Came here due to high reviews, but lack of service and attitude spoil the experience. I only saw two waiters this evening and they were not busy when we arrived at 5. The first waiter (tall and oh his early 30s) came to take our order, but was not helpful with suggestions nor provided much responses. His attitude is "just tell me what you want". The second waiter served us our foods was friendlier. No wifi, so I couldn't search for Yelpers' recommendations. Ended up with onion soups (for the cold 38 degrees weather) pork ribs and side dish of potato "chips". Took about 30 minutes before ribs came. While waiting, no one came by to give any status; which felt like the longest and most unappreciated feeling for being there. When the bill came, the second waiter stated we can provide a 10% tip if we want to. It seemed reasonable. We walked pass the first waiter as we leave and he did not even greet us. Overall, food was good... just not the experience. read more

Get away from the tourist traps the line the square in Old Town and experience some authentic Czech cuisine. The prices here are far more reasonable then the places found in the more central part of Old Town, a half liter of Urquell Pilsner was half the price of the more touristy places. They have a wide selection of meat dishes, I got the braided Pork tenderloin in a cheese and garlic sauce, it was amazing. My wife had one of the potato dishes which was similarly excellent. The dishes are a la crate so you may want to grab a side. Bring cash as they do not accept credit cards. read more

Highly recommend this restaurant if you're looking for traditional bohemian cuisine! Very quaint place. Excellent service with great traditional Czech cuisine. I had the duck in blueberry sauce and I was entirely satisfied. The soup was so flavorful and the bread was toasty. Atmosphere is neat and cozy and has a local feel to it. read more

MEAT!!! I don't think you can go wrong with any choice here. All I can say is Czech food is really good. This place's selections are mostly all very hearty and filling with a great value (if you are calculating from Canadian or American currency). The flavour is very full and will fill your taste palate with satisfaction. However, the only thing thats missing for me to give a five star review is that, towards the end of the meal, I was struggling to finish. It didn't made me crave to savour every bite, but more like I had more than enough and I need a break. Given what I wrote, this place is still really good and worth the visit. If you are a meat eater and loves strong flavour food, then this place is a must visit for you! read more

One of my favorite restaurants ever. Their pork knee and beef goulash are delicious and inexpensive. I personally like the goulash to come with a soft in toasted bread and it was great. In my short one night stay at Prague, I came here twice, for dinner and lunch. read more

What a find! Decided to come here with a guy I met from the walking tour that just so happened to work for yelp and moving to NYC! Small world. We came here for dinner and of course he let me order. This is how all my meals with friends should be! I ordered for us the goulash and duck leg. It was so good! You must order this if you come here. The soup was so flavorful and the bread was toasty. We finished the dishes clean. I only had duck once and wasn't a fan but this was another story. Both dishes are a Czech traditional food but if you can only order one, order the goulash and I promise you won't regret it. Customer service was also top notch and the restaurant ambiance was very traditional. A local came shortly after and agreed about the quality of the food. Once again, thanks yelp for a great find! read more

Mlejnice - Delicious meal at Mlejnice - Czech Near Me - Prague, Puerto Rico

I really don't get it. I waited about 30 minutes for a table (and yes, like reviewers mention, the only two servers in this place were not communicative nor helpful and only began dealing with the crowd of people when the line forming grew out the door and became cumbersome to navigate as others walked by. Though at the same time, there were only two servers, so not sure if others would have handled the same situation differently). As for the food, it is overpriced for what it is. I probably didn't order the "right thing" but thought my meal was really mediocre on so many levels and I ordered simple, hard to screw up things. I ordered a soup (had sausage, was overly greasy), a main entree (a tasteless chicken breast with overcooked vegetables), and what they called "baked potatoes" with leeks and mushrooms and bacon. As an American, I pictured a stuffed whole baked potato, but in reality it was served more like "home-fries" with chunks of roasted potatoes. Overall, still pretty bland despite the fillings. It was a LOT of food, but every single dish I was served I could have cooked myself and they would have been more interesting (for example, I would have served the plain chicken breast with a sauce), and better executed (those over-steamed veggies had no business on the plate). Also, while my service was brisk and from the time I sat down to the time I left, I probably spent no longer than 45 minutes in total, I spent a majority of that time just waiting for my bill. I had even gotten a to-go box which indicates: "I'm ready to pay" and told the server to bring the check whenever he got a chance. They were busy, but he did have plenty of chances and glanced over at my table several times. Maybe it was just a weird communication issue due to language barrier? Unsure. Anyway, what sealed this review's coffin is as I was about to leave, I watched the chef drop his tongs on the floor while flipping a piece of meat. He picked them back up and promptly kept flipping. Keep looking, Prague. This isn't it. read more

