Gourmet products local specialties and wines Czech Republic

The best address for gourmets. Impossible to resist the various cakes, pies, croissants and others. We also make a very good jam sold in jars for an original souvenir or a gourmet gift. You will find delicious salads and sandwiches of local products or homemade lemonades. Between two visits and when it is cold, the place is nice for a hot chocolate, tea or mulled wine break. Don't hesitate to go there for breakfast. The address is a pastry shop, bakery and bistro.

This establishment, located in the heart of Josefov, is an ideal place to have breakfast, if your hotel does not offer any, or a quick lunch. You will find all kinds of French pastries (croissants, chocolate breads), various cakes, muffins, pastries, breads and, of course, teas and coffees. At lunchtime, we offer beautiful pies, quiches, salads or sandwiches to compose, then consume on site or sit on a local bench accompanied by a fruit juice, tea or coffee. A good address.

Prague's newest shopping mall opened its doors opposite the Municipal House on Republic Square. It's not the biggest in town (it doesn't have its own multiplex!), but it does boast a large number of fashion boutiques and a very large bookshop, well-stocked with books on Prague and the Czech Republic in several languages. The entire top floor is taken up by fast-food restaurants. The Albert supermarket is a good opportunity in the city center for those who do their own cooking.

General food. Ideal if you're renting and do your own cooking. Albert stores are usually found in the basement of all Prague's major shopping centers (Palladium, Flora, Novy Smich...).

A paradise for gourmets and sweet tooth lovers! Café Millème is one of the best pastry establishments in the Czech capital, among the very good French reference establishments (ah, these macaroons...) but at prices far from the French standards. You can also come and sit down for a quick lunch with sandwiches and salads made with seasonal products and made to the minute, a farandole of fresh fruit juice and a few daily specials depending on the market. Good, beautiful and healthy!

Nove mesto is the night owl district, and the most hard-working of them will probably be happy to find a French-style bakery open in the early morning! Impossible to miss, the smell of pastries floats in the street like in a real Paris district! The showcase of Petite France is full of croissants, chocolate breads, raisin breads and brioches. You can enjoy them on the spot over a good cup of coffee, and also try the very beautiful pastries, a little creamy but very honourable.

In the first room, ordinary, two small tables are always taken, because people come from outside to buy tea from all over the world and accessories to prepare it well. The second room is dark, filled with incense and oriental music. In the background, a coffee table and cushions await you, and the choice is great: white, green, young and black, natural or fruit tea, from Japan, India, Sri Lanka... The names, such as The Secret of Three Treasures, The Memories of Jerusalem or Perfume of Kashmir, are already a temptation.

Half American-style bar, half Czech antique shop, this coffee is resolutely international. We drink our espresso by leafing through old books. You can also browse through fashion magazines, read the billboard in English for apartment and course offers or even eat (very good soups and sandwiches). In short, the coffee-bookstore of the Czechs and expats of the district. Its success has led it to expand with a cosy little room and, for sunny days, a pleasant terrace on the pavement. Perfect for landing, reading, getting to know each other...

Vegetable and biological products are tasted there.

Are you tired of the fat food and unbalanced meals that characterize Czech cuisine, which is excellent on the other hand, but is indeed high in cholesterol? Do dishes in sauce lead your average daytime walk? If you have a small kitchen in your rental and want to cook something healthy and organic by yourself, you will find in this small supermarket in the city centre something to quickly fill up with fresh and seasonal produce. For a solid dose of vitamins in the heart of old Prague.

It's the biggest market in town. There are food stands (fruit, vegetables, meat) at unbeatable prices, kilometres of aisles (covered, under sheds, outside) where cheap clothes are sold. Also tool shops, sports and camping equipment at very low prices. You can also eat there at the many terraces of shops serving beer and sausages, which are very numerous and always very cheap.

Havelský market takes place every day, along the length of this pretty street/place lined with arcades reminiscent of its long trading tradition. Of modest size, it has existed since 1232. Fruits, vegetables, a lot of delicatessen and cheese are still sold there, but the atmosphere is becoming more and more touristic. There are more and more souvenir stands. There are toys, paintings, gingerbread and, at Christmas, Christmas tree decorations.

Located in the basement of the Černý Slon (Black Elephant) hotel is a wine house; it is a cellar where wine lovers can find some great names as well as many discoveries and favorites. In the first line are obviously the best vintages of the country, but you will also find many French, Spanish or Italian wines, always from excellent vintages and selected according to the best vintages. Tastings are regularly organized, you can find the program at the hotel reception.

There's no change of scenery to be expected here in this huge, practically new shopping center with its 2-storey Tesco (open daily from 7 a.m. to midnight), countless well-known fashion boutiques, underground parking lot, escalators, multiplex cinema, food-center and more. All just 2 stations from downtown. There are also a number of souvenir shops where you can buy souvenirs at lower prices than in the city center, and a large bookshop where you can find books on Prague and the Czech Republic in several languages.

This family store in the center of Prague on Václavské Square offers all kinds of Czech and foreign spirits - don't miss the traditional becherovka - but also cold cuts, cheese and delicatessen products from local farms and never from large-scale distribution. The dynamic and smiling team will make you taste wines and brandies to make your choice and will advise you to choose the best product corresponding to your tastes.

Small bakery in the center of the village. A large choice of breads and pastries is offered, either to take away or to eat on the spot. You can also find sandwiches made in season, usually well filled and tasty. Ideal for a snack or to refuel if you are camping. Of course, the establishment is often crowded with visitors to the castle. Avoid the crowds during meal times and buy your food in advance to eat later, which will save you a long wait.

Affiliated with the eponymous bar on the other side of the square Jiřího z Poděbrad, BeerGeek Pivotéka offers hundreds of beers in bottles from Czech microbreweries and from all over the world. Original beers are also available for draught tasting. The English-speaking staff will be able to provide you with expert information. A dream shop for hop aficionados who dream of discovering new confidential labels that are unavailable for export. A nice selection of unpasteurized beers too.

Located on the square Jiřího z Poděbrad the farmer's market of Jiřák is a real institution in the district. You will find delicious fresh produce, freshly prepared dishes and local crafts. Everything comes from the farms located in the Prague region. It's fresh, it's local, it's seasonal and the atmosphere is warm and friendly. Pleasant in summer when you refresh yourself with good fruit juices and in winter when you come to lay your hands on a glass of mulled wine! Unmissable, even if you don't live in the neighbourhood.

A highly trendy place located on the banks of the Vltava River, the Náplavka Farmers' Market offers excellent fresh local produce every Saturday as well as numerous stands that prepare various culinary specialities from all over the world. This place is very popular in the summer, when the culinary stroll along the market stalls is often accompanied by a few beers and sausages on the go at the nearby stands
