Café de Paris

Malá Strana


A little corner of France tucked away on a quiet square, the Café de Paris is straightforward and unpretentious. So is the menu – onion soup or foie gras terrine to start, followed by entrecôte steak with chips, salad and a choice of sauces (they’re very proud of the Café de Paris sauce, made to a 75-year-old recipe).

There are also one or two seasonal specials, including a vegetarian alternative.
