This was my first time dining in Praha Bistro. What a treat! If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Our server, Maria, was excellent. Fast, friendly, professional, efficient. Both my husband and I ordered gulash with dumplings. Dumplings were exactly how they should be. Perfect. Gulash was excellent. Meat was tender and sauce was very tasty. We also had apple strudel with whipped cream and ice cream. Again excellent! I shared my strudel with my husband so in the photo it's 1/2 the portion. Love the classical music and the ambience! Wherever I'll be in Edmonton, I'll be back.

I had an exceptional experience at this place! The atmosphere was absolutely delightful, with beautiful classical music setting a serene and elegant tone. Every detail, from the décor to the service, was carefully thought out, creating a cohesive and stylish ambiance. The food was absolutely delicious—every dish was a true culinary delight. The staff were incredibly friendly and professional, making the entire experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a refined and memorable dining experience!

Oh my goodness. What a gem. I had no idea this was tucked away in downtown Edmonton. This was an absolute treat. The goulash was divine. I had a canape that took me back to my childhood. The Austria apple struddle was the perfect dessert to top off a delicious meal. Oh and I can't forget to mention the potato salad, it somehow tastes just like how my Mom makes it.

To be short, delicious, inviting, and elegant. I tried the Schnitzel “Cordon Blue” accompanied by the “Jeremy Salad” (dressing is delightful) and side Homemade Sauerkraut, the Kozel and Czechvar beer, and the Crepe “a ’la King”. All of which were delicious, the schnitzel breading was just the right amount of crunch, texture, and flavour. Paired with the sauerkraut to expand the taste which it most satisfyingly did. Tried two of the dark Czech beers, the Kozel is my personal favourite, but both are great. Topped it off with the crepe desert, and to be honest, blew my mind away. I will definitely come here again and recommend it to everyone. Service was also pleasantly splendid. The price per the review is because I went all out, we always have to y’know! P.S. share the sauerkraut with at least 2 people haha. Edit: Came again the next day! Got the Smoked Pork Shoulder, 2x Kozel, and the Smoked Salmon Canapés. Needless to say, all delicious. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND the smoked pork shoulder, perfectly tender, juicy, and taste. Also, presentation on point!

Ever had a meal so good you knew it was the best of the trip before the trip was even over? I just had lunch at Bistro Praha and that's the feeling I have. I ordered the traditional Schnitzel and it was literally the best I've ever had (I'm nearly 70). The house salad was much better than one would expect a complimentary salad to be. I couldn't resist trying the soup Dejour, Cream of Pickle. I'd never heard of it before, it was wonderful. I won't be able to order Schnitzel ever again. I had no idea what a good Schnitzel was, but I live 900 miles away. So, of course, with everything being so good, I ordered dessert. I think it was called 'Austrian' Apple Strudel. It was definitely apple strudel though and yes, it was delicious. The server was Rhonda and her knowledge of Czech cuisine is obvious. She made the whole lunch experience wonderful.

Finally made some time to visit Bistro Praha. It was fantastic! Tremaine (I believe) was our server and offered some great suggestions. We ordered the fried breaded cheese and it was delicious! The house-made tartar sauce that came with it was great too. Ordered the Beef goulash with bread dumplings and the schnitzel “cordon bleu” - both of which were delicious as well: savoury, packed full of flavour and decent portions as well! I had ordered the 1/2 size order and found it was more than enough for me. Finally, we finished with the apple strudel with ice cream, and it was warm, sweet and the pastry was perfectly crispy and flakey. I’m looking forward to returning to try the other items on the menu.

It was my first time at the restaurant, and I had schnitzel cordon bleu with potato salad and apple strudel everything was delicious with simple yet refined flavors. I must say, I especially liked their potato salad! It was a perfect way to celebrate pre-Thanksgiving with a good friend of mine. However, the evening took a bizarre turn when a guy at a nearby table scorned us for wearing perfume, claiming it was making his throat clog up (sorry about that!). For the record, I was wearing Coco Mademoiselle by Chanel. Having lived on five continents, I ve never experienced anything like that before. Looking back, I think he was trying to get us to move, as he approached us twice and even said the perfume smelled chemical-like. It was certainly a new experience for us, but I digress the food was good, and I would like to try their trout next. Very interesting menu.

They would not work with a delivery company to bring a homeland meal to my ailing grandmother in hospital so I could order for her from out of town. For that they get 1-star or less for lack of compassion. One day they can be in her shoes it is called karma.

