Havelská Koruna

Visit this traditional cafeteria for an authentic and affordable Czech meal, like the fried cheese (smažený sýr) with tartar sauce and boiled potatoes, or the fruit dumplings (ovocné knedlíky).

In their own words: “We sat down in a very vintage location. We are at Havelská Koruna. This is a local traditional cafeteria. You get your own tray, you push it, you choose your dishes, they sign your little note with what you've ordered. And, yeah, it's basically affordable local Czech cuisine. Very quick service. And for a fraction of the price from what you would pay in a very touristy spot.”

Visit this central canteen near Wenceslas Square for a full traditional Czech meal (soup, main, side) at an unbeatable price.

In their own words: “Our next recommendation is a veteran among the cheap eats in Prague. It's called Havelská Koruna, which means Havel's Crown... This is the place to go if you want to try traditional Czech food... for 159 CZK, you can get a soup, main course, and a little bite. It is pretty popular because it is very central; it is located right on Wenceslas Square.”
