For Czechs and expatriates living in Prague, this is one of the most popular spots to take visitors for a taste of local cuisine without the stress of tourist rip-offs and dingy neighborhoods. The wood-and-copper decor gives off an appropriate air of a brewery taproom, and you can wash down traditional meals—such as svíckova (beef tenderloin in cream sauce), roast duck, and fried pork cutlets, or upgrades of traditional food, such as turkey steak with Roquefort sauce and walnuts—with a mug of unpasteurized Pilsner Urquell.

Like many places in Prague, the bar was upstairs, and the restaurant in the basement.
We found it very humerous that the baseement was decorated, for real, in the same exposed-brick-walls ways that restaurants in the U.S. try to recreate.
Seems to be a traditional Czech menu. Our onion rings (what were we thinking when we ordered these) were like, well, onion rings. My duck main course was large and a little over-cooked, though the cabbage with it was delicious. The dumplings that came with it were not so good, though my son liked them. My husband's fish was good, as was my son's farmer's omelet.
This was a decent choice for traditional food in Prague

The Fried Cheese was awful but the sausages & beer were very good. We had a difficult finding it with our maps.
