A-Tout-Prague.com: A tourist AND restaurant guide!
June 2009 - Since 1998, we have been testing and tasting the best Prague restaurants. It's a tough job, but someone has to do it. The city boasts many restaurants, some excellent, some merely passable. Ten years ago, the number of truly good restaurants could be counted on one hand and their addresses circulated quickly among gourmet connoisseurs. Today, this is no longer the case, and it is often difficult to keep up with all the excellent new openings. And so we have decided to expand our guide to Prague by adding some great places to eat, starting with the Old Town. Feel free to contribute by suggesting restaurants to add and sending your own opinions to atout@a-tout-prague.com.