Pork Knee is a must and amazing. Amazing! Pilsner is really good. Atmosphere and close vicinity to old town. This place is a must if you are in the area. I usually don't leave reviews and I use Yelp often and would like others to experience this place. read more

Stopped by here on a Tuesday night and was able to get a table for 2 at 7 without a reservation. I had the pork knuckle and it was delicious and massive!! I highly recommend sharing it among two people, I made the terrible mistake of trying to eat it myself and it was way too much meat! read more

Mlejnice is definitely 5 stars!! Sought out this restaurant after hearing many great reviews and was not disappointed! I heard great things about the pork knee so I ordered that, and I was pleased! As a side(or can be shared with the whole table), we got the rural potatoes. Delicious! For dessert I recommend the chocolate fondant. Great staff and atmosphere, and overall Mlejnice was definitely enjoyed! read more

Liked mostly all, just one caveat: they practically force you into leave tip which is mostly a USA thing.

The first stop we went to in Prague and absolutely worth it. All the way in the back of old quarter but always busy. We came on a Thursday night and had to wait for a table, but the wait was worth it. We ordered he pork knee and roasted duck with gnocchi. The flavor was insane- the duck flavor was explosive and the skin on the pork knee was wonderfully rendered. Highly recommend you check this shop out if you have the time. Great quality and excellent service. All staff speak English and there's also an English menu available. read more

When you go abroad, people often tell you to go see the Eiffel Tower or the Taj Mahal, or whatever else seems like a good idea to see. While there is some merit to that, there is nothing like a great meal, and Mlejnice did not disappoint at all. My friend and I came here in the mid afternoon for a late lunch, and boy were we in for a treat. It wasn't a busy hour so most of the tables seemed open. We sat out in the back patio (a great venue for beer drinking) and started off with local beer specialties. After the first one, we decided it would be a great idea to eat. There is something so heartwarming about Eastern European cuisine, with food battered in beer, and meat so good it'd make any vegetarian reconsider their life choices. My friend got the schnitzel, which he thoroughly enjoyed. I ordered the roasted pork knuckle, and let me tell you it was probably one of the best meals I have ever had. The skin was excellently crisp, and the fat was perfectly rendered. Each bite was pure heaven, and was washed down perfectly with the crisp beer we had. This can be enough for 2 people, or 1 really hungry tourist who's been walking all day. The horseradish was alright, not strong enough in my opinion, as was the the mustard, but overall this was an amazing meal that I wish I could have again. They don't have things like this in the States. The service was good, we didn't really ask for much other than beer. It helped that we came during an off hour too. read more

Located off of the square in Old Town near the astronomical clock tower a little hard to find you commit to go down as street and then an alley and sort of hidden away. Good service and good food certainly not something that any tourists are going to find on their own. read more

Ambiance is great. Food is amazing. Schnitzel is perfect. Spinach is delicious. Service is good

The food is decent and seems like a fair price but the service is terrible. Reservations recommended. An email confirmation is required. Do not expect to be greeted and do not expect to be politely accommodated should you show up assuming you have a reservation. We made this mistake and we're not able to get seated. No problem, plenty of other restaurants in town but we made a reservation for the next night because we saw the traditional Czech foods on Mjelnice's menu. Our order took an hour to arrive. Yes, an hour! Goulash is salty, pork tenderloin braid with garlic and cheese sauce is very dry. Happy not to return. Very BAD service, blah food. read more