Tried this restaurant for the first time last weekend and I kick myself for not finding it sooner. The restaurant is located downtown and is relatively small - and it was packed - so reservations are necessary. The atmosphere is warm and surrounded by classical music. Our server was attentive and brought drinks out quickly. The menu is typical European with dishes from Hungary (goulash), Germany (Kasseler) and Austria (Wiener Schnitzel). My husband and friends had the Wiener Schnitzel and I chose the special (artic char). Appetizers were escargots and the fried cheese - which is surprisingly good. Portions were large, the food was delightful. Will definitely visit again!

Holy smokes this place blew my mind. It doesn t look like much more than a plaza takeout restaurant that you d easily miss from the outside, but once in you are greeted with some beautiful and rustic European art and decor. A warm and inviting atmosphere with great service. The arrival of the food is when all the pieces came together. Perfection! I started with the smoked salmon plate, which was simple yet delicious. The steak a la tartare is what really set this place apart from the rest. Easily one of the top 3 dishes I ve ever tasted and THE BEST steak tartare I ve ever had, and I love a good steak tartare. Trust me on this one go here get the steak tartare!!

Our server there was so rude and ignorant but we just adjusted to his attitude and understood him because he is old; he also thinks he knows everything but it was so funny that he was always saying I know, I know but still delivered wrong orders from our table. I still gave him 25% tip though because I felt bad that he is still working in that age. Great food and nice ambiance.

We came for dinner on a Saturday night. Unfortunately the tables were not very accommodating for taller men (and I d assume plus sized patrons). My husband and our friend both had to sit with their legs unable to sit under the table st all. Their knees were hitting the edge of the table with no part of their leg under the table whatsoever. Even I was a bit uncomfortable as an average size woman as I could not fully fit my whole legs under. We asked if we could be switched but were told all tables were like this. However, the food was amazing and the service from our waiter was exceptional. We would have absolutely returned and had this as one of our favourites, had the seating been more comfortable. There is simply no way we could return with the seating they currently have.

Bistro Praha never fails to impress. This is an unpretentious but confident restaurant - you won t see fusion foods or trendy menu items and the staff aren t fawning over you. They have had virtually the same menu for the twenty years I ve been going there. And for good reason! The tartare is to die for, the salad is simple but delicious. Why mess with a good thing? Service was a touch slow and hands off, but it was a decently busy dining room. Dinner was good enough to make me want to brave downtown parking again soon!

I hadnt been to this place in over a decade, so I thought why not give it a try to support local business.To be fair, the food was decent and we enjoyed the atmosphere. However, the server, I believe is one of the owners, ruined it all. I didn t have high expectations after reading some one-star reviews, as I was mainly interested in the food. I understand that tips are earned, and while I recognize the challenges of making a living these days, I still left a 12% tip (even though the machine offered a 10% option). Given the level of service, I felt this was fair. What was truly frustrating was when the server came running outside to confront us about the tip, questioning our satisfaction and expressing his frustration. I calmly asked him to check the bill again, at which point he realized we had indeed left a tip. He then returned to the kitchen without apologizing or acknowledging us as we left. I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience marked by entitlement and unreasonable tipping expectations compelled me to speak up. To the Owner: tipping is a gratuity meant to reward good service, not an obligation. It should be earned, not expected.

We came here for dinner, and left incredibly disappointed. One of the owners greeted us, and was so unfriendly and court once he saw us and our 2 children walk in, we ended up changing our minds and doing take out instead because we felt so unwelcomed. We had the half order of schnitzel and pork shoulder and the portions were incredibly small (imagine 2 small slices of pork for $22!). Food was nothing special either - it was ready for take out in 3 mins so obviously the food was not made fresh. So confused why this place gets good ratings yet our experience with the service, food, and value were so poor.

I recently had an amazing time at this place, where I had their Rack of Lamb. I must say, the lamb was incredibly succulent - it was so tender and perfectly seasoned with rosemary and garlic. The stir-fried vegetables on the side were not just an afterthought; they were crunchy, flavorful, and really complemented the lamb well. The mint sauce also added a fresh, cool twist to the dish and enhanced all the flavors. I also want to give a shoutout to Trumain, my server, who truly went above and beyond to make my dining experience pleasant and special.

