On our last night in Prague, we hadn't had the best Czech food but I wanted to give it one last chance, so we came here. Oh my god. The best decision I could have made. This meal is in my top 3 out of six different European countries. My boyfriend and I both got the beef roast with green beans and chips. The meat was so perfectly seasoned, the green beans were to die for and the potatoes were a perfect addition to dip into the sauce from the steak. I'm telling you... I would come back to Prague JUST for that steak. I wish we would have found this place sooner in our stay so I could have had it again. The service was friendly, and I felt very welcome in the restaurant. read more

RE: BAD SERVICE + TIPPING 101 Came across this place through "Honest Guide" YouTube recommendation on traditional Czech food. The dinner that we had cost us 697 ckz; we had 2 main to share and dessert (Duck with gnocchi, Chicken breast schnitzel and apple strudel 4 drinks) The only thing I can comment about the food was the duck was slightly dry compared to other restaurants we've tried and apple strudel was slightly disappointing, couldn't fathom why is it paired with whip cream instead of ice cream but overall it was alright since those were their speciality dishes and so happen they ran out of Pork Knee. But my family and I was SO UNHAPPY with their service. It happened at the end when we paid, we were aware that tipping is common thing here. So, we've paid 700 ckz (note that we didn't have much changes but big note) the waiter than looked at us like bunch of thieves. He replied to us harshly "Only 3 ckz for tips? food was nice, service was nice, no?" We were literally stunned when he spoke to us that way and felt like we were corned which didn't give us a chance to digest the situation. We said to him that we don't have small change and we are still paying for it, its not like we weren't paying exact amount. He didn't need to speak to us in a harsh tone or question us on how much we should tip him. Anyways, 200 ckz was what we had so we gave him YET he was still bickering to his colleague about it. Customer service here is SHIT! Would I come back here: ABSOLUTELY NOT, especially with that waiter crappy attitude. But just be prepared to have small change on you when you are paying if not you'll be cornered like a criminal. read more

Very nice place with traditional food, you can't leave Prague without trying this!!!! We had the goulash soup (gnummy in the bread!!!) and the duck leg... simply delicious!!!! If I'd be back to Prague, for sure I will come here agin! read more

I am not one to judge what authentic Czech cuisine is and I shouldn't be. While I do believe you can learn what a food should taste like it is your experiences during your upbringing that develops your judgement of good food (otherwise, known as food that you like).This is my perspective of Mlejnice and so it's true for Czech cuisine in general. While I am sure there are many that would rave about thy cuisine and would gladly eat this over tomahawk steaks, bacon and butter fried chicken any day. No...not me. I prefer the latter. This feels as authentic as it gets for a tourist town. A giant, deep fried, lardy knee of a hog. With it's crispy crackling and that intoxicating porky lardy aroma, it is heaven for just about the first 5 bites or so. After that it is just a struggle to stomach all that fat. Yes, as a bacon lover I must confess even I was overwhelmed by the fattiness and bacony aroma; I digress. Other than the overwhelming porkiness there really isn't a whole lot of flavours or herbs. It's just plain old fried fatty pork. The pierogies and sauerkraut are less daunting but just as bland in flavour profile. The deep fried sauerkraut might just be the only highlight of the meal aside from the beer as usual. All in all I would still recommend this place for the tourist in you. It does seem unpretentiously authentic and the portions are insanely large. While the cost of your health may take a huge hit after devouring that hog's knee, you can at least take comfort in knowing that your wallet will be spared. read more

Amazingly good food with such reasonable price. My husband had the pork knee roasted in beer. It was so tender on the inside and crunchy on the outside. My spicy beef roast was perfectly cooked and the taste was impeccable. Highly recommend this place when in Old Town Prague. read more

This was my wife's and my best meal in the Czech Republic. I had the pork knee, which was gigantic and fantastic- one of the few meals in Europe that bested me. My wife likened their flavor to Mexican carnitas. She had the pork schnitzel, which was delicious as well. We shared one of their potato sides since the entrees we ordered did not come with any- it was great, but it beat us as well. Great food, and relatively inexpensive considering it's location nearby Old Town Square. Do it! read more

