The best breakfasts in Prague
But, appearances aside, the days and nights really happen in prague , marked, how could it be otherwise, to the rhythm of the famous astronomical clock. And as soon as it hits eight in the morning, Prague, like so many other cities, only think of one thing: coffee.
As you will see on your first sunrise in the Czech capital, the dilemma breakfast time in prague is where to take it, and with what to accompany it. Wholemeal bread and scrambled eggs, in the purest traditional style? Muesli with organic yogurt and dehydrated eggplant, following the new wave of experimental cuisine? Or how about a dose of literature from the city's favorite son? The options are endless.

THE CLASSIC
Let's start with a classic: the ** Café Savoy ** is one of the city's most beloved restaurants, a Prague institution that brings together the cream of the Czech Republic with exchange students and tourists following enthusiastic recommendations.
Only for these roofs is it worth starting the day here
The Savoy It is the ideal place to start the morning calmly and with a good dose of energy . The menu ranges from croissants with homemade jam, to brioche bread with Gruyère cheese and poached eggs, to the best vetniks (profiteroles) from Prague. Maybe here, and only here, you decide to give coffee a day off: Savoy's hot chocolate is known throughout the Czech Republic . Do not miss it.
Come in, enjoy the atmosphere and order a 'vetrnik'
BOOKS, PHILOSOPHY AND COFFEE
One thing to be clear about before going to Prague is that not all mornings are placid ...or else, ask gregor samsa , the unfortunate protagonist of Metamorphosis . For travelers who have come to Prague in the footsteps of Franz Kafka , and especially those who have gotten up after a restless night, the ** Café Louvre **, of which the writer was a regular customer, welcomes you with open arms.
Breakfasts are a plethora of traditional Czech dishes : hard-boiled eggs with cheese, goulash with onions and mixed salad with apple. The coffee is powerful and is served black, in a kind of liquid accompaniment to the Kafkaesque uneasiness.
For lovers of Kafkaesque philosophy
If your interest in Czech literature is less angsty and more intellectual, then your morning belongs to **The Globe Bookstore and Café**, where you can have breakfast between 10,000 books , including the work of other local geniuses such as Milan Kundera or Jan Neruda (from whom the Chilean Pablo borrowed his literary alter ego).
The Globe offers you Cinnamon French toast, pancakes with walnuts or vegetarian French tortillas, with all the coffee that your veins can hold. Take advantage of its tight calendar of events to plan a good brunch with a show: Trivial session, or a morning reading?
Pancakes!
In the middle of Wenceslas Square, the Cafe Tramway 11 has no loss. This former two-car streetcar sits on disused rails, and if it's not its fierce red color, It will be the smell of freshly baked bread that brings you . Strudel, honey cake, even pizza if last night's hangover hasn't left you yet. Tramway 11's menu is short and unassuming, but no catches: sweet is sweet, and coffee is strong. No more no less.
But let's not lose the north, and let's go back to the origins, to what got us out of bed this morning in Prague: coffee . If there's one restaurant in Prague that understands our obsession with the quintessential breakfast concoction, it's Muj Salek Kavy. caffeinated pleasures : cappuccinos, espressos, American, cold, hot… Muj Salek Kavy has them all, and they are good.
To accompany the drink, two recommendations: the homemade muesli with Greek yogurt and fruit, or their particular version of eggs Benedict. Unforgettable.
For coffee scholars
If you have decided to visit **Prague in summer** (a very good idea in our opinion), don't shut yourself in, even in the early morning, and have breakfast in one of the city's open-air markets. The Naplavka market, on the riverbank, is one of the best. Order coffee to go at BrewBar, try yogurt at Krasolesi, and wander among stalls selling cakes, donuts and profiteroles.
Prague's markets are some of its best attractions in summer, and the fact that they serve breakfast is the icing on the cake… or, since we're in Prague, the vetrnik.
