Kmotra H-5, Praha 1, V Jirchářích 12, MNárodní
třída, tel. (+420) 224 93 41 00, www.kmotra.cz. The
Godmother gathers extensive broods around her ankles
as she hands down the old family recipe for making great
pizzas from a wood-burning oven. Expect to jostle for a
place with the other waifs and strays in need of the loving
care that is meted out here. QOpen 11:00 - 24:00. Also
at Praha 5, Jindřicha Plachty 27. Open 11:00-24:00. (100 -
200Kč). PAS
Pizza Nuova Praha 1, Revoluční 1, MNám. Republiky,
tel. (+420) 221 80 33 08, www.ambi.cz. The
Ambiente group turn their talented hands to this eat all
you can antipasti and/or pizza & pasta restaurant. Well
planned location adjacent to the massive shopping centre,
the Palladium, set to open late 2007. A huge restaurant
with trestle type seating, Ambiente's trademark flair and
an extensive Italian and Czech wine list. QOpen 11:30 -
23:30. APT
Rugantino E-2, Praha 1, Dušní 4, MStaroměstská, tel.
(+420) 222 31 81 72, www.rugantino.cz. Great pizzas
and quick service make this a popular eatery with the lunchtime
office crowd. Classic Italian would be preferable to the
modern décor, but that's just our opinion. On weekends the
place is much more laid-back. QOpen 11:00 - 23:00, Sun
12:00 - 23:00. (100 - 250Kč). PAUG
Seafood
Reykjavík D-3, Praha 1, Karlova 20, MStaroměstská,
tel. (+420) 222 22 12 18, www.reykjavik.cz. A plush, dark
wooden interior sets the scene for you to experience some
of the best seafood available in Prague. We can recommend
the 'fruit of the sea' soup or the tenderloin of tuna. QOpen
11:00 - 24:00. (250 - 600Kč). ABEPT
Rybí trh E-2, Praha 1, Týnský dvůr 5, MStaroměstská,
tel. (+420) 224 89 54 47, www.rybitrh.cz. Without a
doubt, this restaurant is a fish-lover's paradise. With a choice
from live or freshly imported fish, one can swim through this
menu with delight knowing whatever is chosen will truly
satisfy. Chef Pavel Mares works his magic on the Caribbean
Lobster, fresh from the aquarium in any style. St. Jacob's
scallops is a speciality only to be savoured, and the imperial
mussels truly deserve their name. QOpen 11:00 - 24:00.
(190 - 890Kč). AG
Thai
Modrý zub F-4, Praha 1, Jindřišská 5, MMůstek, tel.
(+420) 222 21 26 22, www.modryzub.com. The Blue
Tooth looks like an Ikea café until you notice the bowls of spicy
noodles and curry being served by cheerful waitresses and
devoured by happy punters. This noodle bar takes Thai fast
food to a higher level with delicious curries, made to order
glass, rice and yellow noodle dishes, sushi, maki, soups and
salads. Excellent service, lovely spot, NYC carton take out
boxes. Oh, and hot means hot. Blue is a theme: sister venues
are similarly cool Ultramarin and Blue Light. Q Open 09:00
- 23:00. Thu, Fri & Sat 09:00 - 24:00. (60 - 180Kč). TS
NOI A4, Praha 1, Újezd 19, MMalostranská, tel. (+420)
257 31 14 11, info@noirestaurant.cz, www.noirestaurant.cz.
A serene Thai restaurant, and thank goodness for
that. Quality Thai food is often hard to find here, but NOI
brings authentic Thai chefs to prepare its tom yam koong,
khao pad koong and khao pad kai. Lovely staff and a Zen
interior complete the experience. QOpen 9am - midnight.

