Tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the city, on a cobblestone lane in Mala Strana is a great Greek restaurant for love birds who crave candlelight with their dinner. Faros has an authentic Greek ambiance and music and a good selection of starters. Try some Retsin or Ouzo with the delicious lamb. |

"Neither in heaven nor on earth" someone was overheard saying in this intimate spot. The interior is designed with bright colouurs and is somewhat reminiscent of a boudour, albeit, a very elegant one. While the decor and name might suggest a French restaurant the Yugoslavian chef prepares lamb, veal and of course fish, in true Balkan style. They also serve dishes rarely found in this area such as octopus and shell fish. |

A tiny family-run restaurant, the space probably holds less than 20 people. The few who do manage to secure a table here are sure to enjoy some of the best Mediterranean cooking anywhere. If you're not sure what that even means by all means ask. The friendly staff will educate and recommend and make you feel as much as home as if you were in your Grandma's kitchen. |
Bazaar Mediterranean
Nerudova 40
Prague 1
Tel: 257 525 050 |
An enormous brick-lined Gothic cellar close to Prague Castle with intimate lighting and awfully busy waiters wearing headsets. Although it's a gorgeous place perhaps it should have been called 'bizarre'. Where else can you enjoy excellent Greek fare such as tangy gazpacho, skewered lamb, eggplant cannelloni and carpaccio whilst watching exotic dancers - of both genders - freak to loud club music? If that's a bit much there's a beautiful garden terrace to escape to. Be sure to reserve a table first though because Bazaar is wildly popular. |
