Visited here for afternoon tea on a weekday. The interior is clean and tidy, with a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. We ordered sandwiches, soup, desserts, and coffee. The soup was a bit bland, but the Sachertorte and profiteroles were quite good. The highlight was definitely the fries—they were incredibly crispy and probably the best fries we've had in Prague. The cafe is located on the busy Národní street, with a tram stop nearby, making it very convenient. It's also not far from Old Town Square or the Vltava River, so after a satisfying meal, you can easily walk to the old town area to continue sightseeing or take a stroll along the river, both of which are great options. Additionally, the service at the cafe is noteworthy. The staff were very friendly and helpful, enhancing our dining experience. The coffee was of high quality, rich and aromatic, especially the cappuccino, which had a wonderfully smooth texture. As for the desserts, the Sachertorte had a rich chocolate flavor that wasn't overwhelming, and the profiteroles were crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, leaving a lasting impression. The decor of the cafe is also quite distinctive, blending modern and vintage styles to create a comfortable yet tasteful environment. It's a great place to meet friends or relax alone. Whether you're looking for a light meal or a good cup of coffee, this place has something to offer. Overall, Louvre Cafe is not only a great spot for enjoying delicious food but also an excellent choice for experiencing the charm of Prague.

Great old world Cafe! This reminds me of Angelina Cafe in Paris in so many ways! I'm so happy we stopped here. We ordered the Szplit (sparking wine), ginger tea, chop salad, avocado toast/sandwich, pate with toast, strudel and hot chocolate. It all came to 45€ so I thought that was an amazing value! Service was very prompt, attentive and efficient, if a little brusque. Hot chocolate was very much like Angelina's in Paris, but half the size and not as sweet. If you've never been to Angelina's, then this hot chocolate might change your life. It's so rich and delicious like Belgium melted in a cup. The chopped salad was surprisingly fresh and light and citrusy and delicious. I loved it, and would return for more! Only complaint was the amount of oil used. The pate was delish, I lived the fruit compote on top of the smoke amount of paste. The toast was heavily buttered, they could have skipped the butter. Avocado sandwich was the only disappointment. Rather blame and boring. Strudel was quite good. Ginger tea was flat out steaped ginger! Surprising.

Cafe Louvre in Prague offers a delightful experience steeped in rich history. Opened in 1902, this historic cafe has been frequented by notable figures such as Albert Einstein and Franz Kafka. Despite its status as a major tourist attraction, it maintains a strong local charm and a lively atmosphere. Standout dishes includes the Waldorf salad, known for its freshness and excellent flavor. A standout feature is the pea soup, presented in a unique and engaging manner. The ingredients are initially served in a dish, with the soup then poured over them at the table, adding a touch of theatricality to the dining experience. The lovely and historical decor of Cafe Louvre creates a warm and inviting ambiance, reminiscent of its illustrious past. Spread amongst several floors, the cafe offers a blend of historic elegance and modern vibrancy, making it a good dining choice in Prague. This charming blend of history, atmosphere, and excellent food together with quite an extensive menu warrants a revisit when in the area.

The anticipation for the restaurant was high, fueled by glowing reviews and an impressive menu. However, the reality turned out to be quite disappointing. Upon entering, the first thing that struck us was the noisy atmosphere. Conversations were drowned out by the clatter of dishes and loud chatter, making it hard to enjoy a peaceful meal. The food, which we had been eagerly looking forward to, did not live up to its reputation. The flavors were bland and unremarkable, a far cry from the culinary experience we had hoped for. One of the biggest letdowns was the lack of fresh ingredients, particularly the mushrooms, which were a key component of several dishes. Instead of the fresh, earthy taste we expected, the mushrooms were canned and lacked any real flavor. Overall, the experience was a letdown. The restaurant failed to meet our expectations on multiple fronts, leaving us with a sense of disappointment rather than satisfaction.

We came here for my birthday to have some cake and hot chocolate. The staff kind of ignored us? We managed to get a table and the menu. Our waiter was not very nice nor attentive, he bought the cakes and smashed them on the table like they were bricks… Neither did he ask if everything was alright after we got our order nor did he do so when we wanted to pay. Obviously we didn’t tip. We chose the chocolate cake and the cottage cheese cake. The chocolate cake was okay, the cottage cheese cake tasted like it was made 4 days ago sitting in the fridge for so long. I only ate two bites and was afraid I would get food poisoning. Obviously the waiter didn’t care that the cake was untouched. We won’t recommend. If you want to see the place and the atmosphere, just go upstairs, look around and leave. Not worth the money. Two stars for the hot chocolate and the atmosphere.

Honestly, have high expectation before going there coz almost everyone said the food there was great. However, as a tier one restaurant in the city, the food quality just barely lives up to its reputation. The prices of those main courses are reasonable though , roughly 10 Euro each. Unfortunately, if you know how to cook, one can tell easily those meat, no matter the pork loin or beef goulash, they are from not slow-cooking method and thus finished meat are not soft enough and rather dry, the pork is almost tasteless, a waste of the ingredient. I am pretty sure I could cook better though the garnishing of dishes is up to standard. It’s really a pity; stewed meat requires a low fire with slow cooking for long hours. The finished dishes obviously are from a result of reverse treatments. Hope the restaurant could do better next time when I visit Prague again.
