You can visit this Czech delicacy while strolling through Prague. Just choose the silver tourist trail, whose signs are stamped in the curbs and will reliably lead you to Žitná Street. As an attraction beyond the tourist guide, you can take a photo at the house where the world-famous composer Antonín Dvořák lived, as this house is also in Žitná Street directly opposite the U Pravdů restaurant.
The total capacity of the restaurant is 68 seats and it is divided into 3 parts: main hall, bar, and lounge, with a capacity of 42, 8, and 18 guests respectively. On rainy summer days, the garden in the courtyard of the house is open with a capacity of about 50 seats.
The history of the U Pravdů restaurant dates back to 1888, when Mr. František Pravda asked for permission to build a gazebo in which he would brew beer according to the law of the brewery. References to the house in which the restaurant is located date back to the 14th century, when the house was successively called U Lajblů, U Chlupů, U Tikánů, or Kalivodský. During the Renaissance, it was beautifully decorated, and its brewery façade with a gable attic was an ornament of Žitná Street.
In the U Pravdů restaurant, you will agree with those who enjoy that beautiful time of stylish lamps, carved chairs, old bicycles, black and white photos, and traditional Czech cuisine, which was best served by the mothers of Czech grandmothers. The current interior, which has been used since the turn of the millennium, is similar to the original look of the time. Most of the restaurant’s accessories are original or historical. The restaurant serves Pilsner, Polička, semidark Ferdinand, and unfiltered Unětice. The interior will delight lovers of the First Republic, in whose style it is decorated. Lots of small details will make a proper feast a real experience for all senses. And what delicacies does this Old Bohemian restaurant offer, among others? Delicious roast pork ribs, roast duck, rabbit on spinach and bacon, pork, dumplings, very, goulash, or meat skewer. That is just a modest list of what you will be licking your lips for at the U Pravdů restaurant. And believe me, this is no tourist trap. Even the biggest Czech patriots will be thrilled to try the local cuisine.
And we have to mention the helpful service that will advise you. After all, Czech cuisine is quite specific, so do not be afraid to have anything recommended. Personally, we would bet that whatever you choose, you will not regret it, but you cannot give anything for asking.
So, if you intend to visit an honest old Bohemian restaurant while wandering around Prague, you will not go wrong at the U Pravdů restaurant. Whether we are talking about food, drink, or the overall concept, everything here is exactly as it should be. The place is in a great location, you will feel the atmosphere of a traditional Czech restaurant in the best possible sense of the word, and you will be delighted by its offer. This is what a proper cultural and gastronomic experience should look like.