NEW
SaSaZu K-1, Praha 7, Bubenské nábřeží 306, MVltavská,
tel. 284 09 74 44, info@sasazu.com, www.
sasazu.com. Hip and stylish new Thai/Asian restaurant in
the always emerging Holešovice district. The wow factor of
the décor hasn't yet transferred to the menu or service; which
right now we'll generously put down to growing pains. Current
notables include the Thai papaya salad; Ga curry, SaSa crispy
roll and the red beef curry. Maybe skip dinner and just hit the
other half of the reconstructed warehouse building; which is
a dance club. QOpen 11:00 - 03:00. 110-295 Kč. AEK
NEW
Sawadi Praha 10, Kodaňská, MNám Míru, tel. 241 74
28 88, sawadi@seznam.cz. No one is going to rave about the
Thai food in Prague; however Sawadi is a tasty addition. Here
you'll get some spicy flavor lacking at many other Thai restaurants;
anything chili-based is worth ordering if you need some
heating up. Tom Yam Gung soup; Sen Lek pad Thai and the
“fire pot” entrees are all recommended. Look carefully for the
entrance and don't expect a lush dining room. But do enjoy what
will be a delicious meal. QOpen 11:00 - 23:00. 140-230 Kč.
Siam Orchid I-3, Praha 1, Na Poříčí 21, MNám. Republiky,
tel. (+420) 222 31 94 10, www.siamorchid.cz. Evocative
aromas entice to this hidden first floor restaurant. While the
authenticity of the place is not added to by the décor, the Thai
massage next door (600Kč/hr), Singha beer and mention of
farangs on the menu point to a real Thai dining experience. And
the food doesn’t disappoint. A true and delicious slice of Siam in a
very Czech courtyard. QOpen 10:00 - 22:00. (120 - 200Kč). B
Vegetarian
Beas F-2, Praha 1, Týnská 19, MStaroměstská, tel.
(+420) 608 03 57 27, www.beas-dhaba.cz. Original Indian
metal trays hold your chosen veggie menu - small or large curry
meal, noodles, parantha menu, the massive thali and more.
Desserts and lassi are also available and tables have jugs
of free water to quench the small fires the somewhat spicy
dishes produce. Excellent and deservedly popular. QOpen
11:00 - 20:00, Sun 11:00 - 18:00. (70 - 130Kč). PGBS
Country Life E-3, Praha 1, Melantrichova 15, MMůstek,
tel. (+420) 224 21 33 66, www.countrylife.cz. From humble
beginnings as a take-away bar, this place is packed at lunchtimes
with long queues at the caféteria-style counter. That's because
even non-vegetarians are impressed by the salads, pizza and
soups. QOpen 09:00 - 20:30, Fri 09:00 - 16:00, Sun 11:00 - 20:30.
Closed Sat. Also at H-4, Jungmannova 1. (75 - 150Kč). GPTU
Maitrea E-2, Praha 1, Týnská 6, MStaroměstská, tel.
(+420) 221 71 16 31, info@maitrea-restaurant.cz, www.
maitrea-restaurant.cz. Maitrea is the sister vegetarian restaurant
to the widely popular Lehka Hlava. Located in Old Town, they
currently have a rather small menu, but an excellent lunch special
consisting of a rotating soup, main and water for 105 Kč. Their
décor is a bit tamer than their wilder sister, but the same fresh
quality and inventiveness is here. The couscous with broccoli
and fennel is fabulous, as is the baked vegetables with pesto.
QOpen 11:30 - 23:30, Sat, Sun 12:00 - 23:30. 100-140 Kč.
Veg Food Praha 2, Londýnská 35, MIP Pavlova, tel.
(+420) 222 51 50 06/(+420) 721 25 52 53, info@
vegfood.cz, www.vegfood.cz. A new and welcome nonmeat
addition to the pork-heavy dining scene. Veg Food is
fairly Asian, with many soy and tofu meat alternatives. The
flavors are mild, but you will taste them; vegetables are fresh
and the staff is welcoming. Seek it out, even carnivores will
be pleased. QOpen 10:30 - 21:00, Sat, Sun 11:30 - 21:30.
