ŽIŽKOV

U Sadu

CZECH $$

Škroupovo náměstí 5

222 727 072; www.usadu.cz

This may be one of Žižkov’s best-known restaurants. Choose between the patio seating or the dining room, where an entire antique shop dangles from the ceiling. But the coolest part of the restaurant is U Sadu’s smoky cellar: behind the gambling machines, a spiral staircase leads to a foosball table and several small rooms filled with young people. Some of the most popular dishes are fried ribs with mustard and horseradish (155Kč) or roasted pork knee (195Kč).

A: Jiřího z Poděbrad. From the Metro, cross diagonally through the park (pass in front of the church) and then walk north on Laubova. U Sadu is at the northern side of the square with the roundabout. Snacks 55-95Kč. Meat entrees 125-195Kč. Beer 28-33Kč. Open M-W 9am-2am, Th-Sa 9am-4am, Su 9am-2am. Kitchen open until 2am.

U Vystrelenýho Voka

PUB $

U Božích bojovníků 3

222 540 465; www.uvoka.cz

The title of this place means “at the shot-out eye” and over the last 19 years it has become something of a cult establishment. The menu is the opposite of fussy—the only two categories you can choose from are “cold food” and “warm food.” Try the inexpensive Danube sausage (35Kč), or, if you want to splurge, the fried cheese (80Kč). The cascading terraces above the pub actually belong to a different establishment, Kavárna U Voka ( Beer 26-33Kč Open M-F 3-10pm, Sa-Su 2-10pm), which is an equally great place to grab a drink. Oh, and if you ask the staff what the name means, you’ll get a 30min. lecture on the history of Žižkov. Short answer: it refers to the one-eyed Jan Žižka, the famous Hussite general.

Tram 5, 9, or 26: Husinecká. Walk uphill on Seifertova, then turn left on Blahníkova and continue as it turns into Jeronýmova. When you reach Husitská, take a right and then the 1st left into a little alley marked U Božích bojovníků. Cold food 30-44Kč. Hot food 35-89Kč. Open daily 4:30pm-1am.

Amores Perros

MEXICAN $$

Kubelíkova 33

222 733 980; www.amoresperros.cz

The chefs may be Czech and the interior overcompensates (think sombreros and cactuses), but Amores Perros is still known as one of the better Mexican places in Prague (and the only one in Žižkov). Sizzling enchiladas (109Kč) smothered in heart-stopping sauce are the way to go. Come here for lunch, as the menu deals (79Kč) are filling and superb.

Tram 5, 9, or 26: Olšanské náměstí. From the stop, walk 2 blocks west on Kubelíkova. Salads 84-114Kč. Burritos 164-199Kč. Open M-Th 11am-midnight, F 11am-1am, Sa 11am-midnight, Su 12:30pm-midnight.

U Mariánskeho Obrazu

CZECH $$

Kubelíkova 26

222 722 007; www.umarianskehoobrazu.cz

This down-to-earth Czech restaurant serves Pilsner from the tank and offers steaks from young cows, along with other, more traditional fare. If you haven’t yet, try the Slovak specialty bryndzové halušky (115Kč)—the rough translation is sheep’s cheese dumplings with bacon, but there’s no precise translation for the goodness they entail.

A: Jiřího z Poděbrad. From the Metro, cross diagonally through the park and then take Milešovská; Kubelíkova is on the other side of the Žižkov tower park. Meals 115-155Kč. Steaks 210-360Kč.
