Best wine bars in Prague

Taste of Prague Podcast ·

2016/02/25

Sure, Prague nightlife may be mostly associated with Czech beer (and lots of Czech beer), but Czech wine, after a long but troubled past especially during the Communist rule, has been making a big comeback recently. Never heard of Czech wine? No wonder. With a production capped by the EU at about 1% of the French production of wine, there are hardly any exports of Czech and Moravian wine abroad. Yes, we like to keep it all to ourselves. Sorry. And that’s exactly whyvisiting a wine bar is one

Best breakfast in Prague

Taste of Prague Podcast ·

2016/02/07

If you’ve read this blog before, you know we love breakfast and wrote about breakfast in Prague before. We can’t honestly think of a better way to start the day than just relax, let it all hang out, have an opulent breakfast and prepare for what the day has to offer. And because we like breakfast so much, we do fully realize that the "state of breakfast in Prague” is still not ideal. Just look at the thumbnails of the pictures we’ve taken: eggs, eggs and more eggs. Creative dishes for

Our Tokyo trip

Taste of Prague Podcast ·

2016/01/21

When we were planning the trip to Tokyo, we were approaching our stay with respect and a bit of caution. We were intimidated by the different culture, the impenetrable language and rigid customs. Having spent nearly a week in Tokyo, we must say the respect has grown, while the caution disappeared. We absolutely loved our stay in Tokyo. Staying in Tokyo gets you the thrill and excitement of seeing something new and different, and none of the intimidation of seeing something new and different

Best dishes in Prague in 2015

Taste of Prague Podcast ·

2016/01/14

Oh, you’ve got to love annual recaps. They are a fun way of retelling the year, sieving out the events that proved to be, in hindsight, redundant, and leaving the things that will remain relevant for years to come. What were the best restaurants in Prague that opened last year? We’ve already tried to capture the best in our 2015 Prague food scene recap. But now it’s time to get more personal. What were the dishes we liked the most in Prague in 2015? We do have a list of our must-eats in

The Prague food scene in the year 2015: the Recap

Taste of Prague Podcast ·

2016/01/04

You don't realize how good of a year you’ve had until you start counting the venues that have opened and realize that only a few have closed. And that’s what we’ve come to realize when we were writing this summary post, following a tradition we started last year with our 2014 recap. 2015 was indeed a good year. Not a revolutionary year perhaps, but still a year that saw a few openings that did or may still shake up the particular industries. And who knows? In hindsight it may actually prove to

Prague Restaurant Preview: Eska

Taste of Prague Podcast ·

2016/01/01

Not many restaurants opened in Prague this year have stirred so much emotion and caused so many heated discussions as Eska, the latest restaurant by Prague’s ubiquitous Ambiente group of restaurants that already owns and operates such heavyweights as the Lokal pubs, Cafe Savoy, Cestr or La Degustation. Eska is Ambiente’s attempt to redefine what modern casual Czech cuisine is, so of course it got people talking. Ambiente will always find it a bit more difficult to warm the foodie circles up

Prague Christmas Dining Guide: Eating Out on...

Taste of Prague Podcast ·

2015/12/09

If we got a penny for every email we get in November and December asking “Where should we eat on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve?”… we’d have lots of pennies. Yes. Dining out in Prague is hard over Christmas, especially if you don’t like hotel restaurants. (And yes, we don’t particularly like them either.) It’s funny: while the Czechs may form statistically one of the most atheist societies in the world, they do like and celebrate Christmas. Heck, kids write letters to Baby Jesus, because he

Meet a Prague local: Tomas Karpisek of Ambiente

Taste of Prague Podcast ·

2015/11/16

When we talk about Tomas Karpisek, the founder of the ubiquitous Ambiente group of restaurants, on our Prague food tours, we often describe him as the “Steve Jobs of the Prague culinary scene”. Sure, it's overstatement, but it’s not that far off. If there is anyone who sets food trends in the Czech Republic, it’s Tomas. The appearance isn’t that far off, either: we’re yet to see Tomas in something that even barely resembles a business suit. He’s more of a jeans-and-a-t-shirt guy. Also, just

Taste of Prague in Austin, Texas

Taste of Prague Podcast ·

2015/11/13

Keep Austin weird. We’re not sure we’ve seen any major weirdness in Austin, but the truth is we had fun in the Texas capital. We stayed for four short days and found Austin to be a city of contrasts and unlike the American cities we’ve visited before. Here’s some tips for a visiting European.

