astronomical decor
Lauren Z.

We went here as the first stop on a beer tour of Prague. After an issue at what was to be our first stop, we came here for 2 beers instead of one. We loved the decor of this bar - fun astrology theme and light fixtures throughout the place. We first had a Pilsner Urquell and then next a Krusovice Dark. I really enjoyed the Krusovice as it is the first time I've ever had it. We did not eat so I cannot comment on the food. The staff was great at getting beers for our large group. One of the tour guides said this was his favorite low key place to have a beer even when not on a tour. It's right in Old Town so convenient for tourists!

Chicken stuffed with ham and cheese
Steve G.

After finding 3 other restaurants full, we ended up at U Spirku. Looked inside, plenty of patrons, mostly tourists, and the menu and prices looked reasonable. Wait staff not the warmest, but immediately sat us at table. The menu is quite large - more items than most Czech restaurants we've been to. I chose the chicken stuffed with ham and cheese. Wife chose the combination plate with duck and pork. Everything was dry, probably overcooked a bit, and bland. My chicken looked like it was stuffed with Oscar Meyer ham and not much of it. Indifferent service, mediocre food, reasonable prices. One big plus, there was a live guitar player playing American 60's hit e.g. Beatles which made for a very nice atmosphere. Still the unimpressive food brings the rating to 3*.

Overall good meal although it was our first time eating Czech food. Wife had a salad w feta. Basically tomatoes and cukes with feta cheese, tasty and refreshing. Side note tomatoes in all eateries are so ripe and sweet. Unlike US store and restaurant tomatoes. I had the chicken soup w noodles. Very good and would taste even better in cold weather. Broth was really tasty. Main dish was the pork knuckle. Crispy on the outside, juicy and tasty on the inside. Served with mustard and sweet horseradish. Cut the richness with wife's salad. Had two glasses of their Pilsner. Like a tasty light beer. Went well with the pork. Note I don't drink beer w my meals, however the Pilsner really complimented the pork. Service was great, menu in English. Server spoke perfect English, friendly and helpful. During the week not so busy, but reservations required on weekends, unless you go at odd ball hours. Difficult to find, goggle map download will get you there. Basically within 50 yards of the astronomical clock, but down a side street. In fact there were a number of eateries shops, candy store. Sex museum [really}! Explore a little and don't settle for the crowded noisy restaurants in the old town Square. 20% tip, total cost $51 US. A bargain to me compared to Los Angeles restaurants. Tasty food generous portions.

Delicious 'svieckova'
Gabika B.

We were looking for some typical Czech cuisine and couldn't find any place without making prior a reservation. We were walking by and by looking at the menu (posted on the exterior) we found the prices reasonable (200CZK for svieckova) so went inside and found instantly a table to sit at. We ordered svieckova and goulash and some red wine - the service was very friendly, we got served very fast and could enjoy the lovely interior and the relaxed atmosphere (well I have to admit it was on a Tuesday night, so that could explain the empty tables). For those looking for a restaurant with tasty Czech food - come to 'Restaurace u Spirku'!

Great location with interesting interior. Food was okay. Service slow and not very friendly but the place was crowded with tourists, so no big surprise. Only 3 stars. Why? I don't know. It was really nothing special. And I am always very disappointed with bad service and not motivated waitors. She wrote a note on the bill which advised us how much tip is necessary. Bad!

Goulash

Nice place with traditional Czech dishes. We went there for lunch and ordered a plate with several meats and dumplings and Goulash. It was great although a little to heavy and meathy for lunch. Still we enjoyed it to the fullest. The restaurant has many historical features as decoration. While waiting, the waiter brought us a little booklet with short explanations about the historical backgroud of the restaurant. We loved the idea, because we were distracted and the starters came in no time. Service was great.

Old town plate. Very good!!

We came at 4pm on a Thursday and they told us we could find a table with a reserved time, we just have to leave about 15 mins before the reserved time starts. We walked into the back, found a four top and the waitress immediately got a baby chair and brought menus. She said they make buttered noodles for free for kids and said she can put that in asap - total pro! We ordered the pork roll with dumplings and a side of beet salad to share - DELISH! The menu changes daily and the waitress will tell you what's good to order - do as she says - order came out in less than five minutes! The blonde beer was delicious and crisp, very drinkable. If you want some good services, vibes, and classic beer and food- this is the place.

Wow this place is busy around dinner time, but it turns over pretty quick! If you're looking for a…read morequiet intimate meal for two, this is most certainly not the place to go. If you are looking for a very lively place that seats about thirteen hundred guests per day and has twelve tanks of beer, and the beer hall vibe then this spot is most certainly for you. Close to the Old Town square it is not at all touristy, the service is good and the prices are very fair for what you get. K ordered the Goulash, and I had the Chicken Schnitzel along with a beetroot salad to share. The food was plentiful and very good, especially the goulash gravy which was a deep colour that had amazing flavour. The schnitzel was not as big as the plate, but I couldn't finish it. K had a glass of wine and I a beer for about $64 CDN, which is good in Prague. Our only quibble was that the beetroot salad turned into a cabbage salad with horseradish. It was also good, but not what we ordered. We would most certainly come back and endure the half hour wait to experience and enjoy what is a somewhat unique European offering.
