10 spots to grab a quick lunch in Prague
1. The salad bar at Pizza Nuova
Parma ham, buffalo mozzarella, Gran Padano cheese, or fresh tomatoes. Just tell the server you’ll have a salad, cut the waiting time, and load up your plate with Italian cured meats, cheeses, and salads from the antipasti buffet. And feel free to go back for seconds!
2. On the go at Kantýna
Just walk into Kantýna, grab a tray, and at the serving window, they’ll load it up with whatever you’re in the mood for. You don’t even have to waste time looking for a seat—you can eat standing up. If you’d like something quick to take away, we recommend the beef heart pastrami sandwich from the deli. It’s conveniently wrapped in foil and tastes great, even once it cools down. And during the week, you’ll find hearty open-faced sandwiches in the butcher shop’s display case.

We don't take reservations – thanks for understanding.
3. Nikkei sushi and salad at Brasileiro
In the mood for something different? Sushi, oysters, seafood salad, or shrimp with mango and chilli are just a taster of what awaits you at the salad bar at Brasileiro U Zelené žáby. If you’re in a hurry, you’ll be done eating in twenty minutes. And if not, you can sit back and take advantage of the all-you-can-eat policy.

4. Sandwiches from Naše maso
A cup of broth, a sandwich, meatloaf in a bun, or a burger? Yum! But if you’re still not sure what to choose, the butchers at Naše maso will be happy to help. And if you’re in a real hurry, they’ll whip up a hot dog in a matter of minutes.

5. Pulled meat from Bufet
Pulled meat with mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables will be especially appreciated by those who aren’t in the mood for fast food. All you have to do is decide whether you’d rather have chicken or beef. And if you do feel like indulging a little, they’re ready for you too, with burgers, fried chicken, or the monthly specials!
6. Ready-to-eat meals at Lokál
Would you like Dutch schnitzel with mashed potatoes, or beef stew with rice? No matter which Lokál you visit, you’re be sure to find something you like. The specials change throughout the day, but there’s always something hot on the menu until closing time.
Good beer and honest cooking
We serve beer that's fresh, right to the last sip, and real home cooking. Lokál is a place where good beer and honest food matter.
7. Langoš from Skô
If you’re near Holešovice, stop by for this Slovak fried classic. At Skô, they serve it in two versions at the snack bar, either the classic OG or the special. Let yourself be surprised by whatever Tomáš Valkovič’s team has prepared for you.
8. Salad at Bju
If you just want something light for lunch and you’re in the city centre, pop into the Bjukitchen bistro to try one of their salads, soups or sandwiches.
9. Sandwiches at Eska
A hearty sandwich filled with cheese, Prague ham, or pastrami? Or would you rather go for toasted bread with tomatoes and mozzarella? Both the Karlín and Letná branches of Eska offer fresh sandwiches daily. Perfect for on the go or as a quick fix for a big appetite.
10. A Czech classic at Biskup
Czech cuisine in the form of a quick snack? That’s what awaits you at Biskup, a restaurant and shop on the corner of Dlouhá and Hradební. During the day, they serve a lunch menu featuring classics like pasta with paprika sauce, tomato soup, garlic soup, or broth with fruit compote. Biskup has a brisk pace, which you’ll experience at your table in front of the open kitchen.
