Eating and Drinking
There are three main types of establishment in Prague and elsewhere in the country where you can get something to eat: a restaurant ( restaurace ), where eating is ostensibly the main activity; a wine restaurant ( vinarna ), which tends to think of itself as a touch more exclusive; and, that most typical of Czech institutions, the pub ( pivnice ), though these are largely concerned with serious drinking - and are covered in the next section. In practice, these definitions are blurred, with some places having restaurace and pivnice sections under the same roof, some vinarna offering food, some only wine, and so on. Angel Cafe, Opatovicka 3, Nove Mesto. Sunny decor, friendly service, home-made cakes and imaginative meals make this a trendy eatery. Metro Narodni. Bar Bar , Vsehrdova 17, Mala Strana. Arty creperie with big, cheap salads and sweet and savoury pancakes. Metro Malostranska. Bazaar Mediterranee , Nerudova 40, Mala Strana. Sprawling wine cellar with a great terrace and French cooking - understandably popular with folk heading to and from the castle. Metro Malostranska.
