Autumn mood, autumn food: 5 fall dishes to eat in Prague right now

With its variety of roasted game dishes, thick sauces, soups, and hearty dumplings, Czech food seems to have been made for wintertime tables. The foodies at Ambiente have shared with us their favorite spots for savoring autumn flavors in Prague.

Did you know you can experience British vibes right in the heart of Prague? Every Sunday at Café Savoy, indulge in a Sunday Roast, a festive meal featuring a choice of succulent pork porchetta, marinated beef, or a pumpkin pie with goat cheese and spinach. Accompanying sides include roasted vegetables and crispy potatoes—perfect for a rainy Sunday spent with loved ones. If this sounds tempting, be sure to reserve your table on the Café Savoy website. The meal is priced at 648 CZK.

For many, the warm scent of chai latte evokes autumn. Myšák, a charming first-republic confectionery, is known for its expertly crafted chai lattes. You’ll also find delightful options at Etapa in Karlín and Osada in Holešovice. Plus, all October long, Klub Ambiente offers a special dirty chai latte—made with Royal Chai, steamed milk and a shot of espresso.

While pumpkin spice latte is a staple in English-speaking countries, it’s gaining traction in the Czech Republic. Baristas are experimenting with homemade pumpkin syrup, giving this iconic drink a local twist. If you want to try pumpkin spice latte outside the usual chains, head to Mezi Srnky, which has locations in Vinohrady, Smíchov, and a new spot on Americká Street. For those near Jiřího z Poděbrad Square, Boulangerie Le Caveau is a must-visit for this seasonal favorite.

Pumpkins reign supreme in autumn—not just in drinks but also in mains. Treat your taste buds to pumpkin-inspired meals at Eska in Karlín. Try their pumpkin spaetzle, served with whey, poached egg, and chives. Other autumnal eats include a spelt risotto with oyster mushrooms, eggs, bell peppers, and fresh cheese.

Roast duck (pečená kachna) is a beloved Czech dish and autumn specialty. Typically seasoned with salt, caraway seeds, and sweet red paprika, the slow-roasted bird is a Czech autumn classic. Make a duck or goose at home with this recipe, or head to Vinohradský Parlament for their confit duck leg, or try the famed Hostinec Na Výtoni, which specializes in duck dishes. Will you go for a pulled duck in a potato pancake or half a grilled duck?
