However, one of the city's most pleasant surprises actually awaits around the dining table.
Turquoise Restaurant, located in the heart of the Czech capital, has become one of the hottest recommendations among travelers in recent years. In a place where most visitors expect to find traditional Czech food or classic European cuisine, a completely different experience awaits: rich Mediterranean cuisine, familiar flavors from home, and an atmosphere that sometimes feels more Middle Eastern than Prague.
For many travelers, it's precisely after a day of wandering the alleys of the Old City, visiting Charles Bridge, or stopping for a coffee in front of the Astronomical Clock that the desire for a tasty meal arises. Turquoise meets this need exactly, without sacrificing the high standards and international atmosphere that characterize Prague.
