An elegant, spacious and airy Art Nouveau

customers as Kafka, Čapek, or Einstein. The café was closed
during
communism for its "bourgeois" character and was
reopened in 1992.
This is a great
place to meet
with friends for coffee or tea, or to have breakfast,
lunch or dinner (vegetarian meals included).
There is a nice size non-smoking room and a separate billiard
room.

 The
famous Grand Café
Slavia across from the National Theatre opened
in 1881 (the same year as the theatre) and
became a meeting place of artists and intellectuals, including
former
president
Václav
Havel who was a frequent customer during his dissident
years. The café was closed in 1991 due to ownership issues
and reopened six years later, having been restored to its
1930s Art Deco look that gives it a lot of personality.
Café
Slavia is a very pleasant place to have coffee and dessert
(try the palačinky) or to warm up with grog
or hot chocolate, which are made to perfection here. If
you find space, get a table by the riverside windows to
enjoy beautiful views of the Prague Castle.
