Healthy food in the heart of Prague

Although traditional Czech cuisine is perceived as one of the heaviest one in Europe, while visiting Prague you can easily find some healthy food as well! After tasting delicious duck with bread-dumplings or just having a short break from goulash in bread, you only need to know where else to go to eat more healthy… Here you’ll find 5 top recommended healthy restaurants in the very center of Prague!

5. O’Papa

Great option for a healthy fast food! The newly opened Czech answer to Pret A Manger fills a much-needed niche for creative take-out options in Prague. Especially recommended are baked breakfast baguette but you’ll also find a range of pre-packaged sandwiches, sushi and salads to go – plus warm meals — everything from soup to pasta—using regionally sourced ingredients. What is a good news: the selected stock is half-price from 8.30 pm.
