    CZ style roast duck with plum cabbage, potato dumplings, and Brussels sprouts. One of the best ducks I've ever had!

    Duck pate and foie gras
    Jennifer L.

    Service was good and the appetizer of the duck foie Gras was amazing but duck entree was very dry and the lamb shank didn't have tons of flavor and a little fatty.

    Family Dining.

    The little ducky was terrific and the service was outstanding old school style. You have to like DUCK. The duck I had was 5 star and we sported flambe every chance we found on the menu. The ambience was of a beautiful black walnut style with historical items strategically placed.

    Oh my this restaurant! It was so perfect. It's in the historic center of Prague, we were seated in a beautiful table inside with candles in the middle of the day! So romantic. I loved the decoration, so eclectic, crazy. The service was super nice, they were funny and attentive. The food, the food!!! We had (per owner's recommendation): goat and sheep cheese with honey & nuts, soo delicious! As main courses, the grilled duck with red and white cabbage with potato crepe on nut sauce. Grilled duck breast with foie gras with plumb sauce and crispy potatoes. You must come if you are visiting Prague!! Dios mío este restaurante! Fue tan perfecto. Queda en el centro histórico de Praga, nos sentaron en una hermosa mesa adentro con velas en el medio del día! Muy romántico. Me encanto la decoración, tan ecléctica, muy loca. El servicio fue muy bueno, amables, graciosos y atentos. La comida, la comida!!! Ordenamos (por recomendación del dueño): queso de Cabra y de oveja con miel y nueces, delicioso! Como platos principales, el pato asado con repollo blanco y colorado con un panqueque de papas con salsa de nueces. Pechuga de pato asada con foie gras con salsa de ciruelas y papas crocantes. Tienen que venir aquí si están visitando Praga!!

    Thank goodness for Yelp! Now I finally know the name of this restaurant means The Blue Duckling 2 ;) I'd found them while browsing IG tags for Praha and fell in love with the decor. I knew we needed to dine here. We had a late night reservation on a Sunday, which I really appreciated as there aren't so many options for eating as late as we needed to on this day of the week. We had just come into town from Berlin and I'd run the Berlin marathon so this was a celebration dinner of sorts for the two of us :) We arrived a little bit late (10:45p) and they close at 11P and had no problem seating us at whichever table we liked. Service was FANTASTIC! from start to finish. They did mention the kitchen would be closing very soon so we put our orders in quickly. The bread basket was so delicious! After a long day, carbs were exactly what I was looking for. It was warm and tasty, with a variety of slices accompanied by salted butter. So good! and it kept being refilled throughout our stay. We shared a very nice salad and pâté dish before our entrees. We both ordered duck. I mean, we had too right? ;) Our plates were so nicely done, my duck had the most perfect crispy exterior and was so tasty and juicy. It was a much larger portion that it appeared and really filled me up. I couldn't eat all of it. I had a glass of Chianti which I thought was a bit random since I was in the Czech Republic but it was good and paired well with my food. We finished our meal with a raspberry sorbet which was a nice cool refreshing end to a fabulous meal. I highly recommend U Modré kachničky II. It's so pretty and romantic (candlelit tables) and I had the most lovely time here. I very much look forward to returning on my next trip to Prague and can't wait to bring my son here too :) Enjoy! I guarantee you will love it and and can go for a beautiful stroll through the area when finished.

    Duck breast with foie gras, plum sauce and homemade potato croquettes
    Joyce L.

    This is the place to go if you want perfectly cooked duck. We made reservations in advance and it was good that we did as they turned away a lot of people tonight who decided to just walk in. We started with the smoked duck breast which was delicious and came with a really great sauce. Then we got the duck broth which was my favorite thing of the night. The broth was so flavorful and rich and loved the foie gras bits as well as the noodles. This is a must get! Next we got the duck breast with foie gras and plum sauce which was cooked to perfection (medium rare) and the sauce and the potato croquettes were so good! We were stuffed after the meal and it was just so much food. This decadent meal only came to about $100 usd! No way I could have gotten this back in NYC for under $150! Do yourself a favor and make a reservation for at least one of the nights when you're in Prague. P.S. service was great and liked the humor of the waiters!

