Chez Marcel

We sat on the sidewalk café area, like good Czech visitors. I had Rabbit Comfit, my wife had the Goat Cheese Salad. Both were outstanding. Chocolate Ganache with vanilla Ice Cream was a perfect finish to the meal. The wait staff were wonderful. Attentive and polite.

FANTASTIC!!! Mussels, fromage, hanger steak (rare), potato gratin, escargot… butter, butter, cream! Say yes to all! Try a little French if you dare. You will also get a little French snobbery, but also hospitality. HUGE FAN. And, bigger belly for it.

Great restaurant, brilliant service, excellent food for a good price. This is a nice cozy place if you want to dine outside the tourist area.

Beyond obnoxious. We arrive to an uncrowded restaurant, are seated, and ignored for 15 minutes — no drink order, no menu, no nothing. Finally a waiter wordlessly drops off menus. No drink order. 10 more minutes. Then he comes over and just looks at us, obviously annoyed to have to wait on Americans.
We say good bye and leave.
We are quiet middle aged and sober. Go to Lokal around the block if you are American.

This is an intimate welcoming little café in the old town of Prague. I ended up using more of my French than my Czech, which is limited to «excuse me?», and we shared an onion soup and a cheese plate. He spent the afternoon at the bar while I explored the neighborhood. I would heartily recommend this bar/​restaurant to Unilocalers who happen to be lucky enough to be in Prague.

Sehr nettes Lokal, gute französische Küche und trotzdem legere Athmosphäre mit gutem Preis-​Leistungs-​Verhältnis.
Der Service war nett und aufmerksam. Zu essen hatten wir durchweg Fleischgerichte, die alle perfekt gegart waren. Die Tarte Tartin zum Nachtisch war etwas untypisch, dennoch sehr lecker. Auch der Hauswein ist sehr zu empfeheln.
Kurz gesagt: wir waren rundum glücklich und würden jederzeit wieder kommen.

We read about Chez Marcel in one of the travel books, and it was a great recommendation. The food was delicious and service was good. We had the following for dinner.
— Mushroom with foie gras — My husband enjoyed the foie gras and the rich flavors from the sauce.
— Slow roasted pork belly with truffle mashed potato — My husband liked the pork belly as well.
— Salad maison — I had a lovely salad with prawns, avocado, mango, oranges, fennel, cherry tomatoes. The orange dressing was a nice touch.
— Apple tart with ice cream — This dessert was recommended by our waiter. The apple tart was very interesting with the crust and a pile of cooked apples.
— Crème brûlée — Always a favorite, but this place makes it very well.
It was a very nice French restaurant to visit in Prague. The restaurant did get crowded, so it is recommended to come early for a table.

Beautiful little French Brasserie in the Jewish quarter of Prague with high domed ceilings and warm mottled walls. We popped in for a last stop on the way home at around 11.45 on a Thursday night and were very glad that we did.
The staff are warm and friendly and serve you with smiles. The world’s biggest Worcester sauce bottle sits on the bar and above the bar is a continuous line of miniatures in all kinds of colours. Also quite intreaguing are the two Eiffel tower shaped bottles of liquer behind the bar — one is filed with a golden liquid and one ith a green liquid (which I suspect is absynth, yuuuuuuuch). I loved looking around this place — there was so much to see. The illuminated globe was great and is something that I’ve wanted since I was a kid. Either an iluminated glbe or one that’s secretly a drinks cabinet.
I had a jack daniels and coke and my partner had an espresso, which he claimed was a serious shot of coffee. It came in less than a minute and was served in a little square cup which meant that you could only drink from one angle.
Overall, a lovely experience and a lovely end to the evening. I would definitely go back.
