Mistral Cafe is a nice modern eatery in the Jewish Quarter of Prague. It's very close to the synagogues and Old Town Square, which makes it a great option if you're sightseeing. I visited twice in the last month -- for lunch with a party of four and as my final dinner in Prague the night before my roommate and I flew back to the States. [Sniff. Too soon.] My first meal was just okay. I ordered a flat white, sparkling water, a detox smoothie, pumpkin soup, and a caesar salad. My coffee was alright but the detox smoothie stole the show. I'd dare say that smoothie was way better than even the soup! Other friends really love their soup but I found it too thin and heavy on the ginger. The salad dressing was too fishy for me. But! I gave them a second try and am so glad I did. For dinner, I ordered the pasta carbonara. It was so good, I'd have to say it was better than any carbonara I've ever had in Italy! I'd highly recommend it. I also had their mulled cider, which was nice on a cold night after wandering the Christmas markets. Despite some hiccups, I'd have to say I am a fan of Mistral Cafe. It's a quality spot!
A really classy cafe recommended by a local. Great ambiance and pretty good, inexpensive food. My friend ordered the Tafelspitz, which is slow cooked beef with mashed potatoes. The beef was kind of dry and tough to eat. The mashed potatoes were really creamy and delicious! I ordered the Grilled Salmon with baked potatoes and sautéed spinach. It's simple, but was still really good. The salmon and potatoes were cooked to perfection. The spinach was an addition to the meal and I only got it because they highly recommended it. It was too salty. *It's a non-smoking restaurant! :)
We were surprised when they asked us if we had a reservation as this seemed like just another small cafe on a city street. They were able to seat us and we're glad they did. The service was good. But the double fried egg with avocado sandwich on a homemade bun was to die for. The coffee and hot chocolate were very good too. Obviously this place is worth making a reservation for!
The only reason I can't give this a 5 star review was just because the eggs in the Benedict were cooked hard, and I'm not sure if that's a cultural difference or not. A Benedict usually has a very nice medium egg so that the yolk mingles with the hollandaise sauce. It's a much different experience when the yolk is sold. The house made cream cheese spread with salmon was absolutely incredible. I'd eat everyday if I could. Our server was wonderful. I felt bad because my boyfriend and I hade our luggage with us, but the server gave us a spot by the window that had a perfect nook to set our luggage so we weren't in anyone's way. Also I haven't seen a bad bathroom so far in Europe but this one was by far the cleanest one I've seen
This is one of the more expensive cafés in Prague. The interior is beautifully decorated. The ambiance and service were great. Unfortunately the food was lackluster. We got sparkling water, tomato soup, salmon cream cheese toast, and strawberry custard cake. The soup was much too salty, salmon cream cheese toast was fresh but nothing special, the cake's bottom crust was raw.
If you find yourself in Old Town and want to avoid the tourist traps, this is the place to go. Peaceful environment, lovely bright and modern decor, and quality food at good prices. I went for lunch on a Friday and had the spinach risotto and a glass of Frankovka.
I'm going to make a short and simple review with focusing on the key factors: 1. The interiour design is great and the place is comfortable (it is better in the area at the back than at the front) 2. The food is quality and delicious, and the prices are not cheap but affordable (example, I paid 170 for amazing lasagne, big portion almost for two people) 3. The staff is very polite, constantly asking you whether the meal is ok, whether you would like something else, - but they are not annoying. All in all, a good restaurant.
Excellent lunch spot. I had the fried chicken with mashed potatoes and my husband had the fish chips. Both were light and airy and not super greasy. Great portions for the price as well. Loved the decor and bright fresh energy inside. Great spot to stop by to fill your belly before the next adventure. Only caution is that if you sit in a seat by the door, you'll get a breeze which is nice, however prepare yourself to smell the cigarette smoke from people smoking outside.
Amazing food at a reasonable price. We ordered pumpkin soup, tofu curry with rice, glass of wine, beer, bread, espresso, and fondant with coconut ice cream all for $30 usd/ 645 kr. Everything was great and the staff was very kind.
Definitely a place to try, being not too expensive and serving up great tasting dishes (although I was here for brunch and not for breakfast). The ambience is nice and elegant, and a little on the cozy side as well, we got a pumpkin soup, beef tenderloin which was oh so tender, roast chicken which as atop a milky and silky layer of mashed potatoes, and also a carbonara dish which had really nice thick bacon bits unlike the usual which has toasted sometimes burnt bacon. The bacon itself seems to be home made as well and a generous amount of parmesan lined the carbonara. And since it was Easter weekend, I was also given a chocolate egg which made my day all the more better considering I love chocolate.
Loved it. We came here for a quick lunch and were very impressed. The pumpkin soup was great and a must try. This quaint little cafe is located in Prague's Jewish quarter, just a short walk from the old town square. Very happy we came here.

Great place for brunch! We ordered the open-faced chicken sandwich, the ham and cheese sandwich, the blueberry pancakes, and the pumpkin soup. All were delicious!! Service was also great. Make sure to make reservations on the weekends. read more
Stopped in for a quick lunch with the friends while touring around the Old town area. Cute hipster cafe with a handful of outside tables, a pretty spacious minimalistic dining room which extends to a lovely smaller foliage-covered room towards the back - this section was a little more intimate. The cafe offers breakfast, and the lunch menu changes daily - a combination of classic Czech and modern European dishes. I ordered a mimosa and risotto - two of my fave foodie things. Alas, I was disappointed with both. Apart from my waitress looking very confused when I ordered it (it's on the menu), the juice in the mimosa had an odd taste and there wasn't enough Prosecco. The risotto didn't look like any risotto I had seen before. It had a dark brown coloring and again the flavors were odd. To note: they have an extensive wine, cocktail, and dessert menu. And also a wide selection of hot beverages. With all the other amazing food choices around, I'd probably skip this one in the future. read more

Pros: food was good and fresh (omelette and bulgar salad). Vegetarian safe items. English menu. Free wifi. Prices good. Spacious and comfortable seating. Fresh healthy juices. Cons: server was cold and had no interest in clarifying whether a menu item had dairy or not. She simply said "I don't know" and proceeded to let me order another dish that also ended up having a bunch of cheese. (and really I don't believe it was a language barrier issue). Slow service and no quality check. read more

We went here for a late (2pm) breakfast. Breakfast was only served until 12pm though. So we got french toast with chicken, egg and bacon. It was delicious. According to the staff everything is prepared freshly. So you have to wait a little longer than you might be used to. But it is absolutely worth it. Prices are ok too. read more
