Experience a secret and delicious side of Prague…

Spend a magical evening enjoying the mystery of Prague’s Lesser Town, a Renaissance neighbourhood found around the foothills of Prague Castle. This charming area may be close to the tourist hotspots, but it’s still tucked away enough for you to escape the crowds and enjoy a unique experience. Your local guide will take you down tiny backstreets to discover some of the city’s most-loved hidden gems.

You’ll visit secret wine cellars, small bistros and family-run cafés to savour Prague’s tastiest food and drink. As you walk, you’ll pass famous, but lesser-known sights like the John Lennon Wall, Kampa Island and David Cerny’s unique sculptures.

After a day of sightseeing,  join us on this enchanting evening experience in Malá Strana (Lesser Town).

My wife and I booked the evening food tour. Neil was our guide and he was brilliant. Very insightful about Czech history and even more so about Czech food. We enjoyed every food stop but the goulash was special! The night cap was perfect to end the night as well.

- Peter – Tripadvisor Review

Very highly recommended. We spent a wonderful evening with Vladimir, and were extremely impressed with the quality of the tour. The food is great, of course, and it’s clear that a lot of care has gone into choosing the stops. Stepping just a little way off the main tourist thoroughfare let us see a more local Prague, and we had some beautiful streets and stops almost all to ourselves.

- VB_Lauren (TripAdvisor Review)

Vladimir was a great host, explaining not only the food, but the history of the Czech Republic. Great to see the city at night and to experience the wine, food and beer on this tour.

- Frogchick73 (TripAdvisor Review)

Neil was a fantastic guide that made the evening a lot of fun. We tried several different places we never would have known existed and they were all fantastic. This was definitely one of the highlights of the trip.

Meet Your Local Prague Tour Guides

Our Prague food tours are led by people who know this city far beyond the fairy-tale spires. Beer lovers who can tell you the story behind every Czech brewery, cooks who grew up on their grandmother's dumplings, and neighborhood regulars who know which hospoda hasn't changed since their parents were young. They take you into the Prague that tourists walk past — where the food is hearty, the beer is honest, and every meal comes with a story worth hearing.

I come from a small town in Moravia, known for spa wafers, healing mineral water, white wine and the famous Slivovitz brandy. In Prague since 2012.
Beef tartare with lots of garlic rubbed on the fried bread. And duck, anytime.
Vinograf wine bar and Slivovitz museum to treat homesickness.

My favorite dish is traditional kuba - a bit of a forgotten dish with barley and forest mushroom
For a great view with beer or goulash, go to Strahov Monastery and St. Norbert Brewery - it's central but quiet

I'm originally from Colorado in the US and been living in Prague for the past 10 years.
That's tough, either Kulajda (creamy mushroom dill soup) or duck. All the countries I've been to, the Czechs and Chinese have the best (two very different styles).
Outside the tourist center – Grébovka is a lovely part of the city with some delightful wine and nice view.

A pure Prager, through and through. I've lived, eaten, and explored various corners of this city my whole life.
My heart belongs to the Czech classic: roasted duck. Seriously, I'll take it in any shape, size, or style you can throw at me.
Karlín is my happy place! It transformed from an ugly duckling into a vibrant swan of a neighborhood, boasting trendy eateries, intriguing architecture, public art, and beautiful green spaces. Check out Muj salek kavy & Kamin.

Frequently Asked Questions

General Tour Information

Is a food tour in Prague worth it?

Absolutely! There’s no better way to experience the beautiful city of Prague and its culture than a food tour with a local guide.

What food is Prague famous for?

Prague’s culinary scene is a hearty blend of Czech tradition and Central European comfort food. You can’t leave without trying svíčková (marinated beef sirloin in a creamy vegetable sauce with dumplings), goulash (rich, paprika-spiced beef stew), and řízek (Czech schnitzel, crispy and golden). Give trdelník (a sweet, chimney-shaped pastry rolled in sugar and nuts, originally from Hungary) a pass in favor of Kolaches (sweet, round pastry filled with poppyfeed or fruit) or bramboráky (savory potato pancakes). And of course, your visit wouldn’t be complete without pairing your meal with a glass of world-famous Czech beer, brewed fresh and full of flavor.

