Explore Prague's Wenceslas Square and New Town

Taste of Prague Podcast ·

2022/01/20

When we started our Prague Foodie Tours at the top of the Wenceslas Square in Prague’s New Town, showing its historical importance was easy: we’d just whip out our iPad and show photos of people celebrating Czechoslovakia’s independence in 1918, the Nazi troops parading on the square in 1938, the Soviet tanks in 1968, and the Velvet Revolution that ended Communism in late 1989. Yes, Wenceslas Square, one of Prague’s natural crossroads and a place when the locals meet to venture into the

New Prague openings of 2021 - Have you been?

Taste of Prague Podcast ·

2022/01/01

At the end of every year, we write a piece on new openings in Prague. And every year we’re surprised by how many good or decent places actually opened. And boy oh boy, while 2021 sure was a difficult year, we have edited our count down to 50, which means nearly one opening per week. Not too shabby. And this list is by no means exhaustive - it’s just a list of places that have entered our radar and are or are supposed to be good. And like every year, we’ve made a cheat sheet for you to print

Covid Situation and Restrictions in the Czech...

Taste of Prague Podcast ·

2021/12/28

So here we go again. When we posted our last post about the covid situation and restrictions in late June, we may have honestly thought it would be the last one: after a slower rollout, vaccines were widely available to anyone who wanted them, our infection numbers were low, and the future was bright. Well, some five months and one general election later, we entered a pretty brutal fifth wave in November 2021: the number of infections were breaking all previous records, and our hospitals

2021 Prague Christmas Dining and NYE Dining Guide

Taste of Prague Podcast ·

2021/12/22

So after last year’s Christmas lockdown, take-out boxes and a whole lotta eggnog, Christmas dining is back in 2021. We’ve been personally eating out on Christmas Eve for years now, for one simple reason: we can’t be bothered. Spending the special day in the kitchen, alternating between swearing and drinking, and then trying to avoid all talk of politics when the in-laws get in (add more wine) and listen to them talk about how „grandma’s potato salad wasn’t done like this“? (Is there any wine

First Snow in Prague, Fall 2021 (Photos)

Taste of Prague Podcast ·

2021/12/04

Not much to write here, but we had the first snow in Prague here today, so when we woke up to it, we did what we always do - ran to the Charles Bridge to take some pictures. So here you go, enjoy if you like snowy pics of old buildings, this will be for you.

Taste of Prague’s Local Christmas Buying Guide 2021

Taste of Prague Podcast ·

2021/12/02

So Christmas is around the corner and let’s be honest here: if you want to buy online but haven’t got around to it, and Christmas is three/two/one week(s) away from now, don’t fool yourself: that gift ain’t never arriving on time for Christmas. (Thank you, broken global delivery chains and Covid!) So it’s a good idea to shop local. And that’s where we step in: we have recently recorded a podcast about Czech-made gift ideas, but it’s in Czech only, and if you don’t listen to our podcast (why

Prague Michelin Guide 2021

Taste of Prague Podcast ·

2021/11/25

So the new Prague Michelin guide is out, uncharacteristically in the autumn, but hey - anything’s possible in a covid year. If you follow us for a while, you may know we love to hate the Prague Michelin guide. On one hand, it undeniably helps the businesses included, and you can’t argue with the heritage, but there are some very weak points about it - the writing is average at best (try to read a few to a Prague foodie to see if they recognise the restaurant), the categories are chaotic

Prague off the beaten path: Vršovice district

Taste of Prague Podcast ·

2021/11/16

Vršovice may not be at the top of everyone’s Prague to do list, but Vršovice doesn’t mind. This Prague neighbourhood, nestled safely behind the grab-all-the-attention Vinohrady, is a hidden gem that feels a bit sleepy / more neighbourly than most of Prague’s residential districts. Full of parks, easy slopes and great views, Vršovice is perfect for half-a-day stroll far away from the madding crowds of the historical centre, and a glimpse at what real life in Prague outside of the historical

Our Prague guide to St Martin's Goose and Wine

Taste of Prague Podcast ·

2021/11/09

Easy. St Martin’s Day falls on the 11th of November and it celebrates St Martin of Tours, one of the first „non-Martyr saints“, a soldier-turned-Bishop who lived in the 4th Century. There are many legends surrounding his life, but only a few are relevant for us specifically. Namely, it’s St Martin goose, St Martin rolls, St Martin wines, and St Martin arriving on a white horse. Traditionally, St Martin is said to be arriving on a white horse, meaning that November 11 tends to coincide with

