Restaurace Bredovský dvůr

They take beer seriously here. As a certified tankovna, they serve unpasteurized Pilsner Urquell straight from copper tanks. It never touches CO2 or oxygen. You get a softer, naturally bubbly lager. Ask for a hladinka. It comes with a thick, creamy head of foam. They also pour Velkopopovický Kozel dark. If you need something stronger, try the fruit brandies from Rudolf Jelínek. Their house Slivovice packs a punch.

The kitchen doesn't do small portions. You're here for czech food prague locals actually eat. The Svíčková na smetaně is a classic beef sirloin in root vegetable cream. But the roasted pork knee (Vepřové koleno) is the real star. It’s a massive cut served with plenty of mustard and horseradish. For something different, try the venison in red wine or wild boar tenderloin. Vegetarians can stick to the fried cheese or grilled goat cheese salads.

You’re eating in a bit of history. The Neo-Renaissance Schebek Palace dates back to the 1870s. Architect Vojtěch Ignác Ullmann designed it. It’s officially a cultural monument. Recent work added modern office space above, but the historic atrium remains. That’s where you’ll find the summer garden. It’s a 19th-century aristocratic setting. And it stays remarkably quiet despite the city noise outside.

Bredovský dvůr stays busy because it caters to locals. It sits right between Wenceslas Square and the Main Railway Station. Local workers keep the kitchen honest during the weekday lunch rush. The daily menus are a steal. By evening, the vibe changes. It becomes a loud hub for sports and beer. It’s near major metro lines, making it an easy first or last stop on your trip.