Food is good but not amazing. Eaten here twice. Recommend going further into the inside restaurant as the interior is quite cute. At first glance when I at here seemed a bit of a dive, but as you progress further inside there is a quite cute and unexpected interior awaiting you. So please don't stop at the front. Luckily second time here we went further inside. The gnocchi was very good, the schnitzel not so much. Also wanted to add that the waitstaff is pretty amazing and very friendly so definitely worth visiting here for that. read more

THE BEST! Worth the wait. Pork knuckle is a must! Goulash was also amazing. Service was very friendly. Best restaurant we went to while traveling. read more

My god the beef goulash is good. I think it's one of the most popular dishes here as everyone around us was indulging. It's served in a fresh bread bowl. There are ample chunks of beef and the flavor was wonderful. The decor was really cute as well. All of the tables were made out of old sewing machine tables. The bartender was super friendly and was happy to serve us even though we arrived late. read more

Sometimes I give a restaurant five stars in my mind before I even sit down, and get disappointing when it lets me down. But on truly magical evenings, five stars pop into my mind the moment I walk in and stay there until after I write my review. Thank you, Mlejnice, for running the table start to finish. The ambiance was cozy without being claustrophobic. Its "garden level" location wraps itself around you and makes you feel like you could sit there for hours. The service was very English-friendly, and no more curt than the average Czech restaurant. And the food was absolutely incredible and shockingly inexpensive. I opted for a duck leg with potato dumplings and sauerkraut for less than $15 American, with a side of garlic bread for under two bucks. The baked brie to start was somewhere around a fiver. And everything tasted fantastic. Cooked perfectly, garnished without fuss, and in portions that seem tailored to your stomach. This is where you should go to get a taste of Prague if you only have one meal. read more

What cool and fabulous place. Very unique in atmosphere and the food proved to be good as well. I had the pork ribs and being from Texas I was skeptical. Well I shouldn't have been, they were good. My dad had the goulash and he couldn't stop talking about how good it was. This was our first place to eat and we were totally satisfied. Oh, and the price is great! Enjoy!! read more

The waiter was so rude that I literally stormed out of it. My wife was angry at me now. And our trip to Prague was totally ruined! It was a weekday. We went to the restaurant way before 6. It was half empty. I asked the waiter for a table of two. He just said no. No reservation, no seating. So I begged him, can we just wait for any table to free up? He said no. I asked him about the empty tables. He just said, they were all reserved. All the time, he said it in a rude way, no smile, no sign of sorry, no desire to help. Actually with a hint that "I can turn you down because I can"! So before you go, ask yourself, do you really want the food that much that you are willing to give up your dignity and happiness!!! read more

This place can be difficult to find as it's tucked away on one of the side streets coming off the old Square. If you're having trouble getting there I suggest walking to the astronomical clock, with your back towards the clock, enter the first alley (has an arch above it) the restaurant is towards the end on the left. Phew. Aren't you glad for Yelp? Prices here are very reasonable and there's a lot to go through on the menu. You'll see a lot of tourists digging into large pork knuckles but don't jump over the cliff with them! There are some gems on this menu that will make your Prague experience less cabbage and pork knuckle and much more authentic. Granted cabbage really makes a lot of appearances in this restaurant... Take your time with the menu. Our waiter was very patient and understanding and left us alone to sieve through all the items. In the end I ordered duck and my wife ordered steak while we shared some spicy sausage and cabbage as a starter. It turned out to be a surprisingly light meal after the previously heavy comfort food we'd become accustomed to. The food was decent value and very good quality. Service was friendly but a little slow at times. The bill was confusing as the tax wasn't broken down on the receipt so our waiter spent a lot of time explaining in detail how much each table's bill cost. One small complaint I have is that the carbonated soft drinks here are served out of large bottles kept behind the bar which inevitably go flat. I was sick of drinking beer by this point so ordered a coke that was disappointingly warm and flat. Perhaps that's a sign from some higher power telling me not to go to Prague and drink anything but beer? read more

Excellent Czech local fare! This place is well worth the walk and "off the beaten path " location. While close to old Town square, we had a little trouble finding it but wow, we fell in love with it. Great prices, cheap local Czech beer and friendly service. Tip was not included and they were honest with the bill. read more

