Kavárna Slavia

Kavárna Slavia Review

Easily the city's best-known café, Slavia serves good coffee, drinks, and light snacks, as well as the greatest hits of Czech cuisine: roast duck with potato dumplings and sauerkraut, beef goulash, and roast smoked pork with white cabbage and potato pancakes. Sandwiches and quotidian pasta plates offer lighter, less-expensive options, though aesthetes can make a full meal out of the rich views of the National Theater, the Vltava, and Prague Castle. This spectacular location has a historic air that winds from the days of Viktor Oliva's painting The Absinthe Drinker (which hangs in the main room), through the era of the playwright and regular patron Václav Havel, and continues into the modern day.
