What a boar!
by iwys about Restaurace U Supa
Sorry, just couldn't resist that pun.
Restaurace U Supa is a very traditional, lively, Czech inn, where they serve huge portions of meat, dumplings and pickled red cabbage, washed down with draft beer. Their speciality is a whole roast pig roasted in lard and beer. U supa means vulture! For the more weight-conscious diners, they also serve salads and pasta dishes. There is a salad bar available for 95Kc or 4.90 euros.
It has a varied, reasonably priced menu, with most of the main courses costing between 6 and 10 euros. Roast pork shoulder with sauerkraut and dumplings is 6.60 euros. Apple strudel and icecream is 3.90 euros.
It's packed with local couples and families at night and inside it's a bit like a scene from a Pieter Bruegel painting.
Open: midday - midnight I preferred the roast duck to the boar, which was a rather dry and tough.

Czech Inn or Miss Sophie's
by mtandon
Hello All,
I will be prague for two days. Hence, what's the best between the two hostels for 1 night, in terms of location, safety and quality of the place: Czech Inn or Miss Sophie's
Also, if there's any other option you would have in mind based on the above mentioned things, please recommend.
Thanks!

They seem to be both in an ok area.
I'd say Miss Sophie's is a bit more accessible since you can reach it from the tram or metro which would allow you to go everywhere quite quickly.
Hope this helps.
FYI :
Czech Inn is around Namesti Miru (2 stops by tram)
Miss Sohpie's is around I.P. Pavlova
Prague in late May till early June
by Mochacha
Hi! I am planning to go Prague the first time. Would anyone give me some help with the followings:
1. would you recommend me a hostel that is clean and decent and if possible, has a private bathroom? (Not too expensive for 4, about 25 to 30 CAD per person per night)
2. what do you think about The Castle Steps or Czech Inn?
3. are there some local bars that are (comparably) safer for girls/visitors? (Our ages are from 25 to 30)
Thanks in advance.

There are some nice bars near the Charles Bridge that I enjoyed very much including a great tequila bar with a good menu of shots!
Can't advice you on a hostel but there are some very reasonable

As for question one: Me and 4 friends went and stayed at a hostel in the Old Town Square. We had a private room and a private bathroom. It was the Old Prague Hostel. It was very nice, clean and the reception staff was friendly and open 24/7. I don't know if the prices stay the same as we were there on the off season, but you can check it out.
2. I don't know much about the The Castle Steps or the Czech Inn but when my friends and I were looking at pricing the Castle Steps was out of our budget.
3. Bars- all over the place. Pretty much when we were there we stayed toward the center and everywhere we looked we saw another bar. I don't think that there was a bar that we felt unsafe in.
I hope this helps you out. :) Make sure you also do some sight seeing! So many beautiful things to see!!!
Restaurants with Food from the Hunt

My friends will be in Prague from the 30th December until 3rd January. They would like to eat in a restaurant that serves food from wild game. Any sugesstions?

Restaurace U Supa, Celetna 22, Stare Mesto, serves wild boar, but personally I found the meat a bit tough.
It's a traditional Czech inn and the atmosphere is good.

U modre kachnicky, Nebovidska 6, Mala Strana, specializes in Game, including pheasant and venison, but I haven't eaten there.

Most restaurants in Prague will have game on the menu. The nicest restaurant we tried was Restaurant Mucha.
To get a more Czech influence and probably cheaper food try thr restaurants which call themselves Restaurace (I think this is Czech for restaurant.

My husband and I just returned from a pre-christmas trip to prague last night and loved it. I would recommend for your friend the three restaurants we went to (all recommended to us by a dear friend born and raised in Prague):
U Modre Kachnicky: Our favorite. Very reasonable traditional Czech food with an emphasis on game. I had duck; my husband boar. Very good in a beautiful, non-touristy setting.
Zlata Praha: While I normally hate hotel restaurants. This one in top of the Intercontinental Hotel has gorgeous sweeping views of the city at night. Very good food, wine list. Also has game.
Kampa Park: Trendy modern Czech/continintal food in Kampa... just off the Charles Bridge.
