Service was ok. Food was ok. Ambience was standard. I expected the goulash to have flavor, which I could not taste. Chunks of beef, which I expected to be fork-tender were very tough. Cheap meat was reflected in cheap price. Amazingly, the spinach was wonderfully seasoned. read more

We had an amazing dinner here and really enjoyed ourselves. Sitting outside allowed us to take in the beautiful weather, and the service was wonderful. We started with a round of beer and wine, along with the baked Brie topped with cranberry sauce--such a tasty choice. The Moravian roast pork was tender and juicy, served with potato dumplings and some of the best spinach I've ever tasted. The prices were quite reasonable for the area too. We'd definitely recommend this spot! read more

Yummy food, great service - absolutely flawless experience, will come back if I get a chance

If you've ever rolled your eyes at fellow tourists complaining that "you just can't find authentic food in Prague," let me point you to U Parlamentu--a place that instantly proves them wrong. The only reason they haven't found it is because they won't bother venturing even slightly beyond the selfie-stick zones and overpriced square-side menus. Step inside, and the ambience hits you immediately--bustling, no-frills, and frozen in time in the best possible way. It feels like a snapshot from 1950s Prague: wood-paneled walls, sturdy tables, waiters who keep things moving briskly, and a dining room filled with locals packed elbow to elbow. There's a warm, lived-in charm here that tells you this place has fed generations. During lunch, it's packed with Czech office workers diving into plates of svíčková (beef in creamy sauce with bread dumplings), fried pork schnitzel with boiled potatoes and pickles, hearty soups, and other beloved comfort foods. And of course, nearly every table has a glass of crisp Pilsner lager--because here, that's just how lunch is done. There's no tourist gloss. Just fast service, full flavors, great prices, and an atmosphere that hasn't been manufactured--it's simply real. U Parlamentu is what you find when you stop chasing "hidden gems" and just let Prague be itself. read more

This place was recommended by our tour guide for their cheap draft beer and good food but as we're not beer people we still went for the good food I had the rabbit dish with bread dumpling and it was sooooooooo good! I definitely recommend this place if you want to try rabbit and just good food in general The restaurant is not very big and don't have much character but the food makes up for it read more

THIS PLACE IS SO GOOD!!! From their service to their food to the ambience!! First, the service is very fast! These guys know how to turn some tables and they do it in a manner where you don't feel rushed. I ordered the baked Brie, a Pilsner and the Svíčková (the most traditional and popular dish)! Let me just tell you... the reviews were not kidding. You could literally lick and eat the plate entirely. It is that freaking good. The Svíčková (beef in creamy sauce) was perfectly prepared and didn't feel very heavy to me, although, out of the four dumplings I only ate one. The brie came out really warm and just melted on the bread (which was the perfect pairing). Now let me just tell you.. I am not a cranberry girl but this one I surprisingly loved. Definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants an authentic vibe that's in old town! You will leave so happy and full! read more

I had high expectations for this restaurant and it almost delivered. Almost. You need to try for a reservation before arriving because otherwise you'll be waiting a bit. Only a few tables are open walk in people. Once you are seated, service is prompt and efficient. The food was mostly okay. The dumplings were pretty bland, the roasted pork was a little dry, but the sauces were very good. Even the simple onion soup was delightful. So stick to the moist dishes. You're likely to find live music in the hall if you arrive around dinner time. Prices are reasonable, but maybe a little high given the quality of the cook. Still, it's probably return to try something new. read more

Probably 3+. It was overall average to good. Decent meal, but not special. I had the goulash. I also tried the fries. The goulash was good, but not memorable. The fries were good. Crunchy outside and soft inside. I really liked the aesthetics. The place was really cool. It looked like a throwback bohemian cafe. Cool pictures of what looked like famous literary, artsy people and very cool, large windows where I imagined people sat on the sill back in the day smoking and sipping coffee theorizing on existentialism, discussing current events, and exuding counter-culture vibe. read more

Excellent food and great prices considering the location. They have daily specials and a regular menu published in several languages. I had the duck with cabbage and potato dumplings and it was outstanding. Highly recommend this place! read more

