We were on the hunt for authentic Slovak cuisine in Prague and stumbled upon Restaurace U Skřetů—a true hidden gem! It took a bit of searching (the entrance is tucked away and the restaurant is downstairs), but it was absolutely worth it.
We tried the Bryndzové halušky and Pirohy bryndzové, and both dishes were absolutely delicious—rich, comforting, and full of flavor. Portion sizes were generous without being overwhelming. To drink, we had a Primátor 10° beer and a Limca, a unique and refreshing lemonade that was a fun surprise.

The ambiance is simple and unpretentious, with a rustic, authentic vibe that makes you feel like you’ve stepped into a local favorite rather than a tourist trap. The bathrooms could use a bit more attention, but overall, the experience was fantastic.

Also, they don't accept cards. No problem, I'm perfectly OK with businesses not accepting cards I'll run to ATM, no problem. But still I'm a customer, you can tell me nicely, maybe even apologize - whatever you think about cards I'm still a customer, not tell me "We don't, already for 14 years!" I know businesses which didn't accept cards for hundreds of years and than they've started! Unpleasant waiters and shop assistants are norm in the Czech republic, but even me as a local, I'm not willing...
