Brunch in Prague: A Guide to the Best Spots

Enjoying a spot of brunch in Prague is a must-do experience for any foodie visiting the Czech Republic’s historic capital. As you might have guessed, though, brunch isn’t necessarily a traditional Czech dining experience!

Yet, eateries in Prague have found a way to fuse this popular late-morning meal with the city’s culinary history, something which I’ve raved about on my Prague food tours. In this guide, I’ll let you in on all of the best spots for brunch in Prague that I’ve been fortunate enough to dine at!

Best Brunch Spots in Prague

Cafe Savoy

Cafe Savoy is an extraordinary venue for brunch in Prague, and the opulent wooden decor and high, chandelier-filled ceilings are as gorgeous as the delectable food.

I went for one of their flaky, savory croissants. As soon as I tasted the creamy scrambled eggs and earthy black truffles packed inside, I knew I’d made the right decision.

Eska

After a sensational brunch in Prague’s beloved industrial-style eatery, Eska, I wasn’t at all surprised to learn that it has made its way onto the Michelin guide.

I’d never had an omelet quite like the one I had here. The fluffy interior showcased the silky cheese filling, and their warm, crusty homemade bread and decadent butter were the perfect accompaniments.

Cafefin

It might have been the exposed brick walls and mismatched furniture that lured me into Cafefin, but their eclectic international-inspired menu is what really stuck with me.

The fig toast here is a must-try, and I’m not sure what component I enjoyed the most. Their jam-like figs, salty prosciutto, and fruity parmesan created the most vibrant flavors, complementing the toasted bread and crispy pickled onions.

Mlýnec

Mlýnec is among the most stylish, upscale spots in Prague. I was fortunate enough to experience their eight-course brunch service, and they even offer vouchers online if you’re keen to treat yourself or a loved one during your stay in the city!

Their trout was the highlight for me. It was so delicate and tender, with the peppery arugula and spicy chorizo boosting the mild flavors.

Manifesto Market

The colorful and lively Manifesto Market offers a unique brunch experience. Their weekend brunch events allow you to choose a dish from some of the diverse vendors and team it with bottomless cocktails.

I played it safe and went for a crisp and sweet mimosa, pairing this with crunchy nachos drenched in tangy sour cream, zingy pico de gallo, and juicy shredded chicken.

Restaurant and Bar Features for the Perfect Brunch

Mama Shelter

If it’s an upmarket, all-you-can-eat brunch in Prague you’re looking for, you can’t miss the buffet service at the swanky Mama Shelter Hotel.

There were endless dishes available here, but I’d be lying if I said the arancini wasn’t my favorite. These fried rice balls were filled with gooey cheese and zesty tomato and tasted like they’d come straight from the streets of Sicily!

Mama Shelter (€€€) – Veletržní 1502/20, 170 00 Praha 7-Holešovice, Czechia.

Hilton’s Zinc

Seafood fans have to try the brunch buffet in the effortlessly chic Zinc Restaurant in the Hilton Hotel. Meats, salads, and sweets are also plentiful, but the oceanic fare is undoubtedly the star.

I kept going back for more of the lobster. Each piece was succulent and firm, with a subtle hint of brininess and saline undertones.

Hilton’s Zinc (€€€€) – V Celnici 7, 110 00 Nové Město, Czechia.

Unique Brunch Experiences in Prague

Monkey Bar

Monkey Bar has quickly become the go-to spot for brunch in Prague. This trendy restaurant and bar features bold furnishings, a diverse menu, and live music. During my visit, I was lucky enough to enjoy my meal with a pianist playing in the background!

The food was as impressive as the music. I chose the pulled veal burger, and the refined beefy flavors were a perfect match for the buttery cheddar, fluffy bun, and fiery kimchi mayo. I also sampled their cherry bellini, which was a sour and punchy twist on this classic fizzy cocktail.

Asian Temple

Asian Temple is a cozy yet high-end spot offering fusion cuisine in an ambient environment, setting it apart from many of the other brunch spots in Prague. Before I even looked at the menu, I was won over by the red and gold decor, soaring ceilings, and glowing chandeliers.

Everything I tried from their buffet-style spread was incredible, from the ultra-fresh oysters to the endless sushi varieties. That said, I think the nutty edamame, which was doused in pungent truffle salt, and the smokey, melt-in-your-both ribs were the stand-outs.

Tips for Enjoying Brunch in Prague

• If lengthy queues and lively atmospheres aren’t your thing, it’s best to arrive early when the brunch service starts.
• I suggest making a reservation if the restaurant you’re eager to visit allows it as many of the best brunch spots in Prague get crowded, especially at weekends.
• Keep in mind that some venues are walk-in only. You may need to wait in line or leave your contact details and wait for a call when a table becomes available.
• Plenty of eateries offer specific dishes for those with dietary requirements. However, it’s always a good idea to check out menus in advance before choosing where to dine.

Conclusion

If brunch in Prague wasn’t already on your to-do list for your next visit, I hope it is now! There’s something for all tastes in this magical city, from acclaimed, aesthetic brunch spots to little-known cafes with creative menus.
