So, you’ve made it to the Czech capital, internationally famous for its beer and fairytale-esque streets and squares. But do you know where to go to eat like a local? What to order? Our Prague food and beer tour takes you to three Old Town spots to enjoy a variety of dishes and brews.
This is the birthplace of Pilsner but the home of many other beers. As a visitor, you cannot miss some proper Czech food to fill you up alongside your drinks. It’s not all meat and dumplings (although, don’t worry, you’ll get plenty of that too)!
Read on to find out what you’ll enjoy on our Prague food and beer tour.
FYI this Prague food tour includes a selection of starters, mains, and desserts, with a drink included at each stop.
Why Choose a Prague Food and Beer Tour?
This Prague food and beer tour offers unbeatable value for both money and time.
- Visit a different Old Town restaurant for each course.
- Instead of just one dish, you get to eat a range of starters, mains, and desserts.
- To top it off, each stop includes a drink: beer, wine, or a soft drink with your starter and main, followed by coffee with your dessert.
Exploring Prague’s food and beer scene on your own can be overwhelming—where do you start, and how do you find the truly local spots? Prague is a popular city, which means there are plenty of tourist traps. That’s where a guided Prague food and beer tour makes all the difference.
One of the biggest perks of a guided tour is the stories behind the food and beer. Every dish you try and pint you sip has a backstory, from its origins to how it became a staple in Czech culture. Unlike many other food tours in the city, our guides are all historical experts. They know their Prague history as walking tour guides, but you get the pleasure of their expertise in the warmth of Old Town restaurants!

Now let’s talk drinks!
You get a drink included at each stop: two alcoholic (if that’s your jam) and a coffee with dessert.
Beer tasting experience
The guide will dive into the rich history of beer in the Czech Republic, the birthplace of Pilsner. You’ll learn how beer has been an integral part of Czech culture for centuries, from medieval brewing traditions to the rise of iconic breweries.
Most visitors to the Czech Republic know about the country’s most famous export: Pilsner Urquell. However, on this Prague food and beer tour you can try two different Czech lagers for a more diversified beer tasting.
Our first stop is well known for serving excellent lagers from local breweries.
Our second stop is known for its cozy, rustic atmosphere, hearty traditional dishes, and perfectly poured beer from the Kozel brewery.
Kozel Dark is a great introduction to Czech dark beers because it’s not as heavy as stouts or porters, while the Light version represents the country’s renowned pilsner tradition. You get to choose which variety you’d like with your main course. Both beers are commonly found in Prague pubs, and locals appreciate their approachable flavors and consistency.
Why is a goat the mascot of Kozel? You’ll just have to come on the Prague food and beer tour to find out! You can also google it, but that’s less fun.
Non-alcoholic beers are also offered at each spot.
Not a beer drinker?
Don’t fear! You can opt for a wine or soft drink at the restaurants instead. The final stop includes a coffee for all, to give you some energy for the remainder of your day!
