Traditional Czech food that was half price of the restaurants in old town. I'd say they had the best goulash soup that we have eaten, which was a huge portion. The broth was very thick and filled with meat, not just broth, with big chunks of potatoes and carrots. The pork knuckle could be on or off the bone, it was like 2 servings. It came with white and purple sauerkraut and chives dumplings. I had the goulash, which was a hint of spicy with the paprika and onions. The dumplings (4) sopped up the rest of the gravy. Beers were also cheaper. Give it a go!

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.

We had the grilled pork chop, quarter duck, and a side of fries, and each dish was excellent. For example, the duck is seasoned in fennel and extremely tender.

The staff were very welcoming, and were happy to help us even though we only spoke English. The price is extremely reasonable, we paid about 22 euros for two entrees and three 1/2 liter beers.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Restaurace U Marčanů in Veleslavín with my tour group, and…read moreit was an unforgettable experience! Not only do you get to experience traditional Czech food. You also get to do so while watching a Czech folklore dance show; furthermore, the service was impeccable, and the traditional Czech cuisine they serve is a true celebration of local flavors. We began with Zelníky, a delicious cabbage and ham stuffing. The blend of savory ham and tangy cabbage was a pretty tasty way to start the meal. For the main course, we had Špízy, a grilled chicken shish kabob, which was perfectly grilled and served with zelené fazole, (green beans), francouzské brambory (potatoes au gratin), and fresh chléb bread balls. The layered potato dish was especially delightful, creamy and well-seasoned. Probably my favorite part of the meal. For dessert we indulged in a heavenly palačinka se zmrzlinou, a light and delicate crêpe filled with rich chocolate and topped with smooth ice cream. It was the perfect sweet note to end the meal. And if that wasn't enough, the endless wine (red or white) was the cherry on top! Throughout the evening, our glasses were continuously refilled, and I may or may have left dinner slightly tipsy. Lol The food at Restaurace U Marčanů is truly authentic, and you can tell that a lot of love and care goes into every dish. Our entire group left satisfied, with full bellies and big smiles. If you're looking to experience the best of Czech cuisine, culture, and hospitality in a cozy, traditional setting, this is the place to go! Highly recommend to anyone visiting Veleslavín or the greater Prague area.

Short form: Go for the experience, not for the food. (The food would be a three star: not bad,…read morebut probably not worth the hike from where we were staying) This place is a favorite with large tour groups. In fact, we were the only non-group people in the restaurant, which led to some rather funny interactions with the staff. I'd say be sure to book ahead (we booked it through one of the "Things To Do in Prague" sites). The musicians did a "musical tribute" to each of the groups (US, Australia, India, Canada), though the Canadian music was "This Land is Your Land"... This was just a lot of fun. While I wouldn't make a special trip for the food (which was OK) or the drinks (ditto, but see note), the musicians and dancers were entertaining. They also had free dancing (waltzes and polkas) afterward; the main disappointment here was they didn't teach any of the traditional Czech dances. Food highlights: Czech food seems to be several variations on "meat-in-sauce-with-dumplings", and the food here was no exception; I'd say "solid". Dessert was a crepe with ice cream (pictures). "All you can drink" is included in the price, and while I suspect they'd cut someone off at some point, the wine steward was unstinting, coming around several times refilling the wine. Similarly with the beer. (The only thing they didn't refill automatically was the glass becherovka, a hard liquor that, according to Wikipedia, is about 70 proof with a "secret mix" of herbs...).

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.
