The area
Address
Neighbourhood: Stare Mesto (Old Town)
One of the oldest neighbourhoods in town represents the medieval heart of Prague. It’s no surprise it is bustling with tourists every time of day. Križovnický square, overlooking Charles Bridge with Prague Castle in the background, is probably the most beautiful square in the city. Its unique historical atmosphere of gothic houses and churches, cobblestone streets and squares, and stone towers blend together with the modern era. A vast array of bars, restaurants, dance clubs, international brand shops, galleries and hotels bring life to the old city. With its charming and picturesque cobblestone streets, the nightlife and parties will surely be unforgettable.

    Satisfactory food and service.
    On the first evening of our stay in Prague we went to this restaurant, just opposite the National Theatre, therefore almost on the bank of the Vltava. The restaurant has modern but not too modern decor, recalling the atmosphere of the 1970s. As for dinner, the package included pea cream with a splash of sour cream, roast with side dishes, and a 400 ml mug of beer (Budweiser). Overall our meal was satisfactory, as was the service.

    Great visit as always
    If there's one cafe I know I'm going to visit on any holiday I take to Prague its Cafe Slavia housed in the beautiful and historic Lazansky Palace, always had a good time in here and so it proved on our latest visit. A wonderful looking cafe ,interior is superb, decor and furnishings are superb throughout this cafe ,lots of interesting features here ,love the wall art here ,all in all its a great cafe to chill out. We were here on a Tuesday afternoon, we were greeted and seated by a very pleasant member of the bar team, we got pilsner beers these were served in excellent condition being iced cold and sparkling, we just kicked back, chilled out and soaked up the great vibe in this busy and popular cafe. Beer served in here was really good, golden ,light and hoppy, bursting with taste, very easy to drink, when this beer is served freezing cold as in this cafe its such a delicious beer indeed. We really enjoyed our beers in here before we moved on and although our visit was only fleeting as on every other visit to Cafe Slavia we had a great time. Cafe Slavia is easy to locate along Smetanovo Nabrezi. Opening hours are; Monday to Sunday, open from 9am. Well worth checking out if you're in the New Town ( Nove Mesto ) of Prague.

    A place to stop time.
    I highly recommend this place if quality is more important for you than quantity. Crepe Suzette, fish and salad were all wonderful and the staff is also great. It was nice to see the river through the enormous windows. It was really worth coming here, thank you!

    Cafe Slavia was a treat after we finished our time at the nearby paddle boats. And it was a delight. I had the crepe with orange sauce, vanilla ice cream and whipped cream. There was not a speck left on my plate. Also, had homemade ginger tea. As for the atmosphere, a sleek art deco style, a courteous staff that will not rush you out the door, so you can just sink into your seat and enjoy great food and a beautiful setting.

    Excellent restaurant in a nice location
    This is an excellent restaurant with a fantastic location close to the river. We had a terrific meal, had very good service and the restaurant has a nice ambiance. The menu gave us a good choice of meals at quite reasonable prices. Would strongly recommend if you are visiting Prague and looking for a nice meal out.

The food was very nice and also the complete atmosphere of the location. We had the bad luck to meet a waiter who was an absolutely arrogant guy. It was almost impossible to get his attention. Twice he forgot to serve the wine that we ordered. He didn’t mind at all when we complained about it. My advice to the manger of Slavia is to send him for a traineeship to cafe Louvre. They know all about good hospitality. To future guests take a look for the nice interior and walk 200 meters further on the road for cafe Louvre.

The service in this restaurant is non existant. We arrived and the manager asked us to wait a couple of minutes and never came back.

After we managed to get someone’s attention to find a seat, we ordered drinks and food. We got twice as many forks and knives as we needed just thrown on the table for us to arrange. After 45 minutes, the waiter is coming back to confirm our order as they didn’t even start to prepare it. We obviously left. The personel is cold, careless and unprofessional.

The manager is galavanting around and being pretty much useless. He clearly does not manage a thing.

Waited for 20 minutes before a waitress said Hello, while the place was two-thirds empty and 5 waiters were chatting at a cash desk…
I asked for a menu… waited another 10 minutes before they took the order.. The waiter seemed like he had party all night or As half drunk.

Food was good however overpriced for Prague… but this is a tourist spot right… so it’s allowed to screw them out

Highly DO NOT recommend. Exceptionally rude staff. Walked in with two kids and headed to a free table by the window. At this point bargirl behind the bar told us off. At my question why couldn’t we have that table the answer was “it’s only tables for 2” and to my question “why” - Because the waiters don’t like it😳😳😳😳

Start or end your day at the Slavia Cafe (Kavárna in Czech) and Bar, and enjoy the super-delicious cakes and the superb views of the nearby National Theater and the Vltava river.
But even if it is late in the evening, and there are almost no outside views, enjoy the cafe's art-deco decoration and many photos reminding everyone of its past and present most famous customers, among which is Václav Havel.
Not many tourists, fortunately! Check the site: [--]
