation of a close friend. She said the goulash was the best she'd ever had so I decided to try it out. We arrived and were immediately sat at a quaint two top in the middle of the restaurant. For being a Saturday afternoon it wasn't terribly busy, maybe 4 other tables. We ordered Pilsners and the venison pâté and boiled sausage for our starters. Surprisingly the venison pâté was phenomenal! It had pistachios in it and came with a cranberry sauce and bread. The boiled sausage came with spicy mustard and capers. The sausage was slightly undercooked for my liking. Sadly they were not featuring goulash on the menu when we were there so I opted for a beef roast entree instead. It came with carrots and potatoes and was filling. My husband ordered potato mushroom soup. We almost asked for the recipe for the soup because it was fricken awesome! If it were sociably acceptable I would've licked the bowl clean! The service was efficient and friendly. The staff were kind and presented us with English menus. Overall it was a great lunch in Prague. I would highly recommend the soup!! read more

Best meal we had in Prague in Sept 2012. Goulach was super tasty served in a bread bowl. The duck with dumplings was delicious as well. Ice cold beer, super friendly service and walking distance from our hotel. Will be back on the next trip to Prague. Super cheap too...best part of Prague after leaving Vienna was the cheap an tasty food and beer. Vienna was awesome and had tasty beer & food but was like twice the price. read more

Very good local fare. Tired Americans showed up hungry and this place did not disappoint. Their English is very good - you will not have an issue making yourself understood :). I had the goulash, which was very good, but VERY VERY salty. And I love salt. My companions had falafel, lamb shank and beef medallions in cream sauce. Out of the four MEALS, the beef was the most well-liked dish. Prices are excellent - our TOTAL bill was USD 69.80 INCLUDING a modest (but appropriate) 10% tip (4 dinners, 1 beer and 5 glasses of wine). Credit cards are accepted. Highly recommended. read more

This is one of our favorite neighborhood Czech restaurant, conveniently located in Praha 2! Came here for my birthday dinner and ordered the house specialties, including lamb leg, grilled duck breasts, and pork chops! All the meats were deliciously tender and has the hallmarks of Czech cuisine! Come here while in Prague! It will be a highlight of your trip! read more

This place was a staple of my study abroad experience and I've been here almost 10 times. I always wound up getting the same dish: the duck with cherry sauce with french fries substituted in and it's a worthy dish with some great flavors, but sometimes the cherry sauce is a bit overpowering and the prices are a little bit steep (it's about $12 for everything). I go here for some quick, nicer meals sometimes because it's close to one of the dorms, but it does get packed so you should either make a reservation or arrive early! For the desserts, I would recommend you get the hot raspberries because even though they're really sweet, it's delicious every now and then. read more

I really like the ambiance of U Bulínu. It was a great spot to go have a drink, but do not disregard the food, because it is delicious. The service was very good as well! Server was attentive and very nice. If I ever go back to Prague again, I'm definitely making a stop here. read more

Very nice interior, nice staff speaking fantastic English and always willing to help out. Service is quick and easy, I had the beef ghoulash and it was incredible, would highly recommend this place if you're looking for a slightly cheaper authentic Czech cuisine, meal and beer came to 294Kč, or roughly £10 ! read more

I had the rabbit with lentils, the lentils were cooked perfectly. The rabbit was prepared well, I was just not a fan of the texture. Not enough texture in my opinion. Service was accommodating and friendly though. I would come back, but try the duck next time. read more

First restaurant we stopped at in Prague. The food was excellent! Very Czech just like we wanted! The waiters spoke English which was helpful on our first restaurant experience there. We didn't have to guess too much! read more

I cannot understand all of those raving reviews. Honestly. We have been there once when it was cold. We sat down and just put down our jackets on the bench next to us - as you would do in an almost empty (not too fancy) restaurant for lunch. A waiter came and told us that he wouldn't accept that and we would have to hang our jackets on the coat rack. He showed no mercy when we told him that we would rather have them with us. I just thought that behavior was very rude. Unsurprisingly, we didn't enjoy our lunch (although I can't remember if the food was really bad or just "meh"). We went back a few weeks ago - like grown ups - leaving that one bad experience in the past because their garden looked inviting and we wanted to give the place another chance since so many people seem to enjoy it. And the food was "meh". Just "meh". The soup contained way too much salt, the Svickova tasted very bland and was maybe one of the worst Svickovas I ever had...and I have had loads since I love that dish. There are SO many better options in the neighborhood, especially if you fancy the Czech cuisine! read more

This place is amazing. Would highly recommend the pork cheek and the lamb knee. Pork belly and the roasted rabbit also definitely worth a try. If you go with a group order an extra entree or two cause I'm sure everything here is worth trying. Wash it all down with a glass of Pilsner Urquell. read more

