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.

Soooooo... we came back for lunch the next day and walked right in! To say that this place is a 10/10 means there just weren't enough stars! From the employees to the incredible food it was tied for the best meal we had during our two weeks in Austria, Hungary, Germany, Slovenia...(the other best meal was just down the alley at the Italian place) but seriously...everything we had was even better tasting then it looked! I will die dreaming about the skin on the pork knuckle and I now have to eat my cheese sticks with tartar sauce! Thank you for a wonderful experience and hopefully we will be back again soon!!!

During the planning stage of our visit to Prague, I researched restaurants local to our hotel and…read morechose Mincovna in old town. Despite our reservation, the place seemed relatively empty. 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.

We ordered the meatloaf, fried cheese, and plenty of Czech beer. The food was delicious, fresh, and came out quickly. The Czech beer was fantastic--so smooth and easy to drink that you barely realize how many liters you've had! The dessert wasn't really my thing, but everything else was excellent. Service was outstanding. The servers were friendly, attentive, and incredibly efficient even with the restaurant buzzing with people and the game on. The vibe is what makes Lokal so special--lively, casual, and quintessentially Czech. If you're in Prague and want great food, excellent beer, and a fun local atmosphere, this is a must-visit.

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.

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.

It´s one big open space with two floors (upper one is smaller). Service was very good. Staff is friendly, pretty quick and our waitress had a smile for us everytime she came to our table. Thanx to two parts, so there are two kinds of cuisines. Czech one in beerhouse and mediterrian one in restaurant. But you can order from both no matter where you sit. Meals are pretty delicious, We tried mozzarella with roasted pepper salad, couple of kinds of meat in czech style (usually with sauer kraut and dumplings or just potatoes) and couple of things from mediterrian cuisine like risotto with sepia or lamb chops with provencal herbs. Funny thing is that it seemed to me that meals from mediterrian cuisine were better than czech ones. Czech ones were just a better average. I guess they have better cooks from southern european countries that from Czech republic. They have pretty good beer too. Their own. Different kinds. I am pretty sure you will find the one which suits you the best. What I would just remove are some TVs. There are too many of them. It´s a bit pricey. Not the czech part but the mediterrian. But that quality was good so I don´t see that as a issue. I will definitely come back.

She hasn't respect for customers at all, maybe its because of our nationality, but in the service sector there is no place for prejudice.
