Why Travelers Love U Pivrnce
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
One of my favourite meals on this trip! The pork knuckle is amazing, it’s not too crispy like in Germany. It pairs perfectly with sauerkraut and chips/fries. It’s in a flavourful sauce/gravy. Perfect with a cold beer - remember that in Czech/ Prague foam in your beer is good! It keeps your beer fresher for longer as you eat. Garlic soup was also really good as a starter, it was not too garlicky and quite light actually! The restaurant has two levels with different atmosphere but both fun and welcoming. Would definitely come back. It seemed like a great environment for groups and couples. I went yesterday. It’s a modern looking restaueant with a lot of amazing art om the walls!! The food is traditional and full of flavor. They had nice music and the server was very kind. We had an amazing chat about culture and the art inside the restaurant. At the end we had a nice shot of liquer!! I really recomend this place :) And i will definitely come back! Amazing traditional Czech food with a modern twist. Reasonable prices and the interior is really cool with lots of modern art. Every dish we had was delicious and the staff were friendly.

The food is average as a portion and as a taste! Expensive as well. The duck was so small with no more than a 100gr of meat! They should use breast or a bigger leg choice! The beef tartar was just as ok! Service was excellent though! Overall… not good!

Nice restaurant with a great vibe, interesting decorations, great service, and good food located by Old Town Square. Ordering was easy as they have menus in several languages, our food was served promptly. We ordered the roast duck and the potato dumplings stuffed with smoked pork. The food was cooked perfectly and the portions were large. The servers were great and attentive to all our needs. The food at this restaurant was extremely delicious and affordable. Combined with the aesthetics and the great service, I highly recommend that you visit.
