Restaurant – café Svatého Václava

Amazing, the menu is pretty good, we were served by a polite man in a traditional suit giving us tips and frictions for places we should visit in Prague, as it was our first day. The food was just as good!

I wasn’t very impressed. I thought it’s pricey. A tiny Pepsi is about $ 3 and my goulash is about $ 15. The service was slow. The food was so so. I wouldn’t come back.

The skewer was the best meal I had in Prague. Friendly waiter (rare in that city — many were rude to us elsewhere).
Homemade lemonade was ice cold and not too sweet. I saw iced coffee on the menu and made the great mistake of ordering it. Their version of iced coffee is called a frappé, not to be confused with frappuccino: it’s like a coffee milkshake with different layers of coffee intensity. So good!
Only complaint, as with practically every Czech restaurant, is the lack of separation between smoking and non-​smoking sections. What a downer.

Good food, good service. Prices are the only complaint. Maybe a little high, but since it’s located in Wenceslas Square that may even out.
Our favorites here were the Czech plate and the bacon dumplings! Also, they have ice!!! You know us Americans almost can’t drink anything without ice… thankfully this was available to quell our angry thirst monster (Mike S) ;-)

Typisch Tschechiche Hausmannskost in uriger Gemütlichkeit
Das Svaetho Vaclava ist ein typisch tschechisches Restaurant mit überwiegend deftiger Hausmannskost direkt am Wendzelsplatz im Herzen der Goldenen Stadt Prag. In der näheren Umgebung gibt es viele weitere Restaurants, aber dieses hat uns vor allem wegen der schon von außen erkennbaren urigen Gemütlichkeit und dem Mittelaltertouch hinein gelockt.
Die Karte hier ist wirklich groß und halt typisch tschechisch mit vielen deftigen Gerichten bestückt. Nicht unbedingt was für Vegetarier ;). Ich habe mich für das Hähnchen Heiliger Wendzel mit Speckknödel einer kleinen Portion Salat und Bratensauce entschieden. Das Hähnchen war wirklich vorzüglich und zudem gut mit Knoblauch und Thymian gewürzt. Die Portion war absolut okay, nicht zu viel und nicht zu wenig. Dazu gab es noch einen Cocktail.
Meine Begleitung hatte sich eine Portion Schnitzel geholt, die wohl auch sehr gut waren. Ich habe für mein Gericht und Cocktail knapp 500 Kronen also etwas weniger als 20 Euro bezahlt. Damit ist das Restaurant definitiv keins der Günstigen, die es dennoch zuhauf in der Stadt gibt. Allerdings spielt hier auch die Lage eine Rolle, denn der Wendzelsplatz gehört nunmal zu den größten Touristenspots der Stadt.
Der Service ist hier ausgezeichnet. Das Personal ist mehrsprachig und hat auch fließend deutsch gesprochen. Zur Rechnung gibt es dann noch für alle Gäste eine Portion frische Wassermelone gratis. Die Zubereitungszeit war mit 20 Minuten auch angemessen. Also abgesehen vom Preis kann ich das Restaurant wirklich weiterempfehlen, deswegen vergebe ich 4 Sterne.

This place was so good that we came back 4 times in 3 days. Yes yes, well, the jazz band, playing from 7 – 10 weekdays, was so good. The cocktails (I had an orgasm) were good too. The food was fresh and the menu in all languages and staff speaks a bunch of languages too. In fact it was an interesting place. Stop by the restroom while you’re there and place a pin near the city you’re from! Bonus, they have a handsome young Wenceslas dressed in medieval costume. A fun time was had by all!

Deftige Küche mit viel Fleisch aber auch guten Alternativen zu Ferkel, Hachsen, Steaks, Würstchen und Spießen… Nämlich: Schnitzel.
Freundliche Bedienung und das beste Essen in Prag — wenn man keine Vegetarier isst. Für die gibt es immerhin Kartoffel-​Brokkoli-​Käse-​Pfanne.

My wife and I first dined in this restaurant August 1, 2014. I am gluten and lactose free and seek understanding restaurants willing to comply. The staff of this restaurant, notably the «atmosphere manager» Jan Velek, did understand and made special efforts to assist in my menu choices. I had one of the local specialties, roast duck breast. It was seasoned and cooked to perfection, although the meat was chewy. It was served over a delicious blend of sauteed veggies. My wife had a plain sauteed chicken breast with an ala carte order of potatoes and onions. She enjoyed both. We shared a large bottle of mineral water with gas.
We enjoyed the food so much, and happened to be nearby on August 2^nd, that we ate there again. This time I had the herb encrusted trout and my wife had the chicken schnitzel. We shared an ala carte order of the sauteed veggies that I had so appreciated the previous day. The schnitzel and trout were excellent, but the veggies were soaked in oil. A different chef made them the 2^nd day. My wife and I also shared a pitcher of fresh lemonade. Very refreshing and not sickeningly sweet. Not cheap at about $ 7.50 usd, but beverages are usually expensive in better restaurants.
Service was excellent. Attentive but not intrusive.
With tips, our first meal cost around $ 40 usd and the second meal around $ 50 usd. This is probably average for meals without wine or expensive drinks in better restaurants in Prague.
If you are cruising this main tourist area, sit, rest and enjoy a great meal. They also own an Italian restaurant next door. Near the Muzeum stop on the red subway line; uphill from the Mustek stop on the green line.

Had the chicken here as I sat outside for lunch. The chicken came out a little dry, but I guess that is why they give you the broth? I dunno, it was a good lunch with nice outside seating.

Just fine :) its like any other family restaurant in any city, like tgi friday but with lokal food. The food is ok but nothing more. But if you like places like this then you will like this place to

Dieses Restaurant, direkt am Wenzelsplatz liegend, ist sehr zu empfehlen. Zuerst war ich äußerst misstrauisch, da es mir sehr touristisch aussah und ich hegte den Verdacht, dass man schlechtes Essen zu schlechten Preise bekäme. Doch ich wurde eines Besseren belehrt. Es gab eine reiche Auswahl an tschechischen Spezialitäten und das zu fairen Preisen. Meine Gulaschsuppe zu Anfang hat mir zwar nicht so prickelnd geschmeckt, der deftige Hauptgang Svickova war jedoch umwerfend gut und soooo viel. Die Nachspeise hat mir dann allerdings wieder eher nicht geschmeckt, was jedoch an meinem persönlichen Geschmack liegen dürfte, da ich absolut kein Fan von Zimt bin. Das Restaurant an sich war total überfüllt und es war sehr schwer einen Tisch für drei Personen zu bekommen, da wir spontan entschlossen hatten dort zu essen. Im Restaurant war es ohrenbetäubend laut, was aber nicht weiter gestört hat. Die Bedienungen waren stets freundlich und haben immerzu gelächelt. Sobald ich wieder nach Prag komme, werde ich dort wieder essen.

Truth be told, we were a little on the fragile side when we stumbled into the Svateho Vaclava on Thursday morning, having experienced a little too much of the czech culture the night before, but we’d walked around for about an hour already because it was a public holiday (Independence Day) and everywhere non-​touristy was closed.
Anyway, despite having to wave away two baskets of bread (I’ve learned about the cover charge now, thanks), we found we had a friendly and chatty waiter who told us all about 28^th October and its significance and brought us delicious bacon and eggs and potatoes. A plate of bacon and eggs with grated carrot, salad garnish and a massive pickled chilli pepper — utterly, utterly bizarre, but absolutely delicious and perfectly cooked.
As you’d expect in Wenceslas Square, it wasn’t cheap (about 600CK including service), but given that we didn’t have much choice, it was just about spot on.