What’s included in the price of the food tour?

All food and drinks, as well as your professional local guide are included in the price you pay for the tour. No hidden charges or upsells here.

How long are the tours?

All of our Prague tours are approximately 4 hours in length.

What neighborhoods or areas do the tours cover?

Each tour’s area can be found listed as its “location”. For example, you might explore Mala Strana or the Old Town!

What is the group size?

Our tours have a maximum capacity of 12 guests. This ensures that our small groups are able to move unobtrusively through the neighborhoods we explore, respecting our surroundings and the locals that live in Prague.

I’m traveling alone. Do you offer single tickets?

We love welcoming solo travelers! All of our tours are open to individual guests.

Food and Drink

What kind of food will we taste?

You will taste Czech and regional dishes, exploring Prague’s culinary culture through traditional fare and local specialties. Offerings may vary by day or season, but you’re sure to enjoy a delightful array of local flavors!

Are drinks included?

Yes. All tours include drinks, and they’re always included in the price you pay.

Do the tours accommodate vegetarian or gluten-free diets?

Vegetarian-Friendly Tours but vegan, gluten-free, or kosher options may be limited. Please share dietary restrictions upon booking for best accommodation. Note that tastings outside those catered for your needs are at your own risk. The company assumes no responsibility for any food allergies or intolerances. Guests with severe or life-threatening allergies cannot participate in this activity for their safety.

For full details, guests should always refer to the specific tour page, as limitations may vary.

Are portions enough for a meal?

Yes. On each of our Prague tours, you are guaranteed to eat at least the equivalent of a full meal.

Can I buy food or souvenirs at the stops?

Of course! If you would like to purchase something at one of the stops we make, you are welcome to do so yourself, or if you need assistance, you can ask your helpful guide.

Booking and Payment

How do I book?

Visit eatingeurope.com and click on the orange “Book Now” button: it’s simple as that! You will be able to choose your tour, date, time and number of guests before booking.

What forms of payment are accepted?

We accept major debit & credit card payments, iDEAL and Bancontact.

What should I wear?

There is no dress code on our tours, however it’s recommended to wear a good pair of shoes (these are walking tours, after all!) and be prepared for the elements, even though most of our stops are indoors.

Are tourists welcome in Prague?

Yes, absolutely. There’s a Czech word, pohoda, which captures a feeling of contentment, calm, and things being “just right.” That’s the feeling we believe every visitor should experience in Prague.

You’ll find that spirit of pohoda from locals when you connect with the city respectfully. It’s found when you support the traditional pubs away from the main square, help keep the cobblestone streets of Malá Strana quiet at night, and show respect for the city’s deep and complex history. This is the authentic Prague experience.

It’s this connection we create on our Eating Europe tours. We step away from the crowds and take you to the places locals truly love, introducing you to the people behind the food and the stories that make this city one of a kind.

Tour Experience & Expectations

Will the guide speak my language?

Our guides are all fluent in English, and of course speak Czech as well. For requests for tours in other languages, please contact us.

Can I take photos during the tour?

Yes! You are welcome to take photos and videos of the food and scenery throughout your tour. If you would explicitly like to get photos of fellow guests or your guide, we kindly ask that you get their permission first.

Do I need to tip the guide?

Tips for our lovely guides are not required, but they are appreciated!

Will we visit the same places as other tours?

No. While some tours may have one or two stops which other groups visit (can’t help it if they’re popular!), Eating Europe are proud that the majority of stops on every Prague tour are restaurants and vendors who work exclusively with us.

Do you offer private or custom tours?

We do! Please see the “Book a Private Tour” option or contact us, and we can arrange a private or custom Prague tour to suit your specific needs.
