Walk down almost any street in Prague in the morning and you’ll pass cafés pulling espresso and setting out fresh bread, already filling up with people easing into their day. Some settle into historic interiors, others head straight for a sunny terrace, but the ritual translates across cultures: that first sip of coffee often turning into something more.

From quick pastries and lattes to multi-course brunches with wine, Czechia's weekend breakfast scene now covers every pace and price point, with restaurants and hotels building out brunch menus that mix Czech staples with global dishes. From Levantine spreads and Italian sharing tables to avant-garde creations and sweet bakery delights, here’s a guide to must-try breakfast and brunch spots in, around, and beyond Prague.
