Café Café
A tasty miracle in the heart of Prague. Easy to miss hard to forget! There are two ways to get here. One entrance is just a few meters from Jungmans square through the entrance to the Julius Meinl market (Street 28. Rijna.) The other entrance is one block over at Rytirska 10 (the birth place of Alois Senefelder- inventor of the lithograph).

The menu offers prices ranging from...

Osmicka Bar and Restaurant

The appetizers we tried – bland French Onion Soup and doughy onion rings – were disappointing but everything else made up for it. I was offered shark steak the night I was there as the daily special, the first time I’ve seen such an offering in Prague, and it was delicious. The other notable of the evening was the Turkey Casserole with spinach and crabmeat in broccoli sauce. {loadposition content_adsensecontent} The service is friendly, quick and attentive. The interior of the basement space is...
