One thing I have noticed since living in Prague is that my fridge is not covered with take away/delivery food fliers and there isn´t a kitchen drawer overflowing with leaflets. In one sense this is a good thing, it has always forced me to either cook something when I am feeling lazy, or it gets me out of the flat. But for those times when you really can´t face the kitchen, and you just can´t be bothered to make it out the front door – here are a selection of different restaurants and services which provide home delivery. If you know of any more, please add them to the end of this article, there may be hope for my fridge door yet!
