Seriously dont eat on wenceslas square (pragues main shopping boulevard) unless you enjoy paying 320 czk for goulash that tastes like cafeteria food the restaurants there exist purely to extract money from tired tourists who dont know better

Walk literally 5 minutes toward vinohrady neighborhood or cross the river to karlín and prices drop by 40% instantly same exact czech dishes like svíčková and roasted duck but prepared by chefs who actually care about the food instead of maximizing tourist turnover locals avoid wenceslas square restaurants for obvious reasons

If youre genuinely stuck there grab a street sausage from the vendors near the metro entrance or duck into a small pub on the side streets but please dont fall for the restaurants with english menus and photos of food those are designed to catch desperate tourists who havent done their research

Best move walk toward náměstí míru in vinohrady find restaurants like lokál or u kunstátu where czechs actually eat authentic food at reasonable prices your photos will look better too because the interiors have character instead of generic tourist restaurant vibes
