10 Best Restaurants in Letna, Prague

Located on what is among Prague's coolest streets, this hip little spot combines a retro aesthetic—black walls, a mix of chairs, and lots of plants—with tasty international food and unique touches. 

This sweet "Little House" perched in a community center in the other park bordering Letná district, Stromovka, is a very pleasant option for a coffee in summer, particularly ahead of a leafy walk across the park. There are grilled foods, too, some cakes, some sandwiches, homemade ice cream and lemonade, and (of course) beer. The picnic tables in dappled sunlight outside are particularly appealing. Opening hours can vary out of season.

With its bare plaster walls and laid-back vibe, uber-cool Cafe Hrnek is a fab spot for great coffee, tasty brunches, and decadent sweet treats.

Just behind Letná Park, Curry Palace is a bit off the beaten path, but it's the place for Indian and Bangladeshi food. You'll find the usual mix of tandoori dishes and curries, and staff are happy to recommend more unique options. This makes a perfect lunch or dinner stop after visiting the National Technical Museum or the park itself.

Come for the swings, stay for the coffee: this small coffee shop has swing seats (a bit of a gimmick, but actually quite a cute one), lovely cakes, and excellent coffee. It's more of a daytime place than an evening bar, although it is open until 9.

There are retro vibes and delicious pastries in this mini-chain, which now has three branches around town. The company dates back to 1937, so it's authentic, with good coffee and more than 20 cake choices.

A perfectly located ice-cream parlor for taking a sweet, cold treat into Letná or Stromovka Park. Their slogan is "There's always a good time for an ice-cream," and frankly, when the gelato is this good, we agree. 

The same talented team behind Lokál Dlouhááá and Café Savoy refurbished this long-standing Czech pub near Stromovka Park in 2013. Not only did they add a fresh coat of paint to the walls, but, true to form, they refreshed and reintroduced some traditional tavern classics alongside great beer. A solid choice if you are in the area.

It's almost sacrilegious to describe these U.S.-style dogs as the best sausage in town, but their greatness cannot be denied (make sure you grab a Czech-style klobasa, or sausage, while in Prague, too, though).

Locals love this buzzing café that focuses on local ingredients and serves generous brunches, delicious bread, and excellent coffee. Chleba a máslo, next door, is a similarly unpretentious neighborhood bakery that's owned by the same crew.