    What a restaurant! Frankly, I have been very disappointed about Czech cuisine becuase it was mainly typical meat and potatos. This restaurant throws my perception of Czech cusine. For an example, when I had finished their Czech dumpling in spite of my strong dislike of Czech dumpling, I realized this was not your normal Czech restaurant. Its atmosphere is one of the best I have seen, classically cultured decoration with traditional European antique treasures and wonderful piano music with classic pop songs sang by a piano player. Let's talk about the most important thing, food. It started with incredible butters, garlic and regular. But regular butter is what has taken me, rich and flavorful. Also, tasty home made breads. I have not even started with the appetizer. We tried the "taste menu". That is how I know their food is great. Tried three main courses. I will save my effort on describing the menu. Just check the menu picture. It was a big surprise. What a great overall experience! Food and service was outstanding. The wine was very good as well, local Cabernet Sauvignon called Gryllus. Had two bottles and took two home. Did I mentioned this is a duck restaurant? Their duck dishes are the best I have tasted. Bottom line is I left with a full stomach and happy spirit. Of course, completely cleaned plates. Lastly, wondering how fast I can come back. What a dinning experience!!!!!!

    I was given this restaurant as a recommendation by a local and have no regrets. They are known for their duck, which my friend had and said was really well cooked, but I had the vegetarian option of potato dumplings with garlic spinach and mushrooms. Wow, so impressed! The food was flavorful, and I was not expecting to find a good vegetarian option in a traditional Czech restaurant. Mushrooms were tender and a perfect accompaniment to the dumplings. They also served homemade bread with some chive butter, which was a great start to the meal. Highly recommend this restaurant!

    Duck soup with foie gras.
    Leah K.

    This was such a wonderful experience. The duck soup with foie gras was truly something special. Everything was delicious and the service was excellent. The pianist was a real treat. He played Radiohead and Britney Spears and also the classics. Really fantastic spot.

    Duck with cabbage and dumplings
    Alicia-Nick S.

    Duck. Go here for the duck. So many Americans will not eat duck because it is "too greasy" which is utter nonsense and I believe that this place is the best way to convert them. My Wife and I have always enjoyed duck dishes, but were blown away by the differences in our two orders. The chef has definitely a mastery of the different preparations. The starter was less than stellar, not bad, but just didn't live up to the mains. The sampler platter was worth it though if you wish to try a few different items. It was sufficient to be split for 2 or 3. Interior and service are great. Unique ambience especially with the live piano. I'd try to sit upstairs vs. down as the piano could be a bit overpowering. Go for sure!

    We last ate here around 12 years ago and it's just as great if not better. Not that easy to find so do your directions in advance. The food is hearty but presented in a more Michelin starred theme. I cannot fault the food and the lamb shank was disinegratng from the bone. The Czech wine was as good as any French rhone valley and tbe desert was served with a super desert wine. Very pleasant service and lovely live piano music in the background.

    Duck wit pear and ginger
    Jessy B.

    Thank you... for showing us that great food exists in Prague and that Czech food can be delicious. We found U Modre Kachnichy from Yelp - thanks Yelpers for the reviews. Ambience - dim lighting but enough so that older eyes can read the menu. Romantic feeling. Waiters - very nice but they still had that eastern block seriousness. Then they would let a snarky but funny comment come out that would make me laugh. You just gotta appreciate the sense of humor is different than American raucous style humor. BTW, we asked what to order and he told us what to get. We added one thing which made our waiter ostensibly cringed. And he was right. He tried to warn us... Reservations - make 'em. We tried to get in the day before (hotel called) and couldn't. So we found the place a day before and asked for a table. Food Appetizer Marinated sheep cheese in garlic oil with spring onion - 5/5 delicious with just the right amount of saltiness. It was a solid block and not a soft cheese. Main Course Duck - 5/5 this is what they are known for and you need to order it. I had the duck with pear and ginger. I didn't taste any ginger but there was a nice poached (?) pear which went well. Veal - 4/5 the hubby had this yummy meat dish and enjoyed it. Not as good as the duck but still worth getting. The potato puree though was weird and not very tasty. Wine We ordered the Chianti and it was perfect for the meal. More expensive than the Czech wines but we were looking for something dependable. Dessert This is where things went sideways and it was our fault. The waiter tried to warn us and we just wouldn't listen. I think he actually grimaced in pain when we ordered the Chocolate cake. It tasted like it had been sitting there for a week. Lesson learned... It really was a lovely dining experience all around.

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.

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.
