Nice and cozy restaurant with some good Central European food. We ordered the Escargot, steak tartare and goulash to start. The Escargot was baked in a dish with garlic and oil and served with some toasted bread. The texture was a little soft but the flavour was good! The goulash was served with some bread dumplings and a lot of tender braised beef. It could have used a little more salt but the meat was quite soft and easy to eat. The steak tartare was really good, we ordered a large portion and it came with enough to easily share between 4 people. The toast was incredibly crispy and had a nice subtle nutty flavour to it. The steak itself was soft and paired very nicely with the bread. I would definitely recommend the steak tartare. For our mains, we each ordered a schnitzel. I had the Cordon Bleu schnitzel which came out piping hot with a side of potato salad. The schnitzel was super thin and had a lot of melted cheese oozing out of it when I cut into it. The schnitzel was fried perfectly and came out as a nice even golden brown and also came out pretty light with very little oil sticking to the breading. Overall a pretty good schnitzel, 8/10. For dessert, I had an apple strudel with whipped cream and vanilla ice cream. The strudel came out hot and flaky. The strudel itself was not too sweet and was really good when paired with the light and airy whipped cream. You can't go wrong with ice cream on the side either. I would definitely come back for sure.

Steak á La Tartare

I’ve wanted to try this Edmonton institution for years and I’m so glad we made the time to go. FOOD We ordered: -The fried cheese, which was crispy, hot, melty and absolutely delicious -The herring, which was served with sour cream and was delicious and perfectly tart -The spaghetti with salami flakes, which was perfectly al dente and had a fabulous aglio olio sauce that complimented the salami -The cordon bleu, which is their schnitzel stuffed with cheese and ham - I have never had a more perfectly spiced and cooked schnitzel in my life. It was delectable and honestly one of the tastiest things I’ve eaten in this city SERVICE The service was outstanding. Justin was extremely attentive, and timed his check-ins well so that he wasn’t overwhelming us but we still felt very looked after. The older gentleman (owner?) also welcomed us and checked in regularly which was appreciated. AMBIENCE I never remove stars for lacking ambience but that wouldn’t have been a problem because the place had a lovely old-world European charm. OVERALL IMPRESSIONS The quaint interior, phenomenal service and incredible food make this place a winner. I would recommend this place again in a heartbeat.

Absolutely outstanding restaurant. Every single visit is a great one. Food is outstanding and delicious every time. Best schnitzel and tartare in town! Can’t go wrong with Czech beer either! Service is warm, friendly and fun! The staff and owners treat you like family. The atmosphere is unique and much needed in Edmonton. With classical music and stunning artwork this place is truly one of a kind.

it's been a while since I've last been here. I don't always have a desire to eat. much less a full meal, the atmosphere was warm. very soft music, did not at all challenge or interfere with quiet conversation. while there, recognized so many"older regulars, from when they were younger. I had always held this as my 1st choice, if I could go anywhere for a real meal. a good European meal, memories were brought forward. from my youngest food momories the steak tartar. and strudel and wine

What an exceptional place, I cannot recommend a better place for some delicious schnitzel!! We came on a Monday night and we're pleasantly surprised by the ambiance. Tables and chairs are beautiful, music is tasteful. Our food came so quickly. The servers and staff are incredible and the food is spectacular, what an amazing find in Edmonton, we are from out of town and I urge everyone to come here and eat the most delicious Austrian/Hungarian cuisine. You won't regret it. Order the strudel with ice cream!

Austrian Apple Strudel with Whipped Cream, Bread Dumplings, Schnitzel, Homemade Sauerkraut

The food was so good! The pictures may look simple but don't let that fool you... the flavour is outstanding!! We started with the dill soup, escargot and pickled herring. All were fantastic but the escargot was my personal favorite! We each had a 1/2 order for our entrees mine was the cordon blue schnitzel with potato salad and my fiance had the duck. Both dishes were absolutely perfect and the salads that come with it look basic but the marinated tomatoes were such a pleasant surprise and added such a great flavour. We then shared a strawberry crepe and it was so light and delicate (not too sweet) it was perfect!! Our server was fantastic too she came exactly when needed and gave us space otherwise. It was the perfect night out for us.

I have been a patron here for over 30 years. The food is phenomenal, and the price point is one of the best in the city. Their steak tartare is the best i have had to this day...and I have had it multiple times all over Europe, as well as Canada. There is a reason the writer from the New York times wrote highly of this restaurant. The portions are fair, the food is delicious, the service is good, the establishment is clean. The only thing i wish they would change is some different desserts. The crepes are nice but would like other options to entice me. Thank you for being a staple in my life. I am always proud to recommend BISTRO PRAHA, to anyone i meet.

That's the atmosphere here. You feel like an invited guest, and are treated like family. The server was incredible, and extremely personable. She made us feel so special, and we felt so valued.

This place is truly unique! Amazing Czech restaurant!! Full of history, it’s a little like travelling in time and travelling on another continent. The staff is so welcoming and thoughtful but the food is really the star of the show! A menu like I’ve never seen before! So many speciality, it will take several time to get to taste all I wanted , but at the same time I want to order the same thing! Definitely recommend if you wanna eat well, you wanna try something new or if you are a fan of Czech cuisine! They also have french cuisine on top of that! Best tartare in the city!

