In restaurant: Bring a little patience...

  • When in Prague, be sure to bring a little patience with you in terms of customer service in restuarants and shops. It is true that this is an area that needs a little work but remember, up until just over a decade ago, there was NO SUCH THING as customer service. They're still learning and as such, service isn't always with a smile and is sometimes rough around the edges.

    Not so much at the finer establishments but the little "diner" type places and bistros.

    Two places we had quite good service were Chez Marcel and Rugantino's Pizza.

    Beer!: Only 1 type of Beer at each Establishment

  • Prague Beer!
  • I don't drink beer but hubby loved
  • it!

  • In Prague, they don't do it like in the US. You don't walk up to the bar and see 15 different brews on tap. Each place serves ONE brand of beer and that's it.

    So, if you know there's a particular brand you want to try, look for the sign. That's how you'll be able to identify who's selling what.

    Countless times we saw people sitting down in a place and try to order a beer only to be told by the server that they didn't serve that brand. Some people didn't care and just ordered whatever the place had. But others would get upset that they had to get up and leave because they couldn't get their favorite beer.

    Just be aware of this and look at the logos on the windows and such before you go in.

    :)

     "Service isn't always with a smile..." hell, I settle for any service at all, the smile you can keep! Their "service" is nonexistent.

     Welcome to VT! I adored Prague and I see you had fun time there. Here is only thing: I didn't like kielbasa in Prague. Better try it in Kiev ;-) Olenka
