Restaurant Švejk
Restaurace U Švejka
A traditional Czech restaurant at the end of the square, right by the castle, with a terrace facing the colorful arcaded square and reasonable prices.
Located at the end of Zachariáš of Hradec Square, next to the castle walls. The interior is in First Republic style, and the terrace looks directly onto the UNESCO World Heritage square. The menu offers classic Czech dishes: creamy beef sirloin with bread dumplings and cranberries, garlic soup, fried pork cutlet and goulash, as well as roast duck and wild boar neck with rosehip sauce, served with draft Pilsner. It has a Google rating of about 4.0 from over a thousand reviews, but TripAdvisor reviews are polarized, with some diners saying the food was lukewarm and the staff spoke little English. Main courses cost about 200–250 CZK, cards are accepted, and in summer the terrace fills up, so arrive early.
