Price range: Cheap and cheerful

Mansson’s Bakery

A tiny place in charming Josefov which serves great pastries, coffee and freshly baked bread? Yes please! Mansson's also have sandwiches and a few other options too, if you're so inclined.

Tigelleria Mille Lire

Small venues tend to rely on outside seating – and warmer weather – to make ends meet, so I expect winter is always harsh on them. Still, size is no

WAID Coffee and Bar

The relaxed vibe at WAID bar is not quite "student digs" but isn't far off either. They make a mean Vesper Martini which is top of my wishlist, and their pricing isn't expensive either. Which just goes to show that you can find great cocktails and atmosphere if you move 500 metres out of the city centre.

Revir Karlin

There's a relaxed, semi-industrial vibe to some Prague outside venues. While I'm a fan of fancy decor, the laid-back attitude has its charms especially in the summer months.

Mr Hot Dog

Is it fast food? Kind of, but better than the major chains. The sliders - and the vegan options - are what you'd come back for.

Bistro Bobovka

With a relaxed atmosphere and a great view, Bistro Bobovka is a perfect out-of-centre place. There's plenty for kids too; perhaps in warmer months when the bobsleigh is available!

Pod Parou

Fine dining is lovely but sometimes I want a burger and a beer. Is that too much to ask? Set in a pedestrianised area, Pod Parou hits the spot. Cheers!

Falafelova

It's tiny but this pun-tastic restaurant has delicious freshly made food that's a treat. Hidden just off Dlouha, it's excellent as a lunch option too.

Share Sweet & Espresso Bar

Vegan desserts don't have to be tasteless and grubby. Share Sweet has a great selection - but the lemon cake remains my staunch favourite.

Emoi

Finding great food outside a city isn't easy. If you're in the Liberec region, Emoi has some of the best Pad Thai you'll enjoy.
