I really really want to give this place 5 stars, because of how lovely it is and how extremely nice…read morethe staff was, but some of the food unfortunately didn't meet the 5star standard (shame, cause the rest was super delicious!) - hopefully I'll be able to update my review next time! Babičina beseda is a hidden gem on the outskirts of Prague. Went there for a family lunch on the weekend and it was packed, but we managed to get a table. I loved the atmosphere here - it lives up to its name and it makes you feel like you are visiting a typical czech grandma - it is furnished with old, wooden furniture in a truly typical style and extremely cozy. We ordered wild garlic soup and steak tartare for starters and also got a complimentary basket of homemade pastries - all of it was really tasty, the soup was creamy and had a nice mild garlicky flavor and the steak was seasoned perfectly. For mains I opted for a dish from their special daily menu - veal roast stuffed with wild garlic + peas purée, while the rest ordered from their regular menu - ox cheek with plum sauce & creamy mushed potatoes. The food came fairly quickly and as soon as it did, I knew I was gonna regret my choice - the roast was visibly dry and with a couple semi-burnt dried tomatoes on top. The peas purée was okay but I didn't enjoy the meat at all- it was indeed extremely dry and the wild garlic stuffing was tasteless. The ox cheek, however, which I got to try as well, was superb. The meat was wonderfully tender and the plum sauce was to die for. For a dessert we got "věneček"- a cream filled choux bun, which was light, fluffy and perfect. I got a cappuccino to go with it, which was really good as well. Overall, I really enjoyed our visit here and am looking forward to coming back. I would definitely order from their regular menu next time though, as it seems those are the meals they have already perfected - unlike the meals from their special daily/seasonal menus.

Such a great authentic Czech spot. Food is fresh and tastes homemade. I recommend the chicken…read moresnitzel and the au gratin potatoes. Dill soup with egg and the best homemade pannet cake!! Highly recommend heading out to the outskirts for what I consider the most authentic Czech meal I've had in my 3 months in Prague. Prices are very reasonable too

It´s a bit out of Prague but still easy to get there (preferebly by car). And it´s worth it. There…read moreis a pond from one side so it´s pretty relaxing to sit on a terrace and to watch the water surface. At the other side (inner backyard) is a big garden so plenty of opportunities to sit outside and enjoy it. Decoration is mainly wooden. Generally speaking the enviroment is very cozy. The service is very good. Always with a smile and ready to help. I like that. Cousine is mainly czech (maybe kind a modern czech). We tried goulash, beef sirloin in a cream sauce, chicken, schnitzels, potato pancakes and many other meals. And all of that was very good, maybe even delicious :-) Especially the potato pancakes. I know that it´s nothing difficult but you would be surprised how many cooks don´t know how to make it properly. And here they know. So thumb up. Wine list is also a big plus and of course they have a full bar. So all and all I think that this place deserves to be visited more often than just once.