This is awesome restaurant. We originally didn't plan to go because it is opposite direction to old town. I am glad and delighted that we did. After 3 days eating at old town and new town, I feel that U Bulinu exceed most places in old town or new town. Do visit and if you have 24 hour transportation pass, this is right on tram 22, 23 route. We shared the duck salad which is very good portion. We also had the duck breast with cherry sauce and beef cheek in wine sauce. The portions are big but I cannot leave it unfinished, it was that good. read more

Enjoyed the Pork ribs here, served with a generous side of warm brown bread and sour cream. Good Mojitos as well, and great service:)

Excellent cuisine, very friendly staff (encouraging those with stumbling Czech and welcoming with pure English), very worth the visit! We had roast duck with dumplings, duck breast with caramelized onions over groats - and an app of white asparagus soup with dry martini was a wonderful variation. Pure joy. English menu on their website. Don't miss U Bulínů! (And it was worth downloading a Czech keyboard just to say so!) read more

This restaurant serves one of the most delicious and affordable meals I have eaten so far in Prague. There is a great collection of different traditional Czech dishes, and most of the main plates come with Czech dumplings as a side. The pork shoulder with bacon dumplings is absolutely amazing, as well as the rabbit leg dish. I highly recommend the homemade fruit teas that they have, which are a perfect complement to the meal. The only knock I have against this almost-perfect meal was the fact that even though we came when there were only 2 other tables being waited on, we waited nearly half an hour to receive our check after asking for it from 2 different waiters. I'll chalk this up to some rare mishap though, and will definitely be back before I leave. read more

This is my first Yelp review and I am writing it while in the restaurant.

U Bulínů - Pork neck and pork belly with potato gnocchis with black beer sauce! - Czech Near Me - Prague, Puerto Rico

Love this place. This has become our weekly "Sunday dinner" spot. It's obvious that a lot of care has gone into this place - from the decor to the fanciful story of how the restaurant came to be which takes up two pages of the menu. The staff is efficient, friendly and patient with questions and dietary restrictions. Fantastic food from huge menu of items - there is definitely something for everyone. I haven't met a meal here I didn't enjoy, I try to have something different every time, but the duck is one of my favorites. The portions are generous and they also have unfiltered Pilsner Urquell on tap. This non-smoking restaurant is large as Czech dining establishments go, but manages to never feel loud or crowded. read more

U Bulínů - Roasted duck with red cabbage - Czech Near Me - Prague, Puerto Rico

As noted by others, this is another restaurant that has English speaking staff and an English menu. Made a reservation for a Friday night at 8:30 and it appeared that was important, as the bright restaurant was rather full. Started with a glass of Czech red wine, which came served cold so it was hard to tell how good it was. The second glass was from Israel which was also chilled, so not sure how good that one was either. One starter was a finely chopped steak tartare. It was excellent and very flavorful, and came with great, thick butter toasted bread. It was a substantial dish; too much for a starter. The goose liver pate was tasty, especially with the cranberry sauce. The bread for this was not so great. It was also a large piece of pate. The rabbit was smoked, which was an unexpected surprise, and cooked perfectly, falling off the bone. It was really tasty. It included zucchini, carrots and celery, which were crisp, in a lot of a very mild mustard sauce. It could have used some potatoes to soak up the sauce. The lamb chops came in a very sweet port wine sauce. There wasn't much meat on the chops. It was accompanied by a pile of potatoes, that weren't quite mashed and were covered in fresh marjoram stems. The potatoes were boring. It was a bit of a challenge to get the server's attention to pay at the end, which was weird, because as soon as I put down my fork when nearly finishing my entrée, the waiter swooped in to clear it away. read more

Most amazing food ever. I came with some friends and we ordered enough for double our table. Everything is reasonably priced and tasted amazing. Everything on the menu is great. Spoke english really well. Was good for an authentic Czech meal. Highly recommend the beef tartar. read more

From all the good reviews, I had a lot of expectations of a solid, fresh and generous czech styled meal. Unfortunately, not all these were fullfilled. First the the design and furnitures could use an update to create a warmer and cleaner atmosphere. I usually dont like modern slick cafes but U Bulinu is really too dated to my taste. The menu is certainly interesting and there is plenty of choice of meat, fish and starters which all sound classical and tasty. I appreciated the useage of local components and the effort to go beyond czech traditional recipes. The portions are very generous and they match the prices which I would describe as above the average czech standards. I really hoped the taste to be much better as too many of the components were from frozen, wrongly cooked or served too cold. It is a shame because, had everything been rightly done, it would have been a very very good deal for Prague. Especially as the service is professional, friendly and efficient. I will probably try again and see if we were unlucky because this restaurant has a much better reputation than we got served. read more

The U Bulinu is an original Czech Restaurant. It's not very touristic (they still have got an English menu) but that's what makes it so good. Nice atmosphere, delicious Czech food and friendly staff. After all, the prices are very fair and far below average! Definitely 5 stars! read more
