Octopus risotto with black ink... so yes, your teeth, mouth, tongue will turn black.
Kathy C.

We had a great experience at Hergetova Cihelna during our recent visit to Prague. I wasn't sure how to make a reservation so I emailed them and received a response promptly. I asked for either a table outside if weather permits or a window seat if inside. The email response was friendly and confirmed my request. It must have been because of the timing (not high tourist season) and the weather (kinda gloomy), because when we arrived on a Monday afternoon at 5 PM, the restaurant was empty. However, the hostess greeted us and sat us at a nice table by the window (outside seating was closed). The restaurant is beautiful and the service was excellent. My husband and I shared the beef tartar appey and it was HUGE and delicious. I had the octopus risotto and he ordered the Burger Royal. I enjoyed my dish OK and everyone had fun making fun of me and my sister (she ordered the same dish) because of the black ink in the risotto turning our mouth/teeth black. Hubby liked the burger (tho he said it was a bit small) and loved the flavor of the patty. So overall, it was a pretty good experience. I guess the price is considered higher (comparing to other Prague restaurants), but it's worth it in my opinion, because of the view and the service. The food didn't "wow" us, but they were definitely tasty. I'd recommend this restaurant for a nice atmosphere and great service, though slightly on the splurge side if you visit Prague.

The view from the terrace out at the Charles bridge. Amazing.
Colin D.

I'd give this place 5 stars for the food unadjusted for price, 4 stars for the food adjusted for price, and 5 stars again for the view. The view of the river and Charles bridge is just unbeatable. The food didn't disappoint, and while it was very expensive by Prague standards, the whole splurge of the meal for two with tax, tip, wine, two deserts, an appetizer and the like was about 3100 Kč, which is under $130. Really, not bad. We go the pumpkin ravioli, which were were good, but not distinguishably pumpkin and more lightly cooked round noodles in olive oil with pine nuts. The salmon was surprisingly good for a landlocked country, but not "crispy" save for the skin. Still, it was probably my favorite dish of the night. The Iberian pizza was very good--a lot because of the truffle oil, but still a deeply satisfying pizza. The chicken schnitzel was fantastic and ridiculously well-plated for kids food. Our 10-moth-old loved it. The pumpkin soup was much closer to a Thai tom yum gai with pumpkin seeds--which isn't a bad thing, but was just a bit surprising based on the menu description. The addition of chicken and noodles was a bit odd though. The wine list had a bunch of Czech wine, but the waiter couldn't give me a good enough description to feel comfortable ordering a bottle. I wound up getting an Italian Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, which was quite tasty if not the best bottle of red ever. Both deserts--the creme brulee and the chocolate fondant were great. The fondant was really more of a fantastic lava cake than any fondant that I would have recognized though.

Bread garlic knots...soooo good!
Stephanie L.

Beautiful patio area that overlooks the Charles bridge....probably the best view. The food was delicious and very American. Garlic bread knots...heaven! So good! Man, I dreamt of these after Appetizer sampler was fantastic. Seafood, chicken, salad, etc all was really well done Risotto was perfectly cooked...not too al dente and not too mushy. The flavor was amazing Burger was perfectly cooked and seasoned Service was good...slightly slow but I think that's just Europe!

Amazing food and view! The waiter was very friendly and attentive. The starter bread and butter were very fresh. I loved the nuts on the butter as well. I ordered the rigatoni with an extra side of grilled vegetables. The rigatoni was covered in tomato sauce, Parmesan, black olives and arugula. It was so delicious! The grilled vegetables included eggplant, bell pepper, asparagus and cherry tomatoes. The best part of the restaurant is the view! It overlooks the river which is gorgeous. It was a cold day outside so the waiter turned on the outdoor heater which was very helpful. Also they gave me a blanket to wear while I ate! So generous of them. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Thank you for a wonderful evening for our last night in Prague. We thoroughly enjoyed the view and delicious food. I highly recommend the angus burger with truffle if you are looking for a show stopper. Husband had the salmon and he said it was full of flavor. Thank you Hergetova Cihelná for a great night. Cheers from Tampa, FL

View from our table at the Charles Bridge and Prague
Scott S.

