Three courses, one city: Breakfast, lunch and dinner in Prague

Food & Drink

Nothing quite tells you more about a place than its food. Prague is no exception to this rule: the Czech capital has a cosmopolitan mix of multiple cuisines available, which is representative of the international nature of the city; this internationalism notwithstanding, they’re also very proud of their heritage, and this can be seen in the large number of restaurants serving top notch local fare. Most would pigeonhole Czech cuisine as hearty, but there’s a refined element to many of the dishes, which can be as delicate as anything from a fancy, haute cuisine place in Lyon. And, the best part of this all is that Prague food prices are relatively cheap compared to other European destinations, especially with the high quality that’s on offer.