Taste of Prague in New York City, Part II

Taste of Prague Podcast ·

2015/11/10

In the second part of our three-part series of our New York City Food Report, we did make a point of visiting some NYC institutions. We just wanted to benchmark the classics against what we have in Prague. And eat some great food, too. This is where we went. (To see part I, please click here.)

Taste of Prague Travels: Momofuku Ko, NYC

Taste of Prague Podcast ·

2015/11/07

Two Michelin stars. The foundation of David Chang’s status as a chef and empire as a businessman. 13 courses. A bill for two equal to more than one half of the monthly average income in the Czech Republic. Worth it? Would we go again? Yes please!!!

Taste of Prague in New York City

Taste of Prague Podcast ·

2015/11/05

We’re in New York City. We promised ourselves we would come back soon after we left last November. No matter what you may think of it, the city is undeniably cool and you can’t argue with the food and the shops and the people and the sights and all. We love it. So we’re back.

Prague Restaurant Preview: Aromi, Reopened

Taste of Prague Podcast ·

2015/10/30

Where other restaurants come and go, Aromi has been a staple on the Prague dining scene. One of the first good Prague restaurants that could be called a "destination dining” place: more than just a mere neighborhood Italian place, Aromi has been attracting successful locals from near and afar despite being located in a residential district far from the areas exposed to mass tourism. It was also the place that gave birth to Riccardo Lucque’s empire of Italian-themed restaurants and bistros. And

A while ago, we wrote a post about our Prague Foodie Map. So? What’s up with it? Well, we have an announcement to make. The time has come. The map is ready. As of today, we have it ready for you, and you can find it in a few selected establishments we will reveal as we go. It’s an extension of our blog. On paper.

Best Cafés in Prague (2015) - Specialty Coffee Guide...

Taste of Prague Podcast ·

2015/10/13

It’s funny how times change. A few days ago, a guest of our Prague food tours tweeted, having visited the Prague Coffee Festival, "Prague is becoming one of the world's coffee capitals.” Now, while this may be a bit of an exaggeration, the truth is that we are not longer traveling for great coffee outside of Prague. Oh no. Today, we are coming back to Prague for great coffee. Cafes in Prague have gone a long way in the past few years. While it was nearly impossible to get filter coffee in

Prague (not only) food events coming to you this October

Taste of Prague Podcast ·

2015/10/07

If you’re arriving in Prague in October and wish to taste some Prague food with Prague locals, you’re in luck. Yup, food events are just THE thing in Prague right now, and if you thought you’d go on a diet after a busy street food summer, Prague’s answer is a resounding NO. This is a small recap of the most interesting events coming to Prague in October. There’s food, coffee, and we’ve added two events that are not related to food but can build and appetite. And that’s good enough for us

Why is music in Prague restaurants so bad?

Taste of Prague Podcast ·

2015/10/05

Yeah. We know. We’d like to know, too. We have to answer lots of questions during our Prague food tours but some of them are asked more often than others. “Why do they only play old American music in restaurants here? And why is it 80s or 90s music?” Oh, if we had a nickel for every time somebody asked us this question on the tour, we’d have… well, it would be enough to buy a discounted Ace of Base CD for sure. The truth is that if Prague lags behind other cool cities around the world in

We're on a three-day trip to Copenhagen. Three days? Isn't that too short? We absolutely agree. We're eating our way through it as we write this, so we'll post some pictures before we have some detailed text. Have a look inside at the gallery so far. The pics include some captions.

Must-eats at Prague's Vietnamese Sapa Market

Taste of Prague Podcast ·

2015/09/15

You may have heard that Prague has a sizable Vietnamese community, and the plethora of Pho and Banh Mi places, and the convenience stores run by Vietnamese owners, only bear witness to the fact. Due to the shared Communist past and the educational exchanges arranged during these regimes, the influx of Vietnamese students to the Czech Republic has created a healthy community that serves as the basis for new Vietnamese immigration. What you may not have heard (unless you watched the Prague