I arrived during afternoon, looking forward to eating authentic Czech food. I asked a waitress if any tables were available or would soon be. Her reply was, and I quote. "No, go away." Needless to say any restaurant which hires staff as unprofessional as this necessarily cannot be doing many other things right. Food might be good, but service is plain rotten. read more

We loved the beef goulash. It was delicious. Salad with feta was fresh and tasty. Gnocchi was nothing to write home about. Actually the gnocchi was called 'potatoes' on the menu. I guess it was the 'Czech way' but the waitress literally ignored us for 15 mins while we were standing at the door. Decor is rustic I would say. It's not fancy but you will get a hearty feed so worth it Very reasonably priced. Cost us about 600 CZK for two people including a coke and beer. Enjoy! read more

This place was amazing! i found it through yelp when i was staying in prague, it was a bit of a commute from where i was staying but this place is centrally located and very close to the charles bridge. Their food was really good, i didnt try their beer but my friends who did get the pilsner thats advertised every where said it was so-so. Their spinach is AMAZING! i havent had such good spinach since peter luger, and i dont even like spinach so for me to say its good..must tell you something! I had the beef goulash and it was sooo good, it was like beef stew in a bread bowl.. i would highly recommend it! Their service was super friendly and the decor looks like the inside of a old century tavern. read more

The goulash! Cozy place. Poor service. First, I will be back for the goulash! The best goulash I've had in a bread bowl yet. (Had quite a few by now) Second, love the decor, really rustic and cabin looking. Can imagine what it willl look like with snow! Third, hate to dull the review with poor service. Then again, Czech might not be known for service. Will be back for the goulash! read more

As with most establishments in Prague, this one was cheap. Looking like a hole in the wall, the restaurant actually offers many seats inside, so the wait is not long. The goulash comes in a rye bread bowl, which you don't have to eat if you're disinclined. I do recommend it though, since the goulash itself is thick, meaty, and feeling. Additionally, the spicy sausage with potato salad and puréed horseradish and Dijon mustard was delicious, enough to split among two. Around the restaurant, various young slim Asian women were eating l chunks of shoulder, knee, and other large joints of cattle. I was intimidated, but it all looked delicious, and they looked happy. read more

Had the perfect, traditional dinner last night. The atmosphere is fun, the service is friendly and professional, just a nice start in Prague. Our food was delicious, started with big cold beers, goat cheese salad, with nice dressing and lettuces. Our entrees were really good, I had the duck with a blueberry sauce, perfectly prepared. My husband had medium/rare beef in a delicious gravy. The meal was so good. Try this restaurant out. read more

Yeah, like most things in the old city, it's overpriced and geared towards tourists, not locals, but the food was solid, the service was good and friendly, which is a rarity here, and the price wasn't too bad for someone used to US prices. It's a cool little rustic-looking place down a funky small pedestrian street with a good vibe and good food. Recommended. read more

Really great food and service in an adorable setting. My boyfriend and I visited their first location and was told there would be an hour wait, however the server offered to call the other location and reserve us a table. He gave us a map and we made the brief 5 minute walk to the second location. We were seated immediately. I had the goulash and my boyfriend had the ribs. We shared a grilled sausage. All three were totally dope, highly recommend the goulash. Service was super friendly and the waiter provided great recommendations. read more