I regret I didn t take photos as the presentation of the food was simple and very nice on proper white plates. The sauerkraut soup was absolutely delicious and the best I had. The texture and just the right amount of sour was amazing. Can t recommend trying it enough. The fried cheese was very tasty and the coating was lite and perfect. The pairing with tartar sauce is just brilliant. The dark check republic beer was very nice . The snitzel was the best I ve had in Canada. Couldn t get more authentic anywhere else in Edmonton . My absolute favourite thing was the whip cream that came with the apple strudel. It has to be homemade. It was light with just the right amount of sweetness and such a delightful cream taste. Absolutely delicious and I loved it. The lady who served me was an excellent waitress and kept checking in on me to see if I was enjoying everything and if anything was needed. I been wanting to come to bistro Praha for years and it did not disappoint. Now my new favourite restaurant in the city of Edmonton. The atmosphere is great . Honestly can t recommend this place enough. Even the pictures on other posts don t do how good the food is justice. So if you re looking to try this place out for the first time you will be in for a treat. :) Vegetarian options: The fried cheese was delicious.

First before I start I must inform you all that this is not your everyday walk in restaurant. As this place is quite popular it is almost always booked so plan a couple of days ahead. That said if they can fit you in they will currently try that was the case with me. Now onto the stuff you want to know. My experience at this restaurant has me honestly saying it lives up to its boasts. I started with the famous fried cheese this is a nice light appetizer that cleanses the palette and prepares you to embark on a truly authentic European experience. I had the wiener schnitzel and my guest had the cordon bleu schnitzel on the recommendation of our server Trumain. Having been able to try both I have this to say if you want traditional schnitzel that takes you back to old country the wiener is for you. If you want the flavorful experience go with the cordon bleu. For dessert we had the peach crepe also on Trumains recommendation this was a nice end to the meal and was well executed. If I was asked to give a negative to this experience it would only be that water service was slow. Wheelchair accessibility: Make sure to let them know when you are booking as the place is quite crowded and so they can get you a table that doesnt lock you in

Nice and cozy restaurant with some good Central European food. We ordered the Escargot, steak tartare and goulash to start. The Escargot was baked in a dish with garlic and oil and served with some toasted bread. The texture was a little soft but the flavour was good! The goulash was served with some bread dumplings and a lot of tender braised beef. It could have used a little more salt but the meat was quite soft and easy to eat. The steak tartare was really good, we ordered a large portion and it came with enough to easily share between 4 people. The toast was incredibly crispy and had a nice subtle nutty flavour to it. The steak itself was soft and paired very nicely with the bread. I would definitely recommend the steak tartare. For our mains, we each ordered a schnitzel. I had the Cordon Bleu schnitzel which came out piping hot with a side of potato salad. The schnitzel was super thin and had a lot of melted cheese oozing out of it when I cut into it. The schnitzel was fried perfectly and came out as a nice even golden brown and also came out pretty light with very little oil sticking to the breading. Overall a pretty good schnitzel, 8/10. For dessert, I had an apple strudel with whipped cream and vanilla ice cream. The strudel came out hot and flaky. The strudel itself was not too sweet and was really good when paired with the light and airy whipped cream. You cant go wrong with ice cream on the side either. I would definitely come back for sure.

We will definitely visit Bistro Praha soon, but certainly with a reservation in advance.

One of the best Euro restaurants in Edmonton. I loved the Rice Howard way location. It was so great and so peaceful there. The only downside now is the location on 101 Street.

Unfortunately we did not get to eat the food. Place looks great & comes highly recommended. But we were told we could not come in because it was full, while it was empty. This is regrettable. we were passing through Edmonton downtown and looking for a place to eat on a 4:50 Pm on a Saturday, in an area a bit sketchy and would probably been out by 6:30PM. Anyways, to future customers - make a reservation. To the owner, that s literally not the way to treat out of town app passerbys, you just missed on a good review & no, we will probably not be back

What a wonderful place. The portions are perfect and all, literally everything is delicious. The Schnitzel is lightly battered and perfectly cooked. The homemade sauerkraut is amazing. The strudel is delicious. The service is friendly and timely. A perfect place for dinner before the game or movie and prices are more than reasonable.

