What to eat and drink in Prague
Expect to taste the local staples. Ones to look for:
- Svíčková
- Beef sirloin in a creamy root-vegetable sauce with dumplings, cranberries and cream.
- Trdelník
- Dough wrapped around a spit, roasted and coated in sugar; sold to visitors more than eaten by locals.
- Goulash
- A hearty paprika-spiced beef stew; the Hungarian original is more of a soup.
- Knedlíky
- Czech bread or potato dumplings, sliced and served to soak up gravy.
- Smažený sýr
- A thick slice of cheese breaded and fried, served with tartar sauce and chips.
How to pick a good food tour
- Skip a big meal beforehand: most tours serve the equivalent of lunch or dinner across six to ten stops.
- Small groups of 12 or fewer get served faster and fit into tiny counters and bars.
- Check what's included. Some tours count drinks as stops, others charge for them on the day.
- Ask about dietary swaps before you book. Many tours can replace meat or gluten dishes if they know ahead.
