Kantýna
A butcher-shop-style eatery housed in a grand former bank hall, where you order meat by weight, famous for beef tartare and burgers.
Located in a former bank building at Politických vězňů 5 near Wenceslas Square, Kantýna combines a traditional butcher shop with a self-service restaurant. You select your meat at the counter, where it is priced by weight, and receive a large bone with a number on it to take to your table while you wait. The menu highlights beef tartare, steaks, smoked beef tongue, and burgers, paired with Pilsner Urquell on tap. No reservations are accepted; expect queues during weekday lunch hours. Seating is limited and the environment is loud. The menu is almost entirely meat-based, making it unsuitable for vegetarians. Prices are mid-to-high.
