Restaurants, bistros, bars and coffee shops!

The W Lounge

The W, on Wenceslas Square, has attracted lots of press especially because of the wonderful preservation work on its facade. Shimmy through the grand glass doors and find the W Lounge on its ground floor for a drink or two next time you're in the area.

Dolce Mente

The Italian community will hate me for directing more traffic to one of their best-kept secrets, but it's hard not to be delighted with Dolce Mente. Apart from whatever's on the menu, they bake fresh pastries on site.

The Dutch Pub

There's absolutely nothing Dutch about the The Dutch Pub. Maybe its just their way of attracting tourists or Heineken lovers. Either way, it's a great place to hang out, watch sports and have a beer so who cares which country it claims to represent, right?

Alriso Risotteria Italiana

A risotteria which is also completely gluten-free is an unusual concept. The name is a non-sequitur; they have more than just risotto which widens the choice. The ambience is lovely, the food is delicious and the service is second to none.

Villa 63

Nestled in the middle of leafy Vinohrady, Villa 63 is a beautiful and spacious place with an amazing garden. Their brunch is in high-demand so make sure you get there early, and then spend a lazy morning sipping your favourite spritz on a deck chair in the garden. Or try their delicious brunch options.

Napoletana – Original pizza

My quest to find great pizzerias in Prague took me to the depths of Prague 3. It's not large - seats about 16 people - and it's unassuming, but that can be a good thing.

Hemingway bar

I'd not realised Hemingway Bar moved from its location near the Charles Bridge to this spacious place a few minutes' walk south.

La Paisanita

Specialising in empanadas - also available to cook at home - La Paisanita's new restaurant in Dejvice is a great place to get that authentic Argentinian hit.

LOKA Masaryčka

With a thousand places to grab coffee in Prague, it can be hard to pick a favourite. Loka in the new Masaryčka building is bright, open and airy. Their snacks - shawarma wrap, mmmm - are a great accompaniment too.

Cafe Terapie

With summer approaching, riverside strolls are back on the menu. Prague's riverside ambience has changed much in the past decade with many places catering for food and drink. Venture down a side street, and the variety increases.
