    This was one of our best meals in Prague! We were delightfully surprised by how good it was, especially based on the layout and the price. We had to get some direction when we first got there because it was so crowded. Make sure to get a ticket before you order anything! One of the best parts is that you can order as little or as much as you'd like- so it's perfect for any meal and any time of day. We ordered the tri tip and the beef neck- neither of which we'd eaten before. The beef neck was so delicious and tender! The tri tip was super good too, but I'll be talking about that beef neck for a while. The potato pancake was alright- we had better in Prague but you needed it to soak up the juices! Seating is definitely a free for all. There's plenty of tables and chairs and some standing room in the middle. We were also shocked at how inexpensive it was! Absolutely a must eat spot in Prague!

    Good tartar. You can skip the carpaccio, it's chewy and the sauce is off. The system could be confusing for first timer. You come in and take a card, order food and they mark your cards, pay at the entrance when you leave.

    Potato pancakes

    We came at around 4pm to beat the rush. The tables were all partially full. The lady who does the serving isn't particularly nice or helpful but she gets the job done fast and organized. We got the potato pancakes, carpaccio and beef tartare. We obviously had to get a pilsner as well. The potato pancake was a huge letdown and we couldn't finish all of it. It was soggy and didn't have much potato flavour. It tasted kind of like a sponge. But a very salty sponge. It goes down well with the beer. The beef carpaccio is a MUST GET. It's super flavourful, they slice it there so it's fresh. They put a good amount of sauce and salt on top but it still manages to taste really good. The beef tartare got a bit stuck in my teeth but it was also good. There were bits of onion and oil in it. The bread went well with it. Another must get. Overall food was not expensive. You don't come here for the service but for the atmosphere and the drinking and of course the food. Get the beef tartare and carpaccio

    Absolutely stunning and delicious carpaccio

    This was one of the restaurants that I was the most excited to visit and Kantyna did not disappoint. We were there very early afternoon and were blessed with a table. I ordered the beef carpaccio, the potato pancakes and the brisket. The rye bread with the carpaccio was divine and I really enjoyed the rye flavor in the potato pancakes. My husband and I both enjoyed the brisket. The atmosphere is pretty decent and it appears that a lot of locals enjoy the restaurant too. Of course, we both had pilsners with our meal. Next time, I am in Prague, I will come back and get more MEAT!!!!

    This a butcher with an attached restaurant. This is a grown up version of a cafeteria. A meat lover's paradise. You have two options. Order from pre-made selections or go to the butcher counter and choose a cut for them to cook for you. I thought I wanted a steak to order, but the tri tip and tartare looked great. It did not disappoint. Tri tip is a tough cut, but they cooked it medium rare with a sprinkle of crystal salt. I liked both of my meat selections with a side of grilled veggies and potatoe pancakes. The tartare had a nice chew and chopped perfectly. The only thing I wanted was some pickles and some at component. However, I finished everything. The pancakes were slightly greasy and would probably taste better if it was made to order. Logistics, you get a card upon entering. You either place an order (butcher counter) or some made to order items such as the tartare. Drinks are from a separate counter. Self-seating. Large seating area but a very popular spot. Expect to wait on line but it moves quickly. About five minutes from the Mucha museum.

    Clean and inviting.

    Solid no frills choice! This is a locals place. No frills self service makes it a very efficient stop but with good home-style comfort food very welcome on chilly Fall days. They offer various types and styles of meat, vegetables and starch. They also serve beer, of course. It is cafeteria style so you pick your choices and are charged by quantity. Bills can be very reasonable but be mindful of how much you ask for as the price can escalate quickly if you load up on meat. The interior is clean and light with lots of arched ceilings. This is a perfect place for a casual midday stop with friends to share a meal and get on to going where you were going.

    Really chill place to grab a beer and have lots of meat. We weren't sure what was going on at first but you get a card at the entrance and they'll mark what you order on there for payment at the end. Seating was on a first come, first serve basis. It gets quite busy during dinner time so come early if you don't want to wait around for a table.

    Kantyna is a rowdy self-service beer hall and cafeteria with a focus on meat dishes (they even have a butcher's counter out front). They offer a selection of prepared dishes, side dishes, and a steam table of meats carved to order and sold by weight. One of the most popular plates here is the Steak Tartare, made of super fresh minced beef mixed with garlic, juniper berries, and other spices, and served with grilled bread on the side. The tartare was super fresh and had a creamy texture, and we also got sides of pickled vegetables (cabbage, onions, cucumber, carrots, radishes) and coleslaw (shredded carrots/cabbage in a creamy dressing) to go along. You could help yourself to endless slices of country bread at the counter, and the atmosphere was fun and loud!

    Chuck beef and potato pancake

    During a long day of walking we needed a little something to eat and drink...this place was on our list of places to try and we accidentally were super close. All I can say is I wish we were hungrier cuz based on what we tried I want to try everything. We had a potato pancake and chuck beef that was so tender it was hard to pick to with a fork. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. This place is a must!

    This place was awesome. A must try when visiting Prague. We got to try this place during a food tour in Prague. The items that we got to try were beef sausage, bread, mustard, pulled beef, grilled vegetable, potato pancake "bramborák", and camping salad. Everything was awesome. The staff was even great and tried very hard to make sure they communicated clearly to us. We enjoyed this place so much that we came back two days later for dinner.

    I got the pork belly, which was rich and had crispy skin. The meat was well-seasoned, and tasted higher quality than most others I've tasted. I also got a side of vegetables, which were slightly oily but cooked all the way through. The meal was slightly pricey (this plate had a small piece of meat and cost $10 USD) but I think the quality definitely stands out.

    Awesome. Steak, burger, sausage, veggies for 36 usd. I love how they make their burgers here. Walk in, find a table, and then order at the counters. They bring the food to you, then pay at the front area.

    Food innit

    No fancy analogies just slap the person next to you and for the love god get the steak tartare. The rest is up to you.

    Carpaccio. Soooo good!! The sauce is amazing.

    We only tried a few items, the roast pork, bone marrow, cucumber salad and carpaccio, and of course the beer.

    Wow this place is busy around dinner time, but it turns over pretty quick! If you're looking for a…read morequiet intimate meal for two, this is most certainly not the place to go. If you are looking for a very lively place that seats about thirteen hundred guests per day and has twelve tanks of beer, and the beer hall vibe then this spot is most certainly for you. Close to the Old Town square it is not at all touristy, the service is good and the prices are very fair for what you get. K ordered the Goulash, and I had the Chicken Schnitzel along with a beetroot salad to share. The food was plentiful and very good, especially the goulash gravy which was a deep colour that had amazing flavour. The schnitzel was not as big as the plate, but I couldn't finish it. K had a glass of wine and I a beer for about $64 CDN, which is good in Prague. Our only quibble was that the beetroot salad turned into a cabbage salad with horseradish. It was also good, but not what we ordered. We would most certainly come back and endure the half hour wait to experience and enjoy what is a somewhat unique European offering.

    This restaurant comes highly recommended from all sorts of sources so we were excited to try it…read more The moment you enter the building, you feel like you just time warped back to the 1940's. It has a cafeteria look and feel to it as the space is long and slender with wooden tables lining the one side and a few tables lining the other. It is devoid of color and sparsely decorated so it adds to this depressing feeling. Our server was ambivalent toward us and didn't visit us after we got our food. We had to watch for him to run by to stop him for our bill. This didn't give very welcoming vibes. The food was not exceptional. It was good and filling but I could not wrap my head around what everyone raved about. Perhaps we went in with too high of expectations but I've checked it off the list and will opt for other places to try in the future.