So, a surprising find with this one. Being located just a few steps from Old Town Square, I set my expectations low even though the reviews on multiple review sites were in the exceptional category. First, the entire restaurant is non-smoking. HOORAY. Second, there is limited seating, perhaps only about a dozen tables, so reservations are highly recommended. We popped in on a Saturday (during the off-season) around noon and there were two other tables seated but within a half an hour, all tables were taken and there were people waiting for a table. Third, service is hit-or miss. Our drink order was taken rather quickly after being seated. Our drinks arrived rather quickly after we ordered. Our food, however, took approximately 45 minutes to arrive after we ordered. The hubby blames this on the kitchen not being ready for the lunch rush but I don't agree. Tables who were seated 20 minutes after we ordered were served their food before us. All this said, I do, to some extent, expect this type of service in Europe. I mean, this isn't the US of A where servers depend on tips to make a decent wage. Service aside, the food was excellent. The goulash (served in a bread bowl) was unlike any goulash I had eaten in Prague before. It was more of a Hungarian goulash. It was spicy and thick. The bread bowl was also delicious. It had sort of sweet taste to it. something I would not have enjoyed if eaten by itself but rather enjoyed with the spicy goulash. The hubby ordered the pork knee (aka knuckle) and it was large enough to feed two hungry adults (with an accompanying side of potatoes or bread or something). I do have to note that he said that it was not the best pork knuckle he's had before but said that it was still quite tasty. Overall, a really good (and unexpected) meal in the heart of Old Town Prague. read more

This is just on a side street off the main square; quite hard to find so make sure you bring a detailed map! Inside, its a small pub/bar style with wooden tables, and its definitely caters for tourists, but its one of the best value Czech restaurants we came across in Prague. We fully recommend the pork knuckle, which is a full 1kg and good to share between two or three, and only costs 230 CZK! We also ordered some veggie sides, with the spinach being particularly noteworthy. Food came quickly and the place is relatively clean. However, the service could be improved on as we hardly saw a smile from the waiter! The London Insider http://www.london-insider.co.uk/ read more

My dad and hubby got the ginormous beef goulash in a bread bowl. It was really delicious and a very generous portion! Beware, it is really salty but I didn't start noticing that until I got to the bottom of the bowl. My aunt and I both got the roast duck. Again, it was a very generous portion. The duck itself was tasty and very tender. The peach juice tasted like it came from a fresh peach which was nice! It comes in a tiny bottle of course. I would definitely recommend this place! Best goulash in Prague! read more

Mlejnice is in one of the small hidden alleys close to the Astronomical clock. It was a very cold and rainy evening so I was craving for some hot soup. The Beer Goulash sounded like a great choice and in one bite, I knew it was! Tender chunks of beef in a deliciously thick and smooth goulash served in a bread bowl. The bread bowl itself had a nice and crunchy exterior. I kept nibbling away at the bread bowl and couldn't decide if I liked the bread better than the goulash but at the end, I decided that the bread bowl was a close second to the goulash. The ambiance is best described as cozy with an interesting array of decorations hanging from the ceiling and walls. It was a very satisfying meal and a great way to end my last evening in Old Town Prague. read more

As someone in this review-section pointed out, we sought a place to give our tourist-stomach a go. Plus points for the nice waitresses and the cosy atmosphere. Although I'm not certain if all those farmer-objects fit the place, they did give you that 'authentic' feels. Sadly the food wasn't as good as we expected. As a starter we had deep fried onion rings. These were actually pretty nice: it only was a shame that we only ate half of it when the maincourses arrived. For my partner this was de spareribs (with a potato in foil) and for me duck in blueberry sauce. The meat was a bit too dry to our taste, and although it was accompanied with sauce (the ribs as well as the duck) the overall flavour should have been stronger. I also ordered a side dish salad: some chopped fresh tomatoes, cucumber, mais and slaw. Nothing bad about it, but special neither. I guess that as a vegetable-lover I shouldn't be eating in a Czech restaurant, but when the meat also isn't good, you won't convince me. Because it was my only Czech-food restaurant experience, I give it a go. Maybe other dishes were better, and the place (with backyard) was pretty nice. read more

Wonderful place with great Czech food slightly off the beaten path. We ordered the gnocchi in cream sauce (pillowy and delicious), a roast chicken entree and the roast duck with apple and calvados. While the duck was slightly overcooked for me, the apple sauce was great and had a silky finish. We also shared a pork knuckle -- deliciously moist inside with a nicely crisped skin. It was also seasoned very well. The beer selection highlighted the local Pilsner Urquell but they also had a bunch of other beverages to choose from (mulled wine, spirits, etc...) The waitstaff were patient and nice and answered any questions we had about the menu. Overall, a solid choice for a well-priced and delicious dinner! read more

