For Israeli falafel and Mediterranean focaccia. Where to go for the best street food in Prague?
The so-called street food has been experiencing a rise in its popularity for several years. It inspires not only Michelin-starred restaurants, which take over not only their national dishes, but also informal style from small bistros of international cuisine.
We used to have a very limited selection of street delicacies in Prague, but they are currently on the rise. Some metropolitan street food establishments are so authentic that they travel around the world through their tasting.
Here are the best Prague street food businesses.
Pepper
The Israeli bistro offers not only the following well-known hummus or falafel, but also a traditional egg shakshuka or a sandwich of Iraqi Jews sabich. The community of Israeli expats crashes that the local dishes taste similar to a stall in Tel Aviv. Vegans will also get their money’s worth, for which vegan shavarma is prepared.
Where: Rumunská 16, Prague 2 and Lidická 42
Hua Long Zhai
Not so long ago, dim sum dumplings were a relatively unavailable commodity in Prague, but now it is offered by an increasing number of companies. The unobtrusive-looking Vršovice bistro boasts great reviews of its stuffed bags, which you can not only consume on site or in the adjacent Grébovka park, but you can also get frozen and later prepare it at home. It is interesting that the owner of the bistro is not only a champion in gastronomy, but also in kung fu.
Where: Oblouková 36, Prague 10
Las Adelitas Taquería
Tacos were in Prague similar to dim sum dumplings. They were desperately missing when the owners of the successful Mexican restaurant chain Las Adelitas decided to open a bistro that would specialize exclusively in small stuffed tortillas, which in Mexico are called not only tacos but also “divine mana”. You can understand this love of food when you order not only tacos with chicken or pork or grilled prickly pear at Taqueria Las Adelitas, but also those with beef, rice and a special sauce.

Original Cheesesteaks by Philly & Co
A real American bistro in the heart of Žižkov serves special properties: the so-called philly cheesesteak, which is beef in a toasted baguette with spices, onions and cheddar cheese. It also includes french fries, and you will definitely want to have a beer after such a load, which is directly encouraged by sitting in the garden of the company. Even though the local sandwich aspires to become “the most popular pigsty in the city”, the body can only carry such a dose of fat only in holiday doses.
Where: Tachovské nám. 3, Prague 3
Zone Bistro
The specialty of the newly opened establishment is a traditional stuffed Italian focaccia and baked baguette. The ingredients are classically Mediterranean: mortadella, mozzarella di bufala, melanzane, but also salsiccia or halloumi. A big gourmet bonus is truffle butter, which, accompanied by roast beef, creates a completely addictive combination. The owners of the bistro are Evelina and Kristian Dobrowolští, who are behind a successful restaurant in the Old Town of Al Riso. The interior was then taken care of by Kristiana Igor’s brother, whose art represents the prestigious Maddox Gallery in London.
Where: Gourmet Pasáž Dlouhá, Dlouhá 39, Prague 1
Buffet Karlin
A combination of great ingredients and classic Czech delicacies (soon it will be served here for example langos) is the basis of a new act by Ambiente. In the backyard of the Dva kohouti brewery, they are grilled, baked, fried and it is nice that their goal here is not to make anything flashy or conceptual of Czech fast food. Just when you fancy a good steak in bread, you know where to go.
Where: U Nádražní lávky 81/2, Prague 8
Vegetable Corn Kebab
This is no ordinary kebab, this is a kebab fantasy. The taste of grilled vegetables, homemade hummus, pickles, lots of herbs and perfectly prepared meat will haunt you even at night. You must then wish to return to Podolí for this gastronomic discovery in baked beer. Expect a queue that can wind here from the Dvorce tram stops.
Where: Podolské nábřeží, Prague 4
