5 Prague Food Trends that Make Us Insanely Hungry

And in case you missed it, Žižkov is the new donut-and-other-deep-fried-foods epicenter of the entire Czech Republic!

Here are five new Prague food trends to try right now:

The bite-sized doughy pockets sold here are filled with lamb, chicken, turkey, salmon, or, the house speciality, a mix of beef and pork known as the Siberian.

With a name like Croq-n-Roll, how could you not visit this newly opened Žižkov “croquetterie” specializing in a luxurious upgrade of the humble fried potato ball?

Available in countless combinations including cheddar, salmon, or Spanish ham, and with numerous dipping sauces to choose from, an order is a full meal presented in an Etsy-worthy container.

If you prefer your croquettes on the side, however, bacon cheeseburgers are also on the menu with Mexican churros for dessert.

Due to open on April 8, the questionably named Waf-Waf will specialize in a menu of oversized waffles and pancakes, promising fillings and presentations the likes of which Prague has never seen.

If their Instagram feed is any indication, expect a half a candy store—and reckless lashings of Nutella—to appear on your custom-made ceramic plate. Will reportedly also serve waffle-cone wraps.

Enjoy your waffles in the kind of high-design space one has come to expect of a Letná dining establishment.

Named for the Czech word for “skewers,” Špejle opened earlier this year. Its shtick (pun intended) being that the majority of this chic restaurant’s menu items are served on a stick.

Offerings are divided into three categories: cold, hot, and sweet. Everything from homemade pate to mini pizza slices, little dishes of nibbles and carefully crafted desserts are meant to be eaten with a spear.

A lengthy drinks list, heavy on the gin-and-tonic selection, gives the whole place the casual air of a cocktail party.