My friend and I found the restaurant on Google. We decided to give a try since neither of us have heard Czech food. We ordered a beef soup with bread dumplings. The bread was soft and we both loved it. Saurerkraut and Schnizel were both tasty. I personally loved the salad as well. I will definitely come again. Good service as well

It was the most horrible experience!!! 1. After in hour in that place we were told by a waiter Dude, you should do something with your kids,they are uncontrolled , I was shocked, because nobody anywhere said such things about our kids before, they are 3, they are just cheerful, didn t bother other clients, just laughing and running near our table, that was in the corner where nobody else sat. If it s the place where children are not welcome- there should be a sign, but it s unethical to tell parents such things, it s not up to waiter to decide if they are controlled or not 2. The was was disgusting, shtrudel was cold and not tasty, coffee was bitter and snacks just like in the cheapest place I would never come back there, and wouldn t recommend anybody with small kids to go there.l, you are not welcome

Absolutely outstanding restaurant. Every single visit is a great one. Food is outstanding and delicious every time. Best schnitzel and tartare in town! Can t go wrong with Czech beer either! Service is warm, friendly and fun! The staff and owners treat you like family. The atmosphere is unique and much needed in Edmonton. With classical music and stunning artwork this place is truly one of a kind.

Great food. The schnitzel was delicious as was the salad and potatoes. However the service was a bit disappointing considering the restaurants reputation. My server didnt check on me at all during my meal or offer to refill my water and seemed more interested in chatting with one of their regular customers. Considering that the restaurant was mostly empty and I paid almost $30 for an entree, this was kind of surprising.

I ve wanted to try this Edmonton institution for years and I m so glad we made the time to go. FOOD We ordered: -The fried cheese, which was crispy, hot, melty and absolutely delicious -The herring, which was served with sour cream and was delicious and perfectly tart -The spaghetti with salami flakes, which was perfectly al dente and had a fabulous aglio olio sauce that complimented the salami -The cordon bleu, which is their schnitzel stuffed with cheese and ham - I have never had a more perfectly spiced and cooked schnitzel in my life. It was delectable and honestly one of the tastiest things I ve eaten in this city SERVICE The service was outstanding. Justin was extremely attentive, and timed his check-ins well so that he wasn t overwhelming us but we still felt very looked after. The older gentleman (owner?) also welcomed us and checked in regularly which was appreciated. AMBIENCE I never remove stars for lacking ambience but that wouldn t have been a problem because the place had a lovely old-world European charm. OVERALL IMPRESSIONS The quaint interior, phenomenal service and incredible food make this place a winner. I would recommend this place again in a heartbeat.

I had always held this as my 1st choice, if I could go anywhere for a real meal. a good European meal, memories were brought forward. from my youngest food momories the steak tartar. and strudel and wine Wheelchair accessibility: my walker fit. though prearrange for your reservation to accommodate the required space

Their steak tartare is the best i have had to this day...and I have had it multiple times all over Europe, as well as Canada. There is a reason the writer from the New York times wrote highly of this restaurant. The portions are fair, the food is delicious, the service is good, the establishment is clean. The only thing i wish they would change is some different desserts. The crepes are nice but would like other options to entice me. Thank you for being a staple in my life.

We first heard of Bistro Praha from an article in the New York Times sent to us by friends who were visiting from Ontario, so we decided to give it a try. Well OMG! from the moment you walk in the service is exceptional and the food is off the charts DELICIOUS! The sauerkraut soup if I closed my eyes Id swear I was back in my mothers kitchen. The lamb was the best our friend said hes ever had. My husband had the Wiener Schnitzel and was not disappointed. I had the duck and it was EXCELLENT! How the chef managed to still get the skin crispy with it sitting on Au Jus is beyond me and not an ounce of fat. I could go on and on about the fabulous experience we had. Not to mention the incredible Crepes for dessert. If youre wanting/craving a home cooked meal this is definitely the place to go. Reasonable prices and lovely ambience. Thank you Bistro Praha. We will definitely be back!

I have friends from Europe, they always love this place, I think I eat here 2 times, I understand why my friends like here, food should have 3 stars and they give extra star because they feel close to home. we order fish and duck, sole is great, they give me the wrong order at beginning, but they change it. Sole is good, simple way to cook and simple taste. The roast duck is ok, we try to finish but in the end the duck kind of too hard to chew, and bit dry also. Sadly I wont recommend duck. place is clean but kind of tight, if you have a large group may not easy to range, we been asked move our table when we already sit down, they probably have a large group coming later, have to move around give them more space. Last thing friendly remind Sunday no lunch, they start 4pm, but Sunday dt park free all day. Parking: if weekend have more free park, weekdays before 6 need pay park. Wheelchair accessibility: space very small, wheelchair could get in, but wont feel too much space to move around. if you need go make sure call ahead tell them first
