U Mariánského obrazu — Restaurant in Prague

Very disappointing. We enter the restaurant and ask a waitress if we can have a table. She points to a table inside the restaurant and we ask her if it’s possible to eat outside (they don’t have any air conditioning). She agrees but she doesn’t walk us to the table and we stand outside for 10 minutes, trying to ask another waiter if we can sit. He walks past us not even looking at us (even if we try to talk to him) for two times and then says an abrupt “yes”. After finally bringing the menus, he comes to take our order and starts speaking Czech (while he’s aware we don’t speak it because we talked to him in English). When we ask him “English?”, he replies “no”, shaking his head and pointing at the street. We are so disappointed… how can you send somebody away just because you don’t speak english (the first waitress spoke it so she could’ve helped us) or maybe you don’t want any tourists in your restaurant… either way, the service was so rude and we don’t recommend for any non-speaking Czech person...

We went a second time after a failure 24 hours before (see under) This time it was excellent: nice atmosphere, very good service, smiles and very good Czech food! The tripes soup and Jalapenos were delicious, the steak very well cooked and the duck breast absolutely perfect (magret) Price are very reasonable (25€/person) the wine delicious (Frankovka 2018 pavlov) My first time: we waited very long: asked for the menu, ordered drinks, waited, asked again, the menu arrives, your drinks never, you ask the waitresses, they take your order (you are already waiting for 30 minutes) Ten minutes later you ask again for your drinks (it's already 40 minutes you ordered) A "manager" arrives and explain that the chef closed the kitchen 5 minutes before, and even if you are waiting for 45 minutes, even if you ordered 40 minutes before, they can't serve your food!!! They suggest that you should go to U sadu...

When I went in and realised it was more a pub than a cafe I nervously ordered a cappuccino . Well spank me and call me Randy, I got quite a pleasant surprise that the coffee was actually very good. On the hot side of warm, plenty of foam and full flavoured !!

As I watched beers come out with nice big heads like they prefer in this part of the world and people sat around enjoying their meals it became apparent that they are proud of their work here.

I like how quietly people talk here. Even a car going past at 20 km per hour sounds loud. I wish there more cafes like this . People all around talking but you can still hear the wind and the occasional bird 🕊️. Dogs are also welcomed here on a leash .

I sat outside on this cool day among hit ones in Prague. The staff are...
