I had beef neck sous-vide with a lager. The beef was accompanied by a poached egg, bread dumplings, and a dill sauce. I was expecting something heavy, but it wasn't. It was really excellent. So fun to try new foods when traveling.

TLDR: there are better options for food and beer. I came here because the reviews were excellent,…read morehowever, I wasn't the biggest fan. We ordered the beef cheeks, which were served cold (likely as intended but not what I was expecting). Flavor was fine but not great. The burger was also just okay. For something so standard, it was passable but not likely to order again. Our favorite dishes were 1) the duck and 2) potato and vegetable patties. Duck was crispy, hot, and had pretty good flavor! The vegetable patties were also crispy and balanced, slightly sweet. The beer list was limited but we liked what we ordered. Hate to be a broken record but we've had better while in the city. Wouldn't recommend this place to a friend since it was just average.

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.

We are early diners and the only couple near us were also Americans on holiday. Our server spoke excellent English and guided us through the menu choices. After an appetizer of tomatoes and cucumbers in a light dressing, I ordered the sirloin in cream and my wife the trout filet. The food, like the service, was superb. Our server surprised us with a complimentary "shot" of a very strong Czeck liqueur at the end of the meal. we had a grand time and hope you will too!!

My hostel receptionist recommended this place and as I traveled to it, I became skeptical since it…read morewas in a touristy area. Nonetheless, I entered and hope for an escape from the unforgiving sun on that day. The staff seated me at one of the booths and after I requested some information explaining the menu and what's popular, they were more than happy to assist. They even explained some local etiquette and so on which was perfect for a visitor like myself. I decided to try out their Pickled Cheese as an appetizer. The cheese, paired with the onion salad and bagel was great. I really didn't know if I was eating it correctly but still delicious. For the main course, my waiter recommended a Schnitzel with potato salad. Just to get it out of the way, but the potato salad was almost better than anything I've had in the United States. I thought we were doing it right until I spent one day in Prague. The Schnitzel was also delicious. Perfect with the salad, the provided a blend of flavor and substance I desperately needed. All in all, this place was a great experience in Prague. The staff could not have been anymore nicer as I left with an itinerary on what to do during my time in Prague. The food and service were great. Don't be fooled by the location and stop by if you're in Old Square.

Came by for dinner the other night and it was a decent experience. The Eatery is a modern Czech…read morerestaurant a few stops away from the touristy part of Prague with mainly locals. The restaurant is featured in the Michelin guide and features a chef's counter. The restaurant is a good 10 minute walk from the metro. There is a bus/tram stop in front of the restaurant. The restaurant is located in a quiet neighborhood and was slightly hard to find. Started off with the homemade bread with butter. I found the bread dry and lackluster. It was interesting that the waiter claimed that the bread made in house daily when I saw one of the cooks cut up prepackaged store-bought bread... Opted for the tripes as a starter per the recommendation from the waiter. I was slightly surprised that such a dish could appear in a fancy restaurant. The waiter reassured me that this was a popular Czech dish. The tripes were fine although I found the dish a touch lacking with a ton of thousand island squirted on the dish? I did find the dish a touch salty ... as with most dishes in Prague. ..maybe it's cultural Moved on to the smoked pork tongue as the main. It was my first time having pork tongue and this tasted more like a sausage. I'm not sure what was with the saltier cream sauce that complemented this dish as it looked fine but the flavors were again on the saltier side... The dumpling I found to be quite dry and boring. Ended off the meal with the panna cotta which may have been the highlight of the meal. The panna cotta was light and served with a couple versions of pear. The ice cream with rum was tasty too.

We had an amazing dinner here. The restaurant was a bit out of the city center, but it was worth…read morethe short trip away from the tourists. The entire menu was creatively planned. We got the following and enjoyed every dish: * Deep-fried trout, caramelized carrot sauce, green pea, and lemon mayonnaise * Beef tartar, lovage mayonnaise, egg yolk cream, parmesan custard, smoked almonds, and bread chips * Koprovka, dill sauce, grenaille potato, and egg * Pan-fried duck breast, potato fondant, pulled duck leg, carrot purée, and sea buckthorn * Caramel mousse, condensed milk, caramelized nuts, fresh cheese ice cream The Eatery did a very good job modernizing traditional Czech dishes. For example, the egg that was used in the koprovka was a 62'C sous vide egg for 1 hour, which added a very nice modern touch. Service was attentive, but casual. We felt like we were dining at a good friend's rather than at a restaurant.

You will roll the dice on how far your English will get you depending on the night. Food is for the most part average. Nothing that will blow your socks off, but it is much better than you will find in the touristy areas of Praha 1. The portions are pretty large and filling. You could make much worse choices in Prague, but it isn't as amazing as the reviews below would lead you to believe.

The place has the atmosphere of a dimly lit pub which I didn't find that inviting, there were only 2 other customers and my menu was falling apart but I thought 'Whatever' and ordered anyways. I wish, I had walked out. I asked for fish & chips and spaghetti bolognese. I have to admit that the food came out very quickly - it just took a few minutes - but that was definitely due to the low quality. The fries were fine - I give them that - but the fish was bought frozen at some big retailer & of mushy consistency. It was the worst fried fish I have ever had. :( The spaghetti was a generous portion size, but the pasta as well as the sauce were pre-made and just warmed up. The base of the sauce tasted as if it had come out of a bag. The service was only borderline friendly - the waiter seemed annoyed when I asked for some ketchup. I would not consider coming me back here.