Delicious restaurant located within walking distance of old town! This place can get crowded but it seems like they are able to get you in relatively quickly - a great opportunity to have a beer at the bar. For two people we shared the onion soup with cheese, beef in creamy sauce, and the fried pork schnitzel. Everything was delicious! The schnitzel was freshly fried and everything paired so well with the beer. Definitely a spot worth checking out! read more

Delicious restaurant in Prague! It is super popular so there may be a wait but tables open up quick. For two, we shared the traditional onion soup with cheese, fried pork schnitzel with boiled potatoes and pickles, and the traditional beef in creamy sauce with bread dumplings. Czech food is definitely on the heavier side- everything was delicious and was very comforting during the winter. I got a non-alcoholic Pomelo-grapefruit drink (non-alcoholic) which was so refreshing! read more

In our pre-trip research on Czech food, we discovered that duck and rabbit were very popular, and were lookin forward to it. We got duck the first night, but had no luck finding rabbit...until we walked into this place (and we wouldn't have, but the other Yelp rated restaurant was closed for remodeling). Czech food is multiple variations on "meat-in-sauce-over-dumplings." We enjoyed the rabbit: very tender and tasty. Beer, as usual, was good albeit hoppy (that's more or less the standard). read more

U Parlamentu - Beer is the cheapest drink on the menu! - Czech Near Me - Prague, Puerto Rico

Close to the Jewish quarter and old Prague. This is near the tourist spots but has a much more authentic flair and has solid food and drink. Inside is a cozy Czech interior adorned with photos. The staff isn't friendly but is no nonsense and willing to help. They are fast and attentive. The beer is cold and tasty. The food is homey and comforting and well prepared. The onion soup is a must try. And the rabbit surprised me. Not too salty...could use a bit of pepper. But it was tender and flavorful, the spinach a and dumpling were nice too. Also just nice to have something green on the plate. Give it a try! read more

I wish I loved this place like others, but it started out all wrong and it just made the experience not as enjoyable as I would hope. I wanted to this some Czech food so I had this place and another in mind. We opted for U Parlamentu. When we went in, they said we had to wait 10 mins. But just going in, it felt very unwelcoming. I don't know whether its because we weren't from Prague or that we were Asians, but it felt like they didn't want to help us and it took A LONG time to get a table. It was definitely more than 10 mins and I kept staring at the waiters to see if we would get their attention to remember that we were still waiting. After what felt like forever, we got a table. We got our menus from our not so happy waiter. I wanted to try the pork knuckle, so we got that and also a large salad. We also decided to try the beer because its cheap and they are known for it too. The pork knuckle is definitely something to share with someone because it's a hefty dish for one. It comes with mustard and pickles which helps with the heaviness of the dish. We thought the skin was going to be crispy but I couldn't even chew through it even if I tried. The meat itself was very tender and falls off easily. It doesn't come very seasoned but its definitely reminiscent of pulled pork. As for the salad, the large wasn't as big as i thought. Maybe in the US, if its a big, it's definitely big, but I can definitely eat the whole thing myself and not have an issue of feeling full. It wasn't anything special honestly, but because we it's so hard to find greens in Prague, we just wanted something light with our meal. As for the beer, it wasn't anything special. I think the dark beer tasted better, but I am personally not a beer lover, so this definitely didn't change my opinion. If you love beer, Prague has a lot of cheap beer, so you can drink to your heart's content. While we were eating, we had 2 grandpas seated at the same table. I noticed they would look at us from time to time. One of them eventually asked if we were Korean. I said no, we are from the US. The grandpa told the other grandpa and they talked amongst themselves. I couldn't understand but they seemed quite intoxicated. They finally left at some point but one of the grandpas doesn't seem to believe that we were not Korean haha. But regardless, the meal was ok. I would say that they guy at the bar was nicer compared to the waiters. When we were leaving, he at least thanked us for coming. Overall, I probably wouldn't want to come back again since none of the food wowed me, but at least i could say that I tried real Czech food. read more

