"As Prague’s oldest pub (opened in 1499), U Fleků might be eternally crowded with tourists, but much like the city’s Cinderella-esque castle, it’s worth a visit for a mug of beer or two. The space boasts multiple dining hall areas, as well as an outdoor courtyard, so visitors can always expect to find a seat somewhere throughout the vast space. Among the hefty portions of famous Czech dishes, go for the country’s national dish, svíčková, which consists of a braised cut of beef served in a rich, dairy- and vegetable-based gravy, usually served with carrots, potatoes, cranberries, and (unsweetened) whipped cream." - Dan Clapson
