Strong flavors of Bohemia
Czech cuisine is robust, tasty and designed to accompany its excellent beer. It is a classic Central European cuisine, with a strong influence from its Austrian and German neighbors, where meat, creamy sauces and 'knedlíky' (dumplings) are kings of the table.
Must-Try Dishes
Svíčková na smetaně
Considered by many the national dish. It's a marinated and grilled beef tenderloin, served sliced with a delicious creamy root vegetable sauce. It is accompanied by 'knedlíky', a slice of lemon with blueberries and a little cream.
Vepřo-knedlo-zelo
The absolute classic of Czech cuisine. Tender and juicy roast pork, served with 'knedlíky' (bread dumplings) to soak up the sauce and sweet and sour sauerkraut to balance the fat.
Guláš
The Czech version of goulash. Unlike Hungarian, it is a thick and tasty beef stew, with fewer vegetables and served with bread or potato 'knedlíky'. It's not a soup.
Smažený sýr
A very popular guilty pleasure. It is a thick slice of cheese (usually Edam) breaded and fried. Served with fries and tartar sauce. A very common vegetarian option.
Česnecka (Garlic Soup)
A strong, comforting garlic soup, known for its hangover healing properties. It is served hot with fried bread croutons and sometimes with cheese and ham.
Knedlíky (Dumplings)
They are not a dish in themselves, but rather the garnish par excellence. They are slices of a steamed dough, made of bread ('houskové') or potato ('bramborové'). Its main function is to absorb the delicious sauces from stews.
Typical Drinks
Pivo (Beer)
The Czech Republic has the highest per capita beer consumption in the world, and for good reason. It is the birthplace of the Pilsner style (of the city of Plzeň). Drinking a fresh, unpasteurized Pilsner Urquell is an eye-opening experience.
Becherovka
A bittersweet herbal liqueur from Karlovy Vary. It is made with a secret recipe of more than 20 types of herbs and spices. It is drunk cold as a digestive.
Slivovice
A powerful plum brandy, typical of the Moravian region. It is a strong drink that is drunk in one gulp to celebrate or as a home remedy.
Kofola
The Czech answer to Coca-Cola, born in the communist era. It is a soft drink with a unique flavor, a mixture of herbs and licorice that you either love or hate. Very popular with locals.
Traditional Sweets
Trdelník
Although it is sold as a traditional sweet, it is more of a modern tourist attraction. It is a sweet dough rolled into a cylinder, roasted and covered with sugar and nuts. It is often filled with ice cream or chocolate.
Ovocné knedlíky (Fruit Dumplings)
A dish that can be both dessert and main course. They are large dumplings filled with seasonal fruit (strawberries, apricots, plums), boiled and served with melted butter, sugar and sometimes 'tvaroh' cheese or poppy seeds.
Medovnik
A delicious honey cake with multiple layers. It consists of thin sheets of honey sponge cake interspersed with a sweet cream and covered with ground walnuts. It is very popular in cafes.
Jablečný závin (Apple Strudel)
With a clear Austrian influence, apple strudel is a much-loved dessert. A thin rolled dough filled with apples, raisins, cinnamon and walnuts, served hot and sprinkled with icing sugar.