Favorite restaurant in the Czech Republic. U Parlamentu specializes in traditional Czech cuisine. The food here is immensely rich. You can pretty much go into hibernation once you're done because you've accumulated enough fat for the winter. Would still come back and do it all over again. Try to make reservations. We came here around 5 pm and had to wait almost half an hour for a table to clear. Svickova - Marinated beef in a creamy vegetable sauce with bread dumplings. Everyone before me has already mentioned it, and I can only reiterate that it's worth a try. The bread dumplings were perfect to soak up the gravy on the plate. Pork Knuckle - We tried pork knuckle in 4 different restaurants across central Europe, but this one was our favorite. The knuckle was mammoth and cooked so that the skin was crispy but the meat was fall apart tender. The extra pairing of horseradish and pickled vegetables gave a nice tart break to the roasted meat. Roasted rabbit - I'm not a stranger to rabbit, and this dish cooked the meat very well (it just tastes like lean chicken). Once more, the gravy around the plate was perfect to pair with the bread dumplings. The spinach was also a welcome bread from all of the meat and carbs during this dinner. Roasted pork - Similar preparation as the rabbit and svickova. The pork was very tender and juicy. Service was fast and prices were well worth-it, if not a bargain for the quality and amount of food we got. Beers were also great! read more

The food is heavy. I mean HEAVY. You will want to unbutton your pants and take a nap afterwards. There is a dish called SVICKOVA and this is THE local dish. When you come to Chicago you would get a deep dish pizza (stupidly) or a Chicago style hot dog. When you come here you get this dish. SVICKOVA.Everybody claims to have the best SVICKOVA . Everybody's mother has their own SVICKOVA recipe. This is what Czechoslovakians eat in their own homes. They argue about whose is superior. This place serves it as close to what a mama in Czechoslovakia would make for her lil'bambino. This is THE place favored by locals. I can't quite figure out the Czechoslovakians. They seem rather stiffnecked and humorless at first.Perhaps not friendly in an American way.. Stoic. And yet once you lean in a little bit they actually are very helpful and friendly. They try to accommodate. My first reaction to the guys working at this place was that they were rather unflappable and w/ not much personality. I was wrong.By the end of my experience they were fantastic. They seem very proud of Prague and anxious to tell us other places that we should eat and experience. I left my phone there and hours later returned to them cheering that I had returned. Thanks guys! Really good people. Don't let your first reaction as an American sway you. Different but great. And get the SVICKOVA! read more

Awesome beer and such a fabulous location. Very close to the Charles bridge! Was hesitant to come here since it's so close to the touristy areas but so glad we did. Not only is this place packed with tourists but there were plenty of locals as well. Never had to wait for a table (yes we came here twice) and the beer kept coming as soon as our glasses were empty. Their cheese marinated in spices is delicious. As well as their pate. Great spot to grab a drink and snack and rest your feet. Clean bathrooms too! read more

U Parlamentu - Not a fan of this beer and blue cheese combo but the presentation was awesome - Czech Near Me - Prague, Puerto Rico

This restaurant offers a traditional Czech menu filled local dishes and my favorite, local beer. The staff is very friendly and very efficient, they get 10 stars for that alone. Food is very delicious pairs very good with the pilsner and is reasonably priced. Although it was very busy, we manged to get a table in minutes, so don't feel discouraged if you see that it's busy, from what the locals told me, its always busy but the wait is reasonable and definitely worth it. My favorite Czech restaurant. read more

