Tesco

I love Tesco in general because they have a good variety of self branded products that are excellent. Considering they do not have branches in Germany, spotting one in Prague brought a smile to my face :-)
This one has many of the classic English products along with a wide range of local beers and so on. We ended up doing a bit of Christmas shopping here for non perishable grocery items and things you cannot easily get in Germany.
Prices are reasonable and whilst more than what you would pay in the uk, however, better than what we would pay for the same in Germany.

I ended up here more times than I care when I was in Prague for New Year’s. It’s conveniently located near public transit and tourist attractions. The supermarket/​grocery portion is located in the basement or, I suppose, the first floor. The rest of the floor is your basic department store where you can buy perfume, clothes, shoes, gifts. I bought a pair of cheap shoes but they were no good in the rain since my socks would be wet even stepping through small puddles. You get what you pay for! I did have problems using my American debit/​credit cards here and ended up having to withdraw cash. The workers all seemed to speak English.
The grocery portion of the store was hit or miss. Maybe because it was around New Year’s, and many tourists around, the fruit and vegetable shelves were sometimes empty. There was a wide selection of freshly-​baked breads. I was jealous that in America, we don’t get such a wide varieties of freshly-​baked breads in our supermarkets, let alone as cheap as the Czech Republic! Also well-​loaded sausage, meat, and fish sections. Know your grams and kilograms!
On New Year’s Eve, the store was obviously crowded with locals and tourists grabbing last minute food stuffs and alcohol. One Aussie I met in the beer aisle asked how much Czech koruna (CZK) to the Aussie dollar since I had a conversion app on on my phone. I’m sure he was pleasantly surprised how cheap beer was. One bottle of Gambrinus came to 8,9 CZK or $ 0.39 USD! (at the exchange rate at that time). How do they afford to sell beer so cheap? Much cheaper than bottled water and soda! It’s like encouraging the population to drink beer: D
There is a self-​checkout aisle, but if you’re buying items with no barcode (i.e. fresh bread, pastries, vegetables), avoid it unless you know the Czech name. I also had a hard time using my American debit/​credit card at self-​checkout so ended up using cash.

I LOVE this market! The Czech love their chocolate, their bread (Including pastries) and liquid bread (aka beer), their dairy, and their liquor. Well, this place is the Library of Congress of ALL of these. And, they are all offered a prices to make an American think that he died and went to supermarket heaven.

This was a bizarre experience. Instead of motorway services they have tesco! They sell tyres and live carp! these are a traditional christmas dinner and they keep them in the bath until despatched. It was like going back in time. The consumer goods are quite old fashioned by our standards but it is a novel experience just the same. Food was good by the way, some kind of stew.

Excellent location, in the center of Prague, close to trams and tube stations. Great place to shop and find moreless everything from items to daily use as well as presents from you visit to Prague. Also serve fast food. All at reasonable prices.

ja da gibt es wirklich alles, sowas wie karstadt eben. selbst ein wenig andere postkarten als in der rest der stadt (nah bei der tabakabteilung) gab es da. nicht zu vergessen ein paar billige fressbuden (kartoffelpuffer mit würstchen, backwaren[herzhaft/süss], softeis und dieses tschesciche gebbäck eine art rolle) zum frühstück hinter dem Tesco :)

Überirdisch gibt es bei Tesco alles, was man so fürs Leben brauchen könnte. Haushaltswaren, Tierfutter, Kindergeschenke, Schmuck, Kosmetikartikel, Elektronikkram und Kleidung natürlich sowieso. Außerdem Zeitschriften (auch internationale) und die Möglichkeit, Fotos entwickeln oder von der Speicherkarte auf CD brennen zu lassen.
Außerdem gibt es noch eine kleine Ecke mit Lebensmitteln, die richtig große Auswahl daran erwartet Einkäufer aber im Untergeschoss (separater Eingang). In dem zu Tesco gehörenden Supermarkt gibt es alles, was deutsche Supermärkte auch im Angebot haben. Die Auswahl ist groß, die Qualität schwankend. Das Gemüse ist nicht immer so ganz frisch, da lohnt es sich ein bisschen genauer hinzugucken.
Abends, so gegen 18 Uhr, ist der Supermarkt so gerammelt voll, dass man für die Wartezeit an den Kassen besser ein Buch einstecken hat, aber später oder tagsüber kann man dort gut einkaufen.
Tesco liegt direkt an der Metrostation (Linie B) und Tram-​Haltestelle Národní trída.
Ach, wer nach dem ganzen Shoppen Hunger hat, kann entweder den hinteren Tesco-​Ausgang (Richtung Metro) nehmen, und in der dortigen Passage eine leckere Crêpe essen, oder sich an dem Euro-​Hotdog-​Stand vor dem vorderen Ausgang (Richtung Narodni) einen Hotdog gönnen. Im Gegensatzu den Würstchen, die einem an den Buden am Wenzelsplatz verkauft werden, sind die ganz gut essbar, besonders die schärfere Special-​Variante.
