Wine & food shop Lavite
Central without being touristy, Lavite lets you indulge in a great selection of Italian wines till the early hours any day of the week.
Yummy Hummus
Oleaginous silky home made hummus is an epicurean memory of lazy summers. Or Yummy Hummus in leafy Vinohrady. Tip: Try the lamb sausages!
Bricks
Bricks has a perfect location for date night - overlooking the Charles Bridge too. Their Ossobuco alla Milanese was the cherry on the cake, so to speak.
Bruxx
Having lived in Brussels for many years, Bruxx helps me time travel. Their pots of mussels au vin blanc - and Duvel beer! - are to die for
Amano
Billing itself as an Italian grill restaurant means Amano is a carnivore's treat. They have a daily meat board to choose your favourite cut from. Delicious.
Gin Express
With 53 gins, I admire the dedication at Gin o'Clock to ensure we get the right gin-and-tonic. My favourite? The classic Monkey 47 G&T
Bistro U Býka
Bistro U Býka specialises in imported Slovakian meat. As well as being a delicatessen, its partner burger bar offers up succulent homemade burgers right on the spot, a few steps away from the Powder Tower. Is your mouth watering yet?
Choco Cafe
This is more of a chocolate shop with an in-built cafe, than the other way round. With an extensive Hot Chocolate menu, and a delightful selection of chocs to buy, this is the perfect place if you have a sweet tooth!
COA Asian food and drink
I'm always suspicious about places which deliver more than 1 type of cuisine - do one and do it well, surely? COA is an exception because they update well-known Asian dishes with a modern twist. Which is, perhaps, their type of cuisine.
K – The Two Brothers
The name sounds unusual but the ambiance and the food at K - The Two Brothers makes that confusion fade away in a cloud of curries, spices and exotic tastes. Their tandoori is some of the best I've ever had.
