They brew their own beer too, a rich, dark ale with a little fizz that goes down all too well. If you ask nicely they may let you sneak a look at their bijou brewery. U Fleku is, of course, pretty touristy, but the beer is spot on and they do decent hearty Czech food too, such as beef and dumplings smothered in cream.

The futuristic rocket that towers over Prague at a height of 216 meters. Built to block transmissions from the decadent West it ironically wasn’t finished until after the Berlin Wall came down. The hip bar is all black-clad staff and cocktails, but the main highlight is the views of the city. There is a restaurant here too and if you’re feeling flash, a single suite that costs €1,000 a night!

Vytopna is probably the best restaurant in Prague to take children to, but don't let this put others off. The miniature railway will fascinate most people.
