Paprika Prague

THE Mediterranean bistro

Eliška from Prague

""Paprika" in Prague has all the zing Mediterranean food should have. Falafel, shakshuka, build-your-own-pita, hummus... Don't miss out on the hummus!"

When the weather gets colder and the sun hardly ever peaks out of the grey blanket of clouds anymore, I get the worst cravings for the flavors reminiscent of the warm months. It's usually cherries, limes and mint and Mediterranean food. I don't know if it's me unconsciously missing eating falafel in a sundress on the random streets at 2 AM to end the summer night with friends, but it happens.

Unfortunately, most of the places serving kebabs and falafel completely miss the -zing- Mediterranean food should have. You get cabbage and hot sauce, which is maybe enough when a little tipsy, but definitely not enough for my sober self.

Paprika popped up in Vinohrady in 2017 and instantly blew up. The bistro gained fans among influencers as well as students. They serve falafel, shakshuka, variations of hummus dishes, build-your-own-pita and vegan shawarma. I highly recommend not to miss out on the hummus, it's absolutely heavenly.

The interior is rather small (there are only ten seating places) so it gets packed very fast, especially during lunchtime. If you can't get a seat, take your food to go and have a picnic in the Folimanka park.

Prague Spotter Eliška

About me I'm a sensitive and curious soul. I like to pay attention to the little things that create the soul of spaces. I find myself in the smell of clean clothes hanging over my head in the wind; the sun shining through the buildings; plants growing in the concrete cracks; the smell of pastries and coffee leading to a hidden café never noticed before. You can find me in theatres, galleries, antique shops or on the train out of the city. Why Prague I’ve been living in the vicinity of Prague since I was born. Today, living and studying directly in the city...
