Café Society in Prague

Prague is famous for many things, its opera house, its bridges, springtimes and astrological clock. It also has a wonderful café society, from lost-in-time fin de siècle relics to funky new arrivals. Here are three of my favourites.

Café Slavia - One of Prague’s best- loved institutions and renowned as a meeting place for intellectuals and literati since the late 19th century. The décor hasn’t changed much since then, and neither have the house specialties such as crepes, and thick and sinful hot chocolate. Smetanovo nábřeží 1012/2, www.cafeslavia.cz
Kavárna Obecní dům,

The glorious Municipal House Café is a sterling example of secessionist style and is located in the heart of the city’s historical centre. Open from day to night, it is equally as good for a coffee and pastry breakfast or a light lunch of a sandwich or salad. Ask to have a peek at the café’s private games rooms. Náměstí Republiky 5.

Cafe Wow - Café Wow is a one of the new breed of Prague cafes, mixing retro-inspired furniture and bright colors to a young crowd of locals and expats. You could pop in for a cocktail at night, or grab a bite of say tomato and mozzarella salad and pasta during the day. It is also one of the few places in Prague that does a decent brunch.
