    Uzené koleno s oblohou (smoked pork leg with garnish)
    Michael S.

    Ho man, this place! First of all, ya gotta go way down a buncha steps deep into a dungeon! It's quite obvious that this place was used as some sort of bunker, or maybe an underground operations chamber, where they were planning their next attack during the WWs. Well, maybe it isn't that obvious, cuz I'm totally making this all up, so ya know. Don't let your dreams be dreams, baby! Anyway, our server man spoke English/Deutsch (thank god)/Czechia, so it was fun mixing it up with him. Always gotta keep these people on their toes, ya knows?! The beers were a-flowin', the food was a-comin' and the lady was happy with that big fat Pork Leg thing. It was good as hell, don't get me wrong, but she was all shy about ordering it, didn't wanna make me wait, but boi-o-boi could I see the burning desire in her eyes! So we ordered it and guess what?! Happy Wife ---- Happy Life ^____________^

    This is one of two Ferdinanda locations in Prague (the other is in New Town). The service is cheerful and friendly, and the food is fantastic. I highly reommend the fried bread with blue cheese as an appetizer; the pork with apricot chutney and a side of french fries is an excellent entree. Another American also told us that the goulash was excellent. The entire restaurant is underground in what appears to have once been a cellar, which means that it's an excellent way to escape the heat on a hot day. And of course, the beer is excellent.

    This place offers quality food for very reasonable prices, especially for being located so close to Karlův most. The czech cuisine is quite authentic and locals often come here during the week on their lunch breaks as the restaurant offers a lunch menu that is quite a steal. Last but not least the underground location has a nice historical feel.

    We descended the stairs to the Ferdinand with some trepidation, half expecting a loud Czech dive bar decorated with relics from the Communist era. Not to be, the Ferdinand offers a minimalist but clean and functional space. Best of all, the food was quite good. With a table of goulash, dark beer, and grilled pork with apricots we began to feel like we were sampling the local cuisine. Don't miss the beer cheese starter with fresh bread. Service was attentive but not obtrusive, and the food arrived quickly after we ordered. I would recommend this place for a taste and economical dinner. The the location is convenient, a short walk from the Charles Bridge.

    Dining in a cavernous setting was a definitely an experience. Good food, great house beers at great prices. Will come back.

    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. So fun to try new foods when traveling.

    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.

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.

The food on offer for Easter Day lunch and dinner was great. The three course choice menu provided us a sample of traditionally prepared rabbit, while our mains were delicious Czech cuisine. Dessert was a very tasty pear and ice cream en flambé. Located on the edge of the area and just on the other side of the large park, it is a nice spot to stumble upon for a bite to eat or have a full meal. Seating inside with open windows provides great views of the hillside as well as the busy sidewalk. The staff was very attentive and accommodating for us and for the large number of guests that were showing up for Easter Day dinner. They carved out time for our table to sample their wines and beers before ordering and were very on top of ensuring everything about our experience was going well.
