Master these tips to enjoy dining in Prague like a local!

📞 Reservations: Book your table in advance, especially outside tourist areas. Do it online, by phone, or in person. Most places have English-speaking staff and websites.

⏰ Leisurely Dining: Czech servers won't rush you, so relax and enjoy your meal. Just remember to honor your reservation time if specified.

🥨 Paid Extras: Expect to pay for bread, water, and condiments. Free refills? Not here!

🎩 Server Style: Czech servers might seem brusque, but they’re just efficient and non-chatty. Good service means timely orders and full beer mugs.

💸 Paying the Bill: When ready to pay, say "Zaplatim." For group bills, pay together or individually at the register. For tips, tell the server the total amount you want to pay (e.g., if your bill is 300 Kč, say "330" for a 30 Kč tip). There's no tip line on receipts.

👌 Tipping: For bills under 300 Kč, round up to the nearest 50 Kč. For higher bills, a 10% tip is appreciated. Remember to state your total including the tip when paying by card.

🧞‍♂️ Special Requests: Substitution requests are hit or miss. Traditional places might not accommodate changes, but it never hurts to ask!
