Pepe Nero, Bilkova 4, 110 00 Praha 1, tel: 222 315 543 - There is a section of town just behind the Intercontinental Hotel, on the left side of Parizska Street which is what we call Little Italy. For some reason there are many very good italian restaurants here now, all run by Italians for Italians. We were turned onto Pepe Nero by our friend Carlo, who is in charge of the Prague Marathon. They have simply GREAT pizza, probably the best pizza in Prague and it'll surely give any place in Italy a run for its money as well. Pizzas cost between 135 and 250 CZK which won't leave you either hungry or stuffed. Also they have good coffee, but at 50 CZK a cup, it's overpriced. So if you're staying in our Old Town apartment accomodation, check out the Pepe Nero and get yourselves some Pizza Pie.

For fancier dining, C'est La Vie, Ricni 1, Prague 1, Mala Strana, tel: 257 321 511, on the river bank just next to Kampa park and the Charles Bridge Apartment, Kampa. This restaurant has an excellent (but somewhat overpriced) wine list to match its absolutely excellent food. The starters are priced around 200-300 CZK and the entrees from 400 CZK. It's on the high end price-wise for food in Prague, but you certainly won't be disappointed. If you have a chance to enjoy the river during the summer, you'll remember it as your favorite meal in Prague.

The Savoy Café, Vitezna 1, Praha 5 tel: 257 311 561 is one of the more amazing spaces in town. Pretty close to all of the Mala Strana Apartments and, of course Kampa Apartment and Prokopska Apartment, this restaurant is just across the river from the National Theater. The ceilings are unbelievable, having been recently restore to their original art-deco beauty. The new owners, the Ambiente Group, has set this café up as a French-style bistro and although the food is somewhat small and expensive, it’s a beautiful place to enjoy a cup of coffee or some of their excellent opened bottles of wine.

Excellent French food in Stare Mesto comes to you from the Brasserie M, Vladislavova 17, Praha 1, tel: 224 054 070. The tables circle the kitchen which is open and you can watch the chefs and cooks prepare your meal. It’s French style brasserie food, but be prepared to pay a little more than you would were you in France.

If you want to try French food outside, then make a booking at Kampa Park, located at Na Kampe 83, Prague 1, tel. 257 532 685. Another fine Mala Strana dining experience, you can walk here from any of the Vlasska Apartments, Prokopska Apartment or the Kampa Apartment. This is another great restaurant at the high end of the price range for Prague. On the Vltava river with a swell view of the Charles Bridge and an outdoor terrace, it can't be beat for romance and great food. A reservation is a must in the summer, especially if you want to get a table outside.

Just under the castle garden is Palffy Palac, Valdstejnska 14, Prague 1, tel. 257 530 522. Yet another fine Mala Strana dining experience, you can walk here from any of the Vlasska Apartments, Prokopska Apartment or the Kampa Apartment. This restaurant is in a musical academy, hidden up a flight of stone stairs and in a back room. The ceilings are high and in the evening the only source of light on the tables are huge candelabras. Sheet music plasters the walls and (hopefully) Mozart, Brahms, Bach or Beethoven plays in the background. The menu here is small and on the same price level as the first three, but the romance and enchantment here can't be beat anywhere in town. There's also a terrace for the summer months.

For very good Italian cuisine go to a Croatian run place called Kogo, Havelska 27, Prague 1, tel. 224 214 543. They now have two branches, both in Stare Mesto and close to either Olivova Apartment or the Benediktska Apartment. Amazing roasted red peppers as a starter. They also have a good selection of wines and really great pastas and pizzas. Make sure you make a reservation if you're thinking about heading over there.

Our new Favorite place to get duck is called U Deloveho Krize, Stefanikova 48, Praha 5, tel 257 312 389. Just towards Andel out of Mala Strana, you can’t miss with Czech food here, especially beer. Prices are good, and the duck is out of this world. Really. We recommend it for lunch but you can eat dinner here too, but for duck, lunch is better.

If you fancy a curry, there are a couple of good Indian/Pakistani places in town. A particular local favorite is Mailsi, Lipanska 1, Prague 3, tel. 603 466 626 a Pakistani place with hot and spicy curries. They'll spice up the curry as hot as you can stand. The restaurant is out of the center in the Zizkov quarter, just up the street from the tram stop "lipanska" on the 9 tram line.

Young Upwardly Mobile Czechs can be found at Dynamo, Pstrossova 29, Prague 1, tel. 224 932 020. This restaurant won an interior design a few years back and the food is good and reasonably priced. They also stock about 100 kinds of whiskey, mostly single malts, for the whiskey drinker.

Another cool place is Radost FX café Belehradska 120, Praha 2, tel: 224 254 776. This restaurants borders Nove Mesto and Vinohrady and is close to Spanelska Apartment, Olivova Apartment and the Luzicka Apartment. A vegetarian eatery, they serve an eclectic variety of foods and drinks. There’s a lounge attached and a dance club as well, if you want to party late into the night. And if you are out dancing, they start brunch on the weekends at 11H. Probably the best Huevos in town.

The last of our favorites is Stoleti, Karoliny Svetle 21, Prague 1, tel. 222 220 008, which has an interesting and tasty menu and has a good selection of tasty Czech wines. A few outdoor tables on the sidewalk make it a pleasant place to pass the evening in the warmer months.