Vibe: Very cozy and comfortable. Food: I ordered the duck breast and didn't really like it. It didn't really taste like duck and just had inedible bits of fat attached to it. Very strange. My bf's pork knee was great and enormous. The cabbage pancakes were really good. Large portions. Delicious grog. They had a large menu so it's possible I simply made a bad choice as far as the duck goes. They accept credit cards. They also have boxes so you can take food to go. Really friendly waiter. read more

I was a bit skeptical of this place because it seemed like not many Czech people eat here, but we ended up trying it anyway and we weren't disappointed. Whether locals go here or not, it was worth the visit. It's in an alley behind an Italian restaurant so you probably wouldn't be so likely to happen upon it unless you're looking for it. They do have another location because their restaurant has become so popular, so when this first location fills up, they send people onto the second one. So either be prepared to go to the other location or make a reservation. We were lucky enough to come in just as a table turned over though. THE FOOD: Pork Knee: this was an interesting dish that I probably never would have thought about eating. It is a huge portion and a lot of that is connective tissue that has been slowly cooked, so it falls apart. My boyfriend initially thought it was a layer of fat, but no! It's collagen. The meat itself is also very tender and pork-y tasting. Beer Goulash in a Bread Bowl: Definitely delicious. A great embodiment of this type of goulash with plenty of tender meat. Mushroom, Leek, Bacon Potatoes: the potatoes were just so so for me. I'm not a huge potato fan to begin with, but the cheese that was on top melted and coagulated in sort of a weird way and I could have used more mushrooms. Cabbage Soup: Satisfying and tangy. I don't think this is a must try, but if you're in the mood, you can't go wrong. Apple Strudel: Very good served with a nice vanilla ice cream, but I noticed they don't peel their apples. Overall, make your way here and you won't be disappointed. They have good food with a nice ambiance and prompt staff. read more

Definitely one of the best restaurants we went to Prague. This place is right by Old Town Square and in a slightly touristy area. However, both the food and the service are amazing, especially considering the price compared to similar restaurants near by. I would highly recommend coming here. Our server was extremely patient and did a great job explaining all the dishes to us. Please forgive me for not getting the traditional names of the dishes right. I can't remember them and have had a hard time trying to look them up. We ordered a pickled bell pepper appetizer with goat cheese. It was light and refreshing, perfect for a warm summer. For entrees, we each ordered a different meat dish. Mine was the roasted duck with apple - simply divine! We also ended up splitting a few side-dishes. The croquettes were by far my favorite. Although we ordered one entree per person, I think it would have been better to order family style in the future. The portion sizes are extremely generous and if you order one entree per person, it ends up with way too much meat. I would suggest ordering 2 entrees for three people and maybe 2 to 3 sides (depending on how hungry you are). We ended up with apple strudel for dessert - definitely the best option! I highly recommend this place. Make a stop by and afterwards you can spend some free time walking around the Old Town Square. read more

In Prague, eat (and drink) like a Czech! We wanted a good restaurant, with local food and decent prices that is also around the city center so we won't have to travel far. I guess there's still something touristy about this place but the presence of some locals who ate there too made me feel like we made the right choice. We came in, and got a table, the place makes you feel really cozy once you step in- feels like an old home with some antiques and wooden tables, the modern-pop-radio music was, however, not spot on... But the volume was rather low so no problem. They have great beers and great starters, my boyfriend ordered the pork knee (which is very traditional in Czech Republic) and I had another traditional food - Goulash soup in bread. Both dishes were big and hearty, very tasty, I was very sad when my soup was over! Skip the fries though, it's not that good, the potato salad is very good. If I'm ever coming back to Prague, I'm coming once more for this wonderful soup. read more

Hidden off the main road Mlejnice was great! The food came out fast and fresh. We started off with the onion rings which were hand dipped in a beer batter with a special dipping sauce.

My friend got the hot wings which were lightly tossed in a mild bbq sauce. All in all it's a must when visiting Prague! read more
