Our dish — the plate we'd order here first

Špikovaný hovězí plátek ve svíčkové omáčce

Svíčková, Czech beef in a cream-and-root-vegetable sauce, here a larded slice of beef with cranberry and a homemade Karlovy Vary dumpling. Our Žižkov order.

Also on our table

  • We'd start with tlačenka, the pressed pork brawn
  • The svíčková, beef in cream sauce, with a Czech lager from the nine taps

U Slovanské lípy

Czech · old Žižkov pub · Žižkov (Tachovské náměstí), Prague

Tachovské náměstí 288/6, 130 00 Praha 3

Must-goOne of the few places in this city we'd plan a trip around.

Probably Žižkov's oldest pub, pouring since the nineteenth century in a First Republic room, with only Czech beer on its nine taps. It cooks traditional Czech food from fresh ingredients.
