PRAGUE FOOD BLOG
We have opinions too, you know!
We get single travelers on our Prague food tours all the time. And they always ask the same thing: „where should I eat later on, as a solo traveller?“ We have some thoughts.
We always tend to recommend a place with countertop or bar seating, or something small and not intimidating with excellent service that will take good care of you. Or something super casual with tight or shared seating that makes it easy to blend in. We are also adding in the grand café as a separate category - this is ideal for people-watching.

We run food tours in Prague. We’ve been running food tours in Prague for nearly 15 years now. And you often have questions about them. So this series aims to answer some of them. We are fans of full disclosure, and we think honesty is the best policy, so here we go, let’s break that fourth wall.

That’s a new exciting restaurant every two weeks! Sure, prices are up, rents too, hiring is hell, but hey, that still did not stop at least 26 crazy individuals to open a restaurant in Prague. Let’s get right into it. What are the most exciting new restaurants in Prague in 2025?

Our 2025 Prague Christmas and NYE dining guide is out.
Christmas dining can be difficult in Prague - first, the city can be flooded with tourists, so the capacity is strained. On top of that, many restaurants close or at least shorten their opening hours, so finding a seat, especially for Christmas Eve dinner, can be a challenge.
If you’re reading this now, you don’t have a reservation for your Christmas meals, and want to eat a meal that makes sense within the context of Christmas in Prague, you should read the following and act quickly. Some places listed below may already have very limited capacity, or accept bookings on their wait list only.
