Lobkowicz Palace Cafe

Prague, Prague, Czech Republic

The Lobkowicz Palace Cafe is a restaurant that's located inside Lobkowicz Palace. If you pay for entrance to the palace (which is a good idea - it's excellent), you get a 10% discount at the cafe. The cafe is close, so it's convenient. The quality of the food is also quite good, for Prague. We weren't overly impressed with the food in Prague, but this cafe is one of the better meals we had while in the city.

If the weather is nice, sit outside - there's an excellent view of Prague from the balcony!

Cost

The Lobkowicz Palace Cafe is more expensive than an average restaurant in Prague, but I also found the food to be more enjoyable.

Dress

Fairly casual - jeans and a t-shirt is fine.

Service

Like most restaurants, this is a "seat yourself" place, so you can just walk in and sit down at any free table. There was nothing noteworthy about the service here. Our waiter spoke English, and the menu was also in English.

Items Ordered

Bread

This bread was brought to our table after we had placed our order. The bread tasted fresh, which was a nice surprise. Most of the other restaurants we ate in offered bread that was hard, and probably a little stale.

Mixed Greens Salad

Mixed greens in a light balsamic vinaigrette

The mixed green salad was quite large - easily large enough for two people to share as a small appetizer. The salad had a nice selection of tasty greens. The dressing on the salad had a nice hint of sweetness.

Green Pea Soup

This soup was simply spectacular. It's one of the best soups I've ever had. It was easily the best thing about eating at this Cafe. The soup tasted just like real cream, with a slight hint of vegetable. The bun it was served with was plain (similar to the other buns that were brought to our table), but dipping it in the soup made it much better.

Grilled Chicken Breast with Potatoes

After such an outstanding soup, this dish was disappointing. The cabbage in mayonnaise was good, but not very exciting. The chicken was also quite plain, and a disappointment. It lacked any kind of flavor. The mashed potatoes were nice and creamy.

Homemade Cheesecake

The piece of cheesecake was quite small. The orange fruit on top tasted a little bit like a kiwi, which was unexpected. The cheesecake had a mild spiced flavor, and was nice and creamy. I enjoyed the cheesecake, and wished there was more of it ;)
