MAPPED: Where to find fancy breakfasts and lazy brunches in Prague

No longer just a plate of eggs and coffee (or tired avocado toast), Prague’s brunch scene has evolved into an experience where design, atmosphere, and culinary creativity meet. Think soaring industrial interiors, patisserie counters that double as art displays, or serene hideaways that turn a late morning into a ritual. 

Today, brunch in Prague is a statement about taste, mood, and how you choose to spend your weekend. We asked the experts at Ambiente to share some of their recommendations for brunching in Prague, including cafés and restaurants that offer spaces that feel as considered as the menus themselves. 

When you’re looking for an upscale spot to celebrate a special occasion, Prague is full of options for elevated eats, but Štangl stands out, blending sleek industrial architecture with white-tablecloth finesse. Inside the versatile Forum Karlín complex, diners can find artful takes on Central European fare and delicate pastries that look too pretty to eat. Across the river in Smíchov, Bockem provides a quieter kind of luxury, with minimalist Nordic-inspired dishes served in a space that feels more salon than cafe. Both balance refinement and comfort, making brunch a truly elegant affair. 

Meet Moe, one of the newest additions to Letná’s trendy brunch scene. The name is a riff on a common mispronunciation of “moje” (or “mine”), and its menu has been turning heads for months. Clean lines, soft light, and a calm, almost Scandinavian feel set the scene, with a menu that is seasonal and simple: silky scrambled eggs, excellent coffee, and pastry that vanishes too fast. There’s an ease here, relaxed but intentional, making Moe one to watch.

When you want brunch but don’t feel like leaving the house and have nothing in the fridge, Eska Domů is a good place to turn. This offshoot of the beloved Karlín bakery will deliver its signature sourdoughs, pastries, and ready-to-heat dishes straight to your door. No crowd, no small talk, no judgment, just delicious bread and maybe an apple strudel you weren’t planning on. If you’re up for putting on shoes, Eska Karlín’s well-known dining room is ideal for lingering. 

If you’re drawn to places that feel like they were styled just for your Instagram page (but with substance to match), Alma, Srnky, and Café Letka deliver without ever feeling staged. Alma repurposes an interwar cinema in Nové Město into a soaring cafe-restaurant with an open kitchen, specialty coffee, and pastry that doubles as art . Srnky’s original Vinohrady location is a bright, airy retreat built around local ingredients and farm-fresh brunches, while Café Letka in Holešovice leans into vintage charm—high ceilings, old-school chairs, peeling plaster, plus cakes that taste just like home.

Wood-paneled charm, marble tabletops, and that unmistakable feel of Sunday-best formality set the tone at Café Savoy, where a flaky croissant or indulgent French toast pairs naturally with a glass of sekt. For something sweeter, Myšák’s bright, patisserie-style interior feels like stepping back in time, with poached eggs, pork ham, and caramel cream puffs included. Over in Dejvice, Šodó softens the nostalgia with a cozy interior and soft colors, plating up warm takes on Czech childhood favorites like their namesake buchtičky se šodó (mini buns in vanilla custard).  

Down a quiet side street just off Old Town Square, Pastacaffé feels like it was lifted from a Milanese film set: vintage mirrors, deep red leather banquettes, glossy tiles, and brass accents. Soft, warm lighting sets the perfect mood for buttery pastries, creamy scrambled eggs, savory plates of prosciutto, and espresso that arrives like it belongs in a scene from La Dolce Vita. It’s a little Italian escape right in the center of Prague.  

Don’t sleep on the German-inspired brunch; thanks to newcomer Blumery, you can enjoy fluffy pancakes, savory egg dishes and hearty sides, from their all-day menu that hits that perfect balance. The space itself is special—a former post office that’s been transformed into a quietly charming café, with soft pastels, natural light, and cozy corners that feel like a romantic flower shop. Its sister spot Kolektor in Letná offers a similarly laid-back vibe.

Behind walls near Malostranské náměstí, a 13th-century monastery holds one of Prague’s most refined brunch experiences. At the Augustine Restaurant, the menu stays classic, with poached eggs, buttery pastries, seasonal touches, and diners are met with service that’s polished but never stiff. Vaulted ceilings, peaceful gardens, and subtle design details set a quiet tone, far from the usual hotel bustle. It’s a staycation brunch, no room key required.

The Artisan, located inside the Marriott Hotel near Náměstí Republiky, prepares an epic 46-course brunch on Sundays that covers everything from oysters and roast beef to homemade koláče and mini desserts. Chef David Rejhon blends Czech comfort food with creative twists, and there’s live music to set the mood. It’s the kind of brunch you settle into for hours, plate after plate, no stress, no rush, and no reason to leave early. 

Japanese fusion one month, or maybe Mediterranean or something totally unexpected the next— that’s how ZEM, located inside the Hyatt Andaz near Senovážné náměstí, switches things up with its themed monthly brunches. The setting is polished but relaxed, and the menu is never predictable. It’s perfect for craving something a bit out of the ordinary, but still want it to be done right.