Was on layover as a flight attendant for my first time ever in the beautiful city of Prague. I had asked one of my Czech coworkers what was one thing I had to try while in her country and she immediately replied with "Svickova!". I allowed myself to get lost walking through the old city/city center and stumbled across U Parlamentu. It was raining for most of the day, and I was craving a cozy/hearty meal after a long afternoon/evening of exploring. I was quickly seated and given a menu that had several languages. I quickly ordered a beer and the Czech Beer Cheese (Pivní Syr) for an appetizer. Both of which my friendly server brought promptly. When he put the beer cheese plate on the table he looked at me with a smile and asked "do you know what to do?", to which I responded "no" and he graciously answered "no problem!" and then proceeded to pour the two small accompanying shot glasses of beer over the sliced cheese, pile of separated diced onions, paprika and small bit of mustard, and then began kneading/mixing it all together with two forks. Then he brought a basket of bread and left me to it. The cheese spread was delicious--it's definitely made with a strong/pungent cheese, but I loved it--definitely plan on trying to replicate the dish at home! Then for my main course, I ordered the famous Czech dish of Svičková, a type of marinated beef served with a cream sauce and bread dumplings. (Note that on the English menu, it doesn't read/show as Svickova, but rather listed under the "Traditional Czech Main Dishes" as 'Marinated Beef in creamy vegetable sauce, with bread dumplings'). It wasn't the most beautiful dish to look at, but man did it taste amazing! I practically licked my plate clean. YUM! All in all it was a lovely little dinner for one, and a wonderful first taste of Prague/Czech Republic! Definitely recommend! read more

Wonderful Czech restaurant filled with locals, a lovely atmosphere, and great service! The menu here is extensive, and I went with the roast rabbit on garlic with spinach and potato dumplings, plus a side of sauerkraut and a glass of the house white. The house white was quite nice and very drinkable. I had never had rabbit before, but it was well cooked and they are more than willing to bring you more of the delicious sauce. The atmosphere of the restaurant is lively and you will feel right at home here. Our waiter was lovely as well, and with the windows all open, it was a great place to eat, drink, and chat all evening. read more

One of my favourite go-to places for basic Czech cuisine. A cozy tavern filled with local atmosphere that features a good number of tables outside. Add to that excellent, attentive service made for a great meal experience. I had one of the chef's special, grilled pork chop. It was a reasonable slab of piggy meat that was tender and had an excellent mushroom sauce. I found the sauce lite and full of flavour, the chop was tender and nicely cooked. The side of spaetzle was great for soaking up the sauce. I also had a side of the tomato/olive salad. A good portion of tomatoes but I would have liked a bit more of the red onion and dill garnish. Great meal with very good service at a reasonable price. Can't beat that! read more

I was very full by the end. It was also relatively cheap. I definitely recommend this place (: read more

U Parlamentu - Rabbit leg with garlic - Czech Near Me - Prague, Puerto Rico

We wanted to try traditional Czech food and this place was recommended to us by a local. We started off with a beer cheese and bread with garlic for appetizers. It was absolutely amazing! The cheese was aromatic and paired perfectly with the bread. There was four of us and had enough to share for 1 order. We had the roast pork with potato dumplings for our main entree. The roast pork was flavorful, and the meat was so tender you didn't even need a knife to eat it. They accept credit cards and cash. Great staff and fast service as well! Overall, this is a restaurant worth the visit. read more

This place is about 2 min walk from the hotel we stayed at and 2 min walk from the old town square. With that said, it's NOT a tourist trap, there's a good mix of local and tourists, and it can get busy if you go for dinner after 7pm. We came here twice during our three days stay here in Prague. We tried cured beef tongue, roasted pork, and a plate of samples of Czech food. There's no doubt they do their meat right here - tender, juicy, absolutely no complaints. Don't expect the waiters to greet you when you walk into the door, because either that's just the way they do restaurant here, or they are busy. But once you get their attention, they are nice and accommodating. The best part? Two big glasses of Pilsners for about $3, the cheapest we had while in Prague! read more

Great Czech restaurant! Of course I had to have goulash with Semelknödel (and a few pints of the local draft). It was almost as good as my mother's cooking. It is a simple and good restaurant. The most fun is to share a table with some random strangers. I know, Americans are often afraid to share a table with strangers, but it can be really worth it. Our random table neighbors were Chinese from Maryland and very nice. read more

I ordered the rabbit with garlic, although I didn't really taste much garlic. The rabbit was good though. It came with spinach and potato dumplings. My BF got the pork and that was pretty forgettable. Not much flavor. The sauerkraut on the side was the best part of his meal. It also came with bread dumplings and this was basically cold white bread rounds. The sauces were both ok. We ended the meal with apple strudel; again it was just ok. The crust was a little soggy. read more
