First night in Prague, and we wanted to try local cuisine. Quite honestly, I have always thought of…read moreCzech food as hearty, which has never been my preference. I had beef neck sous-vide with a lager. The beef was accompanied by a poached egg, bread dumplings, and a dill sauce. I was expecting something heavy, but it wasn't. It was really excellent.

TLDR: there are better options for food and beer. I came here because the reviews were excellent,…read morehowever, I wasn't the biggest fan. We ordered the beef cheeks, which were served cold (likely as intended but not what I was expecting). Flavor was fine but not great. The burger was also just okay. For something so standard, it was passable but not likely to order again. Our favorite dishes were 1) the duck and 2) potato and vegetable patties. Duck was crispy, hot, and had pretty good flavor! The vegetable patties were also crispy and balanced, slightly sweet. The beer list was limited but we liked what we ordered. Hate to be a broken record but we've had better while in the city. Wouldn't recommend this place to a friend since it was just average.

During the planning stage of our visit to Prague, I researched restaurants local to our hotel and…read morechose Mincovna in old town. Despite our reservation, the place seemed relatively empty. We are early diners and the only couple near us were also Americans on holiday. Our server spoke excellent English and guided us through the menu choices. After an appetizer of tomatoes and cucumbers in a light dressing, I ordered the sirloin in cream and my wife the trout filet. The food, like the service, was superb. Our server surprised us with a complimentary "shot" of a very strong Czeck liqueur at the end of the meal. we had a grand time and hope you will too!!

Nonetheless, I entered and hope for an escape from the unforgiving sun on that day. The staff seated me at one of the booths and after I requested some information explaining the menu and what's popular, they were more than happy to assist. They even explained some local etiquette and so on which was perfect for a visitor like myself. I decided to try out their Pickled Cheese as an appetizer. The cheese, paired with the onion salad and bagel was great. I really didn't know if I was eating it correctly but still delicious. For the main course, my waiter recommended a Schnitzel with potato salad. Just to get it out of the way, but the potato salad was almost better than anything I've had in the United States. I thought we were doing it right until I spent one day in Prague. The Schnitzel was also delicious. Perfect with the salad, the provided a blend of flavor and substance I desperately needed. All in all, this place was a great experience in Prague. The staff could not have been anymore nicer as I left with an itinerary on what to do during my time in Prague. The food and service were great. Don't be fooled by the location and stop by if you're in Old Square.

We truly enjoyed every single item that we ordered. The house made bread was so delicious.

It was the most expensive meal I had in Prague, and while the food was good, for these prices, I expect to either be really impressed by the food or to have particularly special service or ambiance. Because I didn't have a reservation, I was seated in the entry hallway; the ambiance may be a little nicer in the downstairs dining room. I had the spinach tagliatelle, tiramisu, and a lime iced tea. I thought the candied walnuts in the pasta were interesting and I really liked the dish. The tiramisu was good but not a standout, though I liked how the bitterness of the espresso came through. Lime iced tea was pretty sweet and more lime than tea, but it was nice even if it wasn't what I expected. If you don't care too much about prices, this is a good place, I just think there are comparatively good Italian restaurants at a better price if you go a little further from the major tourist areas.

Phenomenal experience, from start to finish. The bread basket came with this excellent ham and…read morecheese spread, unexpected. I don't generally like ham but it was a really tasty spread. Of course the bread itself was also delicious. Beef broth with marrow dumplings was delicious, vegetables were cut perfectly into tiny cubes, great umami depth of flavor. The sea bream was a generous portion, I don't always love spinach but I really enjoyed how they served the spinach, the fish had a crispy skin and was moist inside. Cucumber salad side dish seems so simple but perfectly executed. I guess it's how thinly they sliced the cucumber and the freshness of the cream. I love that they had a children's menu- we have eaten and many fine dining spots across Prague and this was the first we got a kids menu. The kids menu has Shnitzel with mashed potatoes and my kids absolutely scarfed it down. Also a generous portion, the chicken shnitzel was crispy and moist. The porcini souffle with mushroom stuffed gnocchi was a great vegetarian dish. Last but not least, we ordered 5 desserts to share and all were top notch. The passion fruit cake, strawberry cheesecake, poached pear, chocolate pyramid with sour cherry and dumplings with poppy seed ice cream and plum - all excellent. 5 star experience

We ordered the meatloaf, fried cheese, and plenty of Czech beer. The food was delicious, fresh, and came out quickly. The Czech beer was fantastic--so smooth and easy to drink that you barely realize how many liters you've had! The dessert wasn't really my thing, but everything else was excellent. Service was outstanding. The servers were friendly, attentive, and incredibly efficient even with the restaurant buzzing with people and the game on. The vibe is what makes Lokal so special--lively, casual, and quintessentially Czech. If you're in Prague and want great food, excellent beer, and a fun local atmosphere, this is a must-visit.

The place was packed upon entrance so it may benefit to schedule a reservation for a larger party. As I was by my lonesome, I sat down at a table and began to take in the atmosphere. The hall was breathing with life of people enjoying drinks and chatting, so don't expect a quiet dining experience. My waitress recommended I try the sausage variety as an appetizer so I gave it a go. The food came out after about five minutes. I could be intoxicated by the delight of visiting Europe but the sausages were so delicious and fresh. The mustard and horseradish which accompanied the dish were delicious and complimented the protein so well. For the main dish, my waitress also recommended the Chicken and Rice. The food followed my appetizer about five minutes after. Upon first sight, the portions and composition of the plate spoke to me in a commanding yet soft whisper. The chicken was so tender that it melted off the bone. The rice was so dense yet fluffy. Each bite combination sprinkled with the gravy made for a euphoric taste in each chew. In other words, the food was incredible. This restaurant provided to perfect opportunity to try out traditional Czech food without leaving a hole in you wallet. The pricing, the vibes, and the seemingly unlimited beer made for an authentic experience. It is definitely worth a visit here, or at any of the Lokál chains if you find yourself in Prague.

We wanted to grab breakfast before we were headed to the airport but didn't feel like eating too much. First, they have a high chair, a huge plus for us parents. I got the mascara-done caramel banana pancake, which the server told us was a popular item. My husband got the salmon with cream cheese, and he said that was amazing. So unlike other places that usually stack pancakes and then put the topping at the top, this each layer has the filling, so each layer of the salmon pancake has cream cheese and salmon. The mascarpone and banana was the same each layer, filled with banana and cream. Highly recommend this little gem if you are around the area.

The halloumi and avocado as well as the hummus were layered in the stack so every bite had something in it. The karak latte was also very good with a smooth flavour. I appreciated that they could make it with alternative milk since most places I've been to that serve this will only do it with dairy. Would absolutely recommend for a fun, relaxed breakfast or lunch.
