The Prague food scene in the year 2014: the Recap

The Prague food scene in the year 2014: the Recap

Food projects we hope will continue in 2015

Street Food Festival. From its very first edition in the Holesovice district, the Street Food Festival was an instant success: perfectly organized food event with lots of young talent cooking great food. So great, actually, that we ended up stuck in traffic on the D1 motorway for two hours on our way to the Brno edition while watching Instagram photos of the great bites we would never be able to taste because they were sold out before we actually got there. Great events with great people and food, and we can’t wait for the festivals in 2015!   


Where to eat in Prague over the Christmas holidays

Where to eat in Prague over the Christmas holidays

Just like towards the end of any other year, the hottest question any foreign visitor - or a local for that matter - in Prague should ask in this cold weather is… where do I eat on Christmas Eve? What do I do on New Year’s Eve? Will the restaurants close for the holidays? You see, while Czech may be statistically one of the most atheist societies in the world, we still do celebrate Christmas and nearly everything shuts down for Christmas Eve especially. Which means that if you are hungry on Christmas Eve and don’t have a reservation or don’t like hotel restaurants or gas stations, you will probably stay hungry until Christmas Day.


Winter Prague Tips, Day 4: Fast Food and a Movie

Winter Prague Tips, Day 4: Fast Food and a Movie

Still cold? We continue with our perfect winter day in Prague. So far, we had breakfast and coffee, and continued with a visit to the gallery and a bowl of soup. Then we skated and played ping-pong. This is the fourth of a series of six articles.

Winter Prague Tips, Day 2: Gallery and Soup

This is the second post of a series about things to do in Prague when you are freezing. For the previous post, please click here. We started with breakfast and coffee.

Having ordered tea to go at Novy svet cafe, we have safely reached the Brusnice tram stop. Nothing special about that one, really. We tuck in the covered waiting area and wait for the tram. We have two optional routes for our perfect winter day: either the Rudolfinum gallery in the centre, or the Dox centre in the Holesovice district. 


Winter Prague Tips, Day 1: Breakfast, Coffee and a Walk

Winter Prague Tips, Day 1: Breakfast, Coffee and a Walk

Your grandpa knew it and we know it: to survive a cold winter day, you have to start with a proper breakfast. We mean, you know how much energy it takes to shiver, cry and think of the summer? A lot, that’s how many. So you need to get a big breakfast to start your cold, winter, helpless day.

You can see the places we like for breakfast in Prague in this post, but we probably eat our breakfast the most at Cafe Savoy. We actually have a routine: we book a place at the Savoy, eat our food there and then sneak out and have coffee at Cafe Lounge nearby. Neither of the two places know that we cheat on them with the other, so please don’t tell!


December Tastes of Prague: Zuzi and Jan of Taste of Prague. Yes, we're back.

December Tastes of Prague: Zuzi and Jan of Taste of Prague. Yes, we're back.

Yes, we are officially back in Prague now. We have returned from our November US trip. How was it? It was absolutely fantastic. Could have easily spent two months there. We learnt a lot and brought back lots of inspiration and ideas for our tours going forward. (You can read about our first three days in New York City and our full weeks in Portland and San Francisco herehere and here respectively, and we will be posting about the rest later on.) 

But now we are back in Prague and we are taking back our social media and blog, despite the pleas on our Instagram feed that Bara and Tomas, who took over our social media in the fourth week of our vacation, stay and keep posting instead of us forever (thank you for that, by the way, we appreciate it). But we will continue in the same vein as the previous couples who took over our blog and social media in November, and post a series of specific tips each day for the week ahead.  


November Tastes of Prague: Week 5 - Misa and Martin of Scuk

November Tastes of Prague: Week 5 - Misa and Martin of Scuk

If you have been following our blog recently, you know by now that we have left to travel throughout the USA for the entire month of November and have let some awesome Prague local couples blog and post on our behalf. Now we are entering the fifth and the last week of our “November Tastes of Prague” project. It is hard to follow in the footsteps of Martina and Honza of Kurator, Eliska and Lukas of Couple of Prague, Marcela and Igor, and Bara and Tomas, but we are sure Misa and Martin will bring their A game to the table.