Prague off the beaten path: Letna district

Taste of Prague Podcast ·

2021/10/13

Letna district is arguably one of the best places to live in Prague. It benefits from its location just across the river from the busy historical centre, which means you’re near it all if you want to, but not in the middle of it all if you don’t. Nestled in between two parks, the Letenský park and the Stromovka, the area is great for families: there’s always somewhere to go or something to do, and far from traffic, too. Also, the people of Letna create a lively, healthy community, as witnessed

Taste of Brno by Taste of Prague

2021/08/19

Taste of Prague writing a piece about Brno? Yes, people from Prague tend to make fun of Brno, the second biggest city in the country and the Moravian capital, but it’s a friendly rivalry that should never cross the level of friendly trash-talk among peers. The fact is that Brno is absolutely fantastic and worth your attention if you are visiting the Czech Republic. Here’s some basic information about Brno and what’s so great about it.

Czech Republic Covid Situation and Restrictions

Taste of Prague Podcast ·

2021/06/29

We have realised information about the Covid situation and Covid restrictions in the Czech Republic - written in English - is scarce. So we’ve decided we will write a blog post about what is closed in the Czech Republic and what is open, if you can enter the Czech Republic and on what conditions, what are the current Covid and vaccination numbers, and so on. We will be update this on a weekly basis until it is no longer needed. (Which will be hopefully soon.) Enough chit chat, let’s do

Prague Walks with a purpose I: the Baba Housing Estate

Taste of Prague Podcast ·

2021/06/10

The Baba housing estate encompasses 33 buildings built in early 1930s. It is one of six projects of this kind in Central Europe, but Prague’s project was different: the investor had bought the land and approached selected architects and selected clients from Prague’s cultural and financial elites, so that each building was built specifically for a particular client, and usually the villa bears the client’s name. We will not get into details about each house’s architect, purpose or client -

Our favorite Prague spots for outdoor dining

Taste of Prague Podcast ·

2021/05/27

With restaurants in Prague open for outdoor dining, and their opening for indoor dining so far uncertain, the hottest question is town right now is where to eat outside. So below are some of our favorites. Before we get to the list, just two notes: 1. The odds of your favorite restaurant having outdoor seating are pretty high: restaurants knew they would be allowed to open for outdoor seating first, so they made sure to have at least a few tables open outside. If you’re not

Our trip to Mallorca

Taste of Prague Podcast ·

2021/05/05

The TL;DR version: We went to Mallorca. You should go, too. Soon. It seems that 2021 is the year Covid has forced us to discover places that were under our radar previously. We went to Dubai in February, reluctantly, and we really liked it. Now we’ve been to Mallorca, and we loved it too. We’ll have to confess: if you said „Mallorca“ to us, we’d think beaches, resorts, German retirees, maybe Rafael Nadal? We didn’t know much about the island, and did not expect much. But it was a direct

Natural Wine Sellers That Deliver

Taste of Prague Podcast ·

2021/04/15

Given the interrupted wine-making tradition and a fairly young audience with affluence and a knack for all things cool and new, Prague has always been a haven for natural wines - if there is one area where Prague has lead rather than followed the world, it must be natural wines. But the coronavirus pandemic means that most of the drinking has been happening at home over the last year or so, and since the pandemic has been long, and our April of 2021 incredibly cold and unwelcoming, we thought

Young Czech Chefs to Look Forward To

Taste of Prague Podcast ·

2021/04/07

So here we are, past Easter, at what seems to be the tail end of yet another wave of Covid, but things strangely look a bit more optimistic this time around (perhaps because it can’t be that bad anymore, can it?). The Czech Republic has been either shut or locked down since October 2020 (with the exception of two weeks in early December), and the state of emergency is set to end in less than a week, and some restrictions will be lifted, with hopefully more to follow. So it’s time to look into

Eating Alone Together XIX - the Last Supper with...

Taste of Prague Podcast ·

2021/04/07

Our Eating Alone Together series of dinners have come to an end. It was good while it lasted, but it’s time to move on to other projects. [Sob. We’ll keep you posted.] We want to thank everyone who’s ever bought a ticket and joined us in supporting local restaurants we love: we had loads of great food from independent chefs and kitchens, and loads of fun chatting online after the dinners. In total, this is the 19th dinner - and the last - dinner we are serving. We’ve served well over 500

Prague Easter Meals and Easter Specials 2021

Taste of Prague Podcast ·

2021/04/01

Czech Easter is a spring holiday that is still bound by a lot of traditions, although the religious aspect of it has subsided in time given the fact that Czechs don’t really do organized religion very much. (According to the latest census, only about 11% of the Czechs said they were actively religious.) The most peculiar tradition - and one that is the hardest to explain to foreign guests of our Prague food tours without raised eyebrows or bursts of laughter - is the pomlázka, where men whip
