Bistro Praha

“their Pilsner Urquell was served in proper Czech glassware at the right temperature, and the goulash had that deep rich flavor u only get from hours and hours of slow braising”

“the bread dumplings were dense and gummy - clearly made from a mix instead of fresh which is pretty disappointing for such a traditional dish”

“the pork knuckle had that perfect contrast - crackling crispy skin that shattered soon as u bite into it, then tender meat falling apart underneath wiht those caramelized edges”

“actually teh potato salad was served ice cold which completely killed all the flavors and made the potatoes taste chalky and gross big time”

“def this place is legit great for families - tehy actually welcomed my three kids wiht genuine smiles and teh schnitzel portions were huge so we could share. the Czech atmosphere felt real without being stuffy and the kids loved watching them make bread dumplings in the open kitchen yikes”

“the kids juice came in a regular glass instead of plastic which stressed me out the whole meal with my clumsy six year old tbh”

“real talk perfect FOR late dinner - they serve full menu until 930 and the lighting is so cozy in downtown Edmonton especially on weeknights when it's not packed”

“ngl teh coffee was sitting in teh pot for hours apparently - bitter and burnt tasting which isn't what u want after a good meal meh”

“thieeer Pilsner Urquell on tap was perfectly poured with that proper Czech foam head and paired so well with the traditional pork schnitzel. the beer stayed cold and crisp thruout and the schnitzel was HUGE like easily enough to share if youre not super hungry”

“no burger on the menu which sucks because i was hoping for like a Czech-style burger or at least some familiar pub stuff alongside all the traditional dishes would reccomend”

“sitting at the bar solo was actually perfect - the bartender knew his Czech beers and told me stories about the restaurant history the whole time. the goulash was hearty and authentic which is exactly what you want on a cold edmonton evening by yourself”

“the bar stools are mad uncomfortable for a longer meal - no back support and my shoulders were killing me by the time i finished no joke”

“so it's not like authentic Czech cuisine or whatever but their schnitzel technique is surprisingly solid - properly pounded thin, evenly breaded, fried to a golden crisp without being greasy”

“real talk teh sauerkraut literally tasted like it came straight from a jar wiht zero additional seasoning - super one-dimensional adn just sour 10/10”
