Phenomenal pasta and farmers cheese (I need the recipe!)

This was our best meal in Prague!! Amazing service! Our son has a severe not allergy and they accommodated and verified that everything was nut free. The flambeed wild boar, duck with caraway seeds and the farmers cheese pasta were outstanding!! The only issue was that we made the mistake of NOT returning on our last night in Prague!! Highly recommend this restaurant for a five dining experience.

Nestled in Old Town! (05/25/23)
Jennifer Y.

Less formal and easier to get a last minute reservation is this sister restaurant to The Blue Duckling. Cozy and charming is this restaurant nestled in Old Town. Impeccable service through and through. Delectable was their "Venison Pate"; and, as expected, sensational was their crispy skinned "Signature Roast Duck", just as delicious was their sauce and white cabbage; yet I found the bacon rolled potato dumplings on my plate to be doughy inside. Even so, a memorable dinner it was and all the while, fun it was to have a live pianist accompanying the evening away! CHEERS!

An excellent choice that is tourist friendly on a side street near old town square. Come for the duck, of course the pate was my favorite and the duck main course was great too. The servers are knowledgeable and friendly. Ask them to select the Czech wine for you, as you will never select correctly yourself. Love the wood paneled aged rings that feel historic. And don't forget to tip the piano player. I asked him to stop playing American songs like New York, New York and start playing Czech songs. It was so much fun. All the servers joined in. I guess tourists don't usually ask for that.

Duck!
Lisa H.

Had dinner here while visiting Prague. Lovely ambience with excellent food and service. Celebrated my husband's birthday with a lovely dessert that they brought with a candle. Made for a really special night. The duck is the star of the show!

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.

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.

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!!

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.

Having had just arrived in Prague earlier that day and having cycled 100+ kilometers, I was quite famished when I arrived. I hadn't made a reservation but being a singleton at an early evening hour, the staff found me a table quickly. I started by ordering an alcohol-free beer and then I perused the menu. Marek, the waiter, soon came to my aide and helped me pick out a hearty portion: dumplings, of course! For dessert, I also had another set of dumplings and I loved both dishes.

I was about to order a glass of wine when I saw the Pilsner Urquell in the three styles. Although the menu did not have the official name, I opted for The Cut (aka Šnyt), which is more foam than beer. For dinner, I went with the Veal & Cheese Rissole. The breading provided plenty of flavor to the veal & pork combo. The mashed potato had a very creamy texture. Unfortunately, the cucumber salad was the least favorite of the three. The shredded cucumber was akin to sauerkraut being drowned in water. I regretfully passed on the dessert. From my vantage point, I could not see anyone ordering dessert. Even more regrettable, before I left, I discovered the restroom was not well cleaned.

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.