The food, service, and view were amazing. What else is there? You have to see.the two peeing and rotating statues first, hysterical. We had a nice.table for two outside right along the wall with an incomparable view of Charles Bridge and Prague. I don't even remember what I had, though it was great, by my wife still talks about her octopus with black risotto, and she is no big foodie. It was really awesome! Highly recommended, then just walk along the water to your hotel.

View from Hergetova Cihelna Restaurant at night
Rich N.

The setting is epic. Right on the river and adjacent to the iconic Charles Bridge and tower. Beautiful day or night. Settings don't get much more romantic than this. Service was attentive and the food quality as well as the preparation was excellent. Only low point is that the menu is uninspired and that the Czech still don't know how to make red wine. but let me get over myself and just say go there and enjoy the setting, the moment and know that it is a meal you will not easily forget.

Zohar M.

Very nice place to dine and view the valtava river and karluv most. A little bit expensive but still a wonderfull view. The cheese salad was very good and the green pea soup was excellent. Go there for the view and the soup on a cold day.

Fish and chips meal
Kellie M.

The view, the service and the food all were great. Compared to the grumpy waiters we've have throughout our trip, Phillip was an absolute delight. But only giving four stars because the portions are disproportionate to the very high prices. We thought the pork dumplings were pricey (albeit yummy). Then came my husband's main dish of fish and chips. Although he said it was delicious, they could have added another piece of fish for the $25 price tag. It was our splurge meal on this trip and probably a one-time visit to this restaurant.

Kamran N.

I m having lunch with my friends.beautiful place very tasty food. The view of the bridge is awesome.

Nela S.

A great, stylish restaurant with amazing views of the river, top-level service and delicious meals. Their wine list is also exquisite and even though I do not like burgers in general, in this restaurant even burgers turn into a fine-dining meal. What is great about Hergetova Cihelna is the fact that it is popular also among locals, which proves that the place is definitely worth a visit.

Salmon with potato chive puree
Christine G.

Incredible food, freshest ingredients, beautiful views of the Charles bridge outdoor seating and spectacular service (Thanks Roman). A perfect meal. Salmon with chive potatoe purée, white asparagus with bacon crumbs and hollandaise sauce. Just perfectly done.

Sunset times
Martin Q.

The restaurant itself worth at least 4.5 star, for its delicious food and location. The other half star is for their services. It located in "small town" just off the Charles bridge, you want to have dinner there after 19:00 for the beautiful sunset projects on the bridge and other buildings, until 21:30. We ordered their salmon, burger, and chicken wok. The burger is recommended, it fills with a juicy, nice cooked beef fillet. At last, book a table at least one day in advanced! Enjoy!

FOOD The pork…read moreshoulder is massive, absolutely massive. It's also incredibly juice, and they skin tastes wonderful. I cannot stress this enough, the dish was great! The beer goulash on the other hand was interesting and hearty. I wouldn't classify it as wonderful, but decent, with sizable chunks of meat in there. Overall, the food was good, and worth the visit. RESTAURANT As is typical in Prague, water is expensive, and often more expensive that sodas or alcohols. I got a chuckle out of seeing things like whiskey being the same price as water. We got two ciders, which were absolutely delicious. The service was also friendly, which was nice. The decor is interesting, and the seating quite comfortably spaced out. ADVICE One thing - if you plan on using your credit card, I do recommend that you tell them to use the local currency, CZK, when charging the card. I'm not sure why they decided to go with USD without asking me, as it literally offers zero benefits to a foreigner, and all the negatives. For those wondering, if you have a card that doesn't waive foreign transaction fees, using USD doesn't prevent your card from charging the fees. The fee is for foreign transactions, not foreign currency. If you have a card that waives those fees, you're obviously losing out by charging to USD, as the exchange rate is awful.

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!

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.
