About this tour
This session walks a Czech food route through Karlín and the New Town, from a lahůdky counter of open sandwiches to a kitchen plating svíčková with bread dumplings. You see kulajda, the sour mushroom soup, carried out to a table and pastries cooling in a family bakery. It ends comparing Moravian wine against Czech pilsner.
The guide checks sound at the lahůdky counter, then moves kitchen to kitchen, explaining each dish as it is prepared or served. You can ask about ingredients, history or how a dish is traditionally eaten throughout the walk. A short list of where to find each stop is sent on afterwards.
This suits anyone planning to eat their way through Prague and wanting specific places rather than a general list. It also suits former visitors curious about dishes they never tried.
Included
- Live video session with a local guide
- A close look at the dishes and where locals buy them

Not included

Itinerary
-
Welcome and sound check 10 min
The guide joins the video call, checks the picture and sound with you, and gives you a quick sense of Prague before heading out.
-
A classic lahůdky counter 21 min
The camera looks along a lahůdky counter lined with chlebíčky, open sandwiches topped with everything from ham and egg to smoked salmon. The guide explains how these counters became a fixture of Czech lunches under communism and stayed that way.
-
A Svíčková kitchen 21 min
In a Karlín kitchen the camera watches svíčková, marinated beef in cream sauce, being plated with bread dumplings. The guide explains the vegetables and spices that go into the sauce before it is strained smooth.
-
Kulajda soup 21 min
The camera follows a bowl of kulajda, a sour mushroom soup with a poached egg on top, being carried to a table. The guide explains what makes this soup distinct from other Czech soups on the same menu.
-
A family bakery 21 min
The walk ends at a family bakery in the New Town, trays of koláče and větrník pastries cooling by the counter. The guide points out a shelf of Moravian wine and explains how it pairs against Czech pilsner.
-
Your questions 18 min
Time to ask anything about Prague: prices, safety, food, or whatever you are curious about.
-
A short list to keep 8 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Czech pilsner beer and Malá Strana, worth a slower look.
