Pálffy Palác
Climb the stairs to this restaurant and there’s little indication that beyond the large front doors could exist such a Bohemian treasure. Dining in the private salon below a golden chandelier and baroque gilded mouldings is very special, if charmingly frayed around the edges. However, the food is unlikely to blow you away.
Palffy Palace Club, Valdštejnská 14
(+420 224 934 416)
Universal
If you're in the mood for a low-key evening, you can't beat the excellent food, such as salads, classic European main courses, huge side orders of scalloped potatoes, lemon tarts, and sweet profiteroles, served up in this reasonably-priced bistro.
V Jircharich, 6
(+420 222 221 155)
V Zátiší
Stylish, contemporary restaurant and wine bar. Award-winning V Zátiší dishes up refined Czech and international food to a loyal group of locals, diplomats and business folk.
Liliova 1, Old Town
(+420 222 326 203)
Pravda
A bar and restaurant that would be equally at home in Paris, London or New York, this stunning venue is beloved by a sophisticated clientele for its cocktails and international cuisine, which draws inspiration from everywhere from Asia to Norway and Russia.
Pařížská 17
(+420 296 826 112)
Kampa Park
This popular restaurant serves traditional Czech food as well as French and Italian delicacies. For a special occasion, book a table overlooking the river and St Charles Bridge.
Na Kampě, 8b
(+420 296 826 107)
Cowboys Steak and Cocktails
The bright lights and cowhide trims of this light-hearted restaurant make it an obvious choice on the tourist circuit, but if you really crave a burger-and-chips kind of meal there are worse places for lunch than on its huge terrace right by the ramparts.
Nerudova, 40

Opatovicka, 3
(+420 224 819 701)
Kolkovna
For a combination of art-nouveau style and traditional Czech food, head to this bar and restaurant, built in a former printing office.
