Leaving the worries of shopping, frying carp, and preparing potato salad to others and just enjoying the festive atmosphere at a perfectly set table – does that sound like a Christmas miracle? In Czech Republic, Christmas Eve on December 24th is traditionally a holiday when we are all at home, which is why most ordinary businesses remain closed. However, hotel restaurants usually come to the rescue.
I have prepared a selection of places in Prague where they are preparing a special Christmas Eve menu for you. Prices and direct links to their offers are included. Don’t forget that capacity is limited, and an early reservation is the best gift you can give yourself.
Enjoy a magical and carefree Christmas!

La Gare Restaurant
You can enjoy traditional Christmas snails on Christmas Eve in the popular brasserie La Gare. The main attraction here is undoubtedly snails prepared in three ways – classically Burgundy style, with mushroom ragout, or in the form of a vol-au-vent with garlic velouté. If you don’t fancy snails, the menu also offers French classics such as coq au vin, fish soup with seafood, or aged beef tartare. Attention, La Gare prepares lunches on Christmas Eve, not dinners. Lunches take place in two time waves (morning and afternoon), so early reservation is necessary.
