Chè Sài Gòn: Vietnamese Desserts in Prague's Sapa
The Chè Sài Gòn stall at the back of Prague's Sapa market specializes in chè - Vietnamese sweet cups and drinks made of beans, tapioca, jelly, fruit and coconut milk. The cups are numbered, the menu on the wall is in Czech and Vietnamese, and there are around ten kinds. The three of us tried three of them and picked the winner unanimously.
Sành Quán: Bún Riêu Cua Crab Soup in Prague's Sapa
The Sành Quán bistro wrote its own review straight into its name - sành ăn is Vietnamese for gourmet. On the edge of Prague's Sapa market, by the Buddhist temple, it serves bún riêu cua crab soup of a kind you'd struggle to find anywhere else in Prague, along with a bún đậu spread with stuffed pork sausage. And on the tables there are little jars of homemade chili that really does burn.
Hippo Café: Vietnamese Phin Coffee in Prague's Sapa
Vietnamese coffee from a phin filter can't be rushed - and at Hippo Café, a family-run café with its own roastery in Prague's Sapa market, nobody minds. The little metal filter drips straight into the glass, sweetened condensed milk waits at the bottom, and the terrace looks out over the whole of Sapa. A few minutes of waiting are as much a part of the cup here as the spoon is.
Hippo Café: Egg Coffee with a View over Prague's Sapa
Hippo Café is a rooftop café with its own roastery, right inside the grounds of Sapa, Prague's Vietnamese market. Here they make cà phê trứng the Hanoi way - egg coffee topped with a thick, sweet cream of yolks and condensed milk that you eat with a spoon. The drink was invented after the war by a bartender at Hanoi's Metropole hotel, back when fresh milk was hard to come by.
Le Grill Restaurant: A Stunning Courtyard Garden in the Bustling Center of Prague
Le Grill, the hotel restaurant of The Grand Mark Prague, boasts a stunning courtyard garden that is truly an oasis of calm in the lively city center. While prices may be higher, the quality of the food, the beautiful garden, and the excellent service make Le Grill a place well worth visiting - even if you are not staying at the hotel.
Vallmo Restaurant, Prague: Six Courses from the Crystal Pin Winner
Six courses from chef Martin Makovička - from carp tartare in cucumber soup to poppy seed pudding served at the table out of a big pot. Vallmo, a short walk from Prague's Náplavka riverbank, won Google's first Crystal Pin as the best-rated place in the city, so I went to count those stars for myself.
Dejvická 34 Restaurant, Prague: Lunch at the Chef's Table in 2022
The Italian restaurant Dejvická 34 by Tomáš Černý is named simply after its address - and it has held a Michelin Bib Gourmand since November 2021. Lunch in June 2022 brought fried Ascolana olives, spaghetti with octopus, a white chocolate dessert and a rosé Franciacorta. The chef carried the starter to the table himself.
Asian Groceries in Prague: Sapa and Zlatnická
The Sapa market on the southern edge of Prague is a Vietnamese city within a city - with a preschool, a Buddhist shrine and the Tamda Foods wholesale superstore, where Czechs shop too. For smaller runs there's an unassuming corner shop on Zlatnická Street by the Palladium, with a chiller cabinet of cilantro and fresh perilla tucked away in the back. A guide to two Prague addresses for Asian ingredients.
V Zátiší Restaurant, Prague (2): Lunch Menu
V Zátiší Restaurant is an elegant Prague establishment offering a unique combination of Czech and Indian cuisine. On weekdays, they prepare a two or three-course lunch menu at an unbeatable price. I recommend booking a table in advance due to high occupancy.
Bistro Ansámbl, Prague: Relaxed Fine Dining on Krymská Street
The father brews the beer, the son did the cooking. Bistro Ansámbl on Krymská Street in Prague's Vršovice served modern French-Czech cuisine in the style of relaxed fine dining, a few steps from the taproom of the family's Bad Flash brewery. In the spring of 2022 it was my find of the year. It's gone now; this article looks back at two dinners that were worth it.
