Before you go
How to eat in Prague
Pay in crowns
The currency is the Czech koruna, not the euro. Almost everywhere takes cards; if offered the choice to pay in euros, pick crowns.
The beer keeps coming
In beer halls the waiter marks each glass on a slip on your table and brings another when you finish. Put a beer mat on top if you've had enough.
U Zlatého tygra at opening
Many tables are reserved for regulars. Turn up as soon as it opens in the afternoon to get a seat.
Tipping
People round up or add about 10% by telling the waiter the total when paying, rather than leaving cash on the table.