Rich home-made flavours w a professional flair: we relaxed happily in the European atmosphere as we savoured our generous and wholesome meals. My goulash had just the right amount of spiciness, my friend's chicken was tender and tasty, our shared strudel was cut in half and served on 2 plates. Such excellent and attentive service made us feel special and valued.

I had a chance to dine in here with my lady a few hours before Depeche Mode concert. The food is phenomenal, home, cozy atmosphere and fairly priced. The duck and schnitzel we ordered are the best smoung other restaurants. Soup of the day is just like babushka made. The portions are fair, the food is delicious, and the service is good. I'm not sure if that was just the table where we sat, but I couldn't squiz my legs under the table and sit normally, obviously that the table support plank is too low.

Me and my partner went here for the first time tonight and it was amazing! I'm very picky with what I eat so I don't usually like going to any new places but we went out on a whim tonight and came here and I have to say it was one of the best decisions that I made in regards to food. The ambiance and atmosphere of this place made me feel like I was transported somewhere peaceful and relaxing, the complete opposite of of downtown Edmonton. The food was absolutely delicious especially the strawberry crepe we ordered. it had the perfect amount of sweetness without being too sweet or overpowering.

Great food. The schnitzel was delicious as was the salad and potatoes. However the service was a bit disappointing considering the restaurant's reputation. My server didn't check on me at all during my meal or offer to refill my water and seemed more interested in chatting with one of their regular customers. Considering that the restaurant was mostly empty and I paid almost $30 for an entree, this was kind of surprising.

I really enjoyed this meal! It was the first time checking it out & was pleasantly surprised by how well executed everything was. The concepts & flavours were very simple but the elegance in the simplicity it was sells this place. The service was great, the vibe was cozy European chic & the food was classic. I almost felt like I was eating on the set of Sound of Music haha. Overall very enjoyable experience. Will definitely be coming back for a lunch to try some of their cold plates next time!

So glad I found this place. I felt like I was transported back to Europe. Ambiance and furnishings very reminiscent of a German restaurant I used to frequent quite often in Frankfurt. I started with the sourcrout soup and was amazed how good it was with those chunky bits of double smoked bacon. The schnitzel and goulash are amazing. Fork tender tips in a rich gravy with a hint of caraway. Top it off with a refreshing Czech beer and you have a perfect meal. Looking forward to going back next time I'm in town. Impeccable friendly service too I might add.

This place is simply perfect, the service is second to none. The staff are very friendly good people. Amazing restaurant, I can’t wait to come back next time I’m in Edmonton.

Hadn't been to Praha since 1986 and was nostalgic to return despite the new location. Our server was beautiful. The food was very good though I would've enjoyed some vegetables with my schnitzel. Get the fried cheese! It felt really homey and comfortable. Parking was easy at Scotia but walking downtown after dark was daunting.

I went to Bistro Praha with a colleague while visiting Edmonton at the end of October 2018. The server was very friendly and helpful and the atmosphere was pretty laid back and casual. We both ordered the schnitzel and I ordered the one stuffed with ham and cheese. It was delicious. It came with a tomato salad which was equally good. For dessert, I ordered one the crepes which were also super tasty. While food of this type can be pretty heavy, I would definitely go back if I were in the mood for Eastern European/Czech food.

Want to feel like you're back in Europe again? Bistro Praha is the place to be. The atmosphere and service is warm and welcoming. It's well worth braving the dangers of downtown. The food is perfect. They have the best Weiner schnitzel in Edmonton, and the sauerkraut was top notch. Oh and can't forget the Czech beer! Bistro Praha is a slice of Prague right here in Edmonton. Get over there!

With a strong recommendation by a friend, we visited Bistro Praha. The place was packed with a long wait time. We decided to do a take-out. The service was friendly and very accommodating. The order was ready in 15 minutes, despite how busy their kitchen was. The food was perfectly prepared and very delicious. We will definitely visit Bistro Praha soon, but certainly with a reservation in advance.

My husband and I enjoyed another delightful evening at Bistro Praha. It is our favourite spot to visit when we are in Edmonton. Don't let the casual exterior fool you, the charming interior is filled with traditional furniture and art. The classical music is wonderful. The food is delicious and the pricing is fair.

Really cozy atmosphere. The best schnitzel I ever tried! Milan (the owner) is very courteous and attentive. His wife Arena is the nicest lady who is the chef too. We really enjoyed the food and time spent there. Definitely we are regulars from now on. Too bad the place is closing down for four weeks due to pandemic restrictions. We just can't wait to back again!

This iconic Edmonton restaurant has even made the New York Times food reviews amongst the numerous others. Come early if you want a seat at lunch or dinner. This intimate place has the best steak tartar in the city, if not the province. Everything else is certainly worth enjoying!

Awesome restaurant with a very different experience compared to others. The environment is comforting and staff are very welcoming. The schnitzel and cordon bleu are fried to a good crisp with minimal grease.

Been here a number of times...great service, atmosphere, and the food is consistently marvelous. Prices are reasonable; I'm typically too full for dessert after an appetizer and main.

Great good, fast service! Great European atmosphere. I had the piaranesse Schnitzel she had the Wiener schnitzel both feet dishes. Also good Czech and other Euro beers.

My favourite place to eat in Edmonton. The cuisine is authentic Czech. Their goulash is particularly excellent. One feels like he's somewhere in Praha.

One of my favourite restaurants in Edmonton. Always enjoy going here.
