[2025 Prague Restaurant] Travel Guide for Café Louvre (Updated Mar)

The breakfast was nice and tasty and the cappuccino was excellent. A bit expensive but totally fine. It's worth it! The staff is very nice and friendly. I ordered the avocado toast with salmon and it was delicious and delicate. Our Czech breakfast sets were delightful too. Overall, The dishes were delicious and filling. We also had the cheese tart for dessert, which was light and fluffy. We really enjoyed dining here and would recommend it. #internationaltravel #prague

If you like classic European cafés, then Café Louvre is definitely worth a visit. Founded in 1902, this café is not only a cultural gem of Prague, but has also been frequented by celebrities such as Franz Kafka and Albert Einstein. As you step into Café Louvre, you'll be greeted by high ceilings, vintage chandeliers, soft pink walls, and elegant wooden tables and chairs, all full of the elegant style of 19th-century European cafés. This is not only a good place to have a cup of coffee, the meals are also worth seeing. The signature Czech goulash, with rich carrot cream sauce and slow-cooked beef tenderloin, every bite is full of warm homely feeling. The Czech version of duck confit may not have as crispy skin as the French version, but the meat is tender and juicy, with a hint of smoke and spice, and the more you chew it, the more delicious it becomes. As for the Czech fried pork chops, they were a bit dry and lacked a sense of surprise. Whether you come here to have a cup of coffee, taste Czech cuisine, or simply enjoy the unique atmosphere of this century-old cafe, Café Louvre is definitely worth adding to your Prague trip list! #February2025

#2024mapped Prague, as opposed to being part of Eastern Europe, prices in many restaurants are quite high—and yet unworthy. But not this cafe. 📍Cafe Louvre Národní 22, 110 00 Nové Město, Czechia 🕰️Business Hours: 8am (9am on Sat/Sun) to 11.30pm 💞Reasons to Recommend: Though the name suggests that it’s a tourist favourite—and indeed it is—but it is also many locals’ favourite. And it’s priced very reasonably. I visited it only starting the 3rd day of my visit, and eversince then I did every meal of mine here to try out as many items on the menu as I could. What captured me on the first meal was confit pork shoulder in dark beer gravy on the bed of potato puree. The pork shoulder was tender at some parts and fiberish like chicken breast in some other; but the star here was the sauce, which was to die for. It was packed with so much depth of flavors; I only managed to tell garlic and some fermented grain flavor which probably came from beer, but trust me, it’s divine. Such a perfect pairing with the ultra creamy/smooth mashed potatoes. I requested for more sauce and they gave me one whole Aladdin magic lamp of sauce for free 🫣🤣😍 Then I came again for the pistachio puff and dark chocolate drink, which the cafe was particularly renowned for. Personally, I’d like the pistachio flavor to be more prominent, but the dark chocolate was quite the most intense a chocolate drink it can get, because I might even say it’s a chocolate sauce than drink 😂 During one of my visits, I managed to talk to one of the patrons in the next table, and they enjoyed the foie gras pate (on toasted baguette) a lot. I didn’t like a baguette so eventually I ordered something else with foie gras, which I didn’t enjoy it at all and I believe wasn’t the same type of foie gras. So I’d suggest peeps to stick with the pate instead. One thing I like of this place is it runs pretty late! Till 11.30pm, which allows me to have more flexibility to my daily itinerary. And tho it’s always crowded, the place is huge and turnover is quick, so I always get seated in about 10mins. 💰Average Price per Person: €10
