Prague~David --located near the Alchemist Hotel
Budapest~Toscanna--Pest side along the Danube
and also a small restaurant that name translates into "The Little Cuckoo"--it is also on the Pest side and is on a tiny street that runs parallel to the Danube and is very close to Margrit Island--try Duran sandwich shop for lunch--several locations.

Prague has become VERY expensive, to a point it is on same level as any large city in Europe... Out of the number of places we've visited and eaten at, let me recommend a real gem, an old establishment that a local friend suggested, with real good food, great service -- and very reasonable prices:
Cafe Louvre, near, or at new town, next to the national theater, at Narodni Trida 22 (I kept the business card).

We would be visiting Prague soon and would love to dine at restaurant David. However when I google it it takes me to a website where it says that 'Restaurant David has been suspended'...I am quite confused...what that means...has recently visited it? Is it closed for renovations?

Not sure what you mean, I went to the link you posted and it's working fine...
All I can warn you is -- as I mentioned above -- Prague has become VERY expensive... That's why I felt obligated to mention the Cafe Louvre, which was the most pleasant surprise, even though this friend from Prague (who's now living in the US) told us about it, being great and very affordable.

I am sorry mamamia...I should have been more clear...if you click on this link and see the english text...then at the end of the paragraph it does say 'restaurant David is suspended'...
Thanks a lot for the heads up about Cafe Louvre...we would definitely try and go there

I was recently in the Vtopna Resturant near the top of Wenseslas Square,food was pretty good but the model train sets that bring the drinks to your table were real fun.I would avoid it during the day at weekends as it is full mof lids but at nightime it is there for us bigger kids.
I liked it so much I visited it twice and will go back again when I am next in the city in a few months time.

Blue duck restaurant in Prague? Really? Great location in the Mala Strana, but the "Tom Cruise ate here" sign I found just a bit kitsch. But, I guess Planet Hollywood made millions from this type of marketing, so who am I to judge.
Local secret: take the metro (A-green line) up to a stop called "Jiriho z Podebrad" Prague's top restaurant is a half kilometer walk down Manesovsa street. It's called "Aromi". It's med-style seafood. Place is run by a few Italian expats. Best wine list in the city. Best seafood in the city. But it is also probably one of the most expensive in the city as well. You can also try Mozaika, which is also near this metro stop: Nitranska 13 street. Reservations required.

Paying a LOT of money at a Prague restaurant -- you really don't need any specific directions, it's very easy.... On our first night we went into a small, really nothing fancy restaurant, ordered 2 large pizzas for the 4 of us, had some salad, 1 beer (beer is the only thing cheap in Prague), and 3 soft drinks. We paid $72.... When we were seated we found on our table a basket with some pretzels. We casually munched a couple of them, waiting for our server to arrive. When I got the bill I was charged for 3 pretzels... They counted how many pretzels we ate....

I know Budapest pretty well, Prague not at all. Among the restaurants mentioned here none are poor choices but none are, in my view top of the heap. My family's favorite place is Cafe Bouchon and it's the one place we get to at least once on every trip. Wonderful food, warm welcome, tables aren't scrunched together as they are at the Cafe Kor (which is far more tourist-oriented). Moderate to high moderate pricing, very English-friendly staff...
But others that bear a close look depending on your tastes: Onyx and Costes, the two Michelin-startred venues (I prefer Onyx, but frankly prefer less frou-frou dining over all). Klassz, Bock Bisztro, Csalogany 26, Borsso, the Gresham Kavehaz, Muzeum Kavehaz, Rosenstein ... for Italian Fausto's is expensive but extraordinary, Millenium da Pippo warm and welcoming, Pomodoro quite wonderful. Personally I find Krizia seriously over-rated. Among small places and cafes, the Gerloczy, the Cafe Alibi, the Cafe Central, Apa Cuka, Lenoteca, Kadar Etkezde, the Castro Bisztro, Cafe Jedermann...
Many wonderful pastry shops, but four in particular are favorites: the Auguszt (especially as a place to sit), Jeg Bufe (for take-away), Nandori on Raday utca (also mostly take-away but they now have a few outdoor tables) and a tiny shop on Brody Sandor utca -- Kovacs. Also, hidden behind the big church at Horvath Mihaly ter there's a great local pastry place ... if they have Anyos Nyelv (mother-in-law's tongue) you're in great luck.
The best strudel (in Hungarian, retes)? A tiny shop far from the tourist area, on Lehel ut just off where it starts at Robert Karoly korut ... Retes Bolt (simply, Strudel Shop) ... they often close on summer days, though.