Nestled in a little alleyway just off Old Town, Mlejnice offers a cozy atmosphere to enjoy local treats. The place is usually packed so I suggest making a reservation or you could be waiting quite a while for a seat. The portions are ample and would do nicely to share. I made the pleasant mistake (although I paid for it later) of ordering the ribs for myself. I don't think many people do this because the waiter sort of gave me a look when I commenced to Flintstone-style, greasy-handed, sauce-all-over-the-face chowing down on those bad boys. In the middle of the epic feast, the waiter brought over a whole roll of paper towels just for me. Not my most civilized moment, but those ribs were awesome. Definitely give this place a try if you're ever in Prague. read more

This is by far one of my favorite restaurants in Prague! I lived in Prague for a couple of months and can't even remember the number of times I enjoyed this place's fabulous dishes. Every dish is tasty and incredibly flavorful - not to mention that they have the best pilsner in town (ahem Pilsner Urquell). You really can't go wrong here, especially since it is filled with locals and some lucky tourists. I only give this spot 4 stars due to the inconsistent service - sometimes the food is slow or the waiters are unpleasant. However, everything usually works out great for both my belly and friends that tag along with me here. Definitely a spot that you do not want to pass up on! read more

Didn't have a reservation, but we were seated right away around 7pm ish. The restaurant got busier as the night got later. The food was great and reasonable prices. We had the chicken breast and the beef goulash. For those that love beef, get the goulash. My friend loved it. The chicken was tasty as well. See the pics! read more

Amazing meals ... Beef steak, green beans and corn on the cob (for DD, 8yrs old,) goulash in bread bowl and salad for me and OMG FANTASTIC beef steak w mushrooms cooked to perfection and a side of gnocchi w cheese and bacon, plus 2 rounds of drinks all for a grand total of $70. Service was great even though they were very busy. Server made solid recommendations on which cuts to order. Would absolutely recommend and if they weren't booked solid through the remainder of our visit we'd return. Perfection in Prague. read more

Ok...I gave a review for a vegetarian restaurant in Prague earlier and now a full on meat place. I am not a vegetarian, my husband is, but I enjoy a good veggie meal as well. So on we go with the meat review. This place is straight out of the old world Europe pub. Low ceiling, low light, small tables, and grumpy wait staff. I got it all in one night. I came here for one of those famous pig knuckles Prague is so famously known for. Armed with Rick Steve's tour book, I found this place the last night of our Prague trip. The experience did not fail me. My port knuckle was tender and the meat just falls off the bone. MMM.MMMM. good. They had other delicious offerings, but I can't eat them all so if you have more time than I did in Prague, don't miss this delicious hole in the wall. It's that good. read more

Small and cosy restaurant, placed really close to old town square. Stuff was friendly and spoke english well. Menu was in english too. we went for a very nice salad with roasted potatoes, croutons, various vegetables and a yogurt sauce. we also ordered a plate with roasted potatoes, bacon and cheese which I totally recommend. for main dishes we had bacon wrapped beef stuffed with onion and garlic and ribs. they were both very good. the best dishes though, was the salad and the potatoes plate. prices were quite normal i think. read more

Visited in the end December between the holidays, every venue is pretty packed and staff is running on E. Hence the lack of patience in the staff here. Staff was somewhat accommodating once we sympathized with the chaos and business of the restaurant. Your best bet is to go in and make a reservation ahead of time thanks to trip advisor blowing the place up. Don't be a sucker for the traditional interior decoration. The quality of the meal was average in terms of traditional Czech food. I think the place is hyped by a few overzealous reviews. Many people buy into the atmosphere (which you can find in a lot of places) and not the quality of service and food. Overall not bad but nothing I'd highly recommend to anyone who Id want to impress. read more
