Café Louvre

It opened in 1902 on the first floor of a building on Národní avenue and became a meeting place for writers, scientists and artists: Franz Kafka and Max Brod, Karel Čapek and, during his time in Prague, Albert Einstein. The Communists closed it in 1948 and it reopened in 1992.

It keeps its high ceilings, pink walls and period lamps, and has a billiard room with several tables. It serves breakfasts, Czech dishes, cakes and coffee at good prices for such a central spot.
