U Šumavy Prague

First Republic style restaurant

Thiago from Prague

"Dive into hearty Czech classics and craft beers at U Šumavy — an old-time gem in New Town with plenty of space and rich First Republic charm."

This is a place for those willing to dive in some Czech specialties, aka hearty meals and outstanding beers. Like Kavárna Šlágr, U Šumavy has this old-time atmosphere inspired by the 1^st Republic. Besides being conveniently located in New Town, it has very large rooms and plenty of seats, so you most likely won’t need a reservation to dine in. But I would suggest making it in case you have more than 5 people.

But most importantly, U Šumavy has a great selection of beers which includes not only traditional ones (Plzeň), but also from award-winning craft breweries and their own production (Černokostelecký pivovár). Food wise, you can find a lot of Czech classics, like beef goulash, smažený sýr (fried cheese), schnitzel, and my all-time favourite: potato dumplings filled with smoked meat with sauerkraut on the side. You won’t regret it, it is simply delicious!

Prague Spotter Thiago

Hi, my name is Thiago. I'm originally from Brazil, but I have been calling Prague "home" since 2019. I'm a graphic designer who loves cinema, talking to people, collecting vinyls, walking around, and people watching while having a cup of coffee or a nice beer. Why Prague? I like to say that I didn't choose Prague, but Prague choose me. My girlfriend got a job here, and since I was working as a freelancer we decided to come together for a year... and then 6 years have passed. As Kafka once said, this city has claws that won't let you go, and I'm glad for that =)
