- In this video, we taste test Traditional Czech food & explore the famous Easter Markets in the Old Town of Prague. We are bit a surprised by the food...is that a good thing or not?? You'll have to watch to find out ;).
Prague is the capital city of the Czech Republic. It's known for its Old Town Square, the heart of its historic core, with colorful baroque buildings, Gothic churches and the medieval Astronomical Clock. It's one of our favorite European cities and an absolute must-see destination!

Lots of love,
Tanner, Risa, Willa + Noa :)
Finally some tourist vloggers who are grateful for the work of Honest Guide! :) I often watch videos of foreigners visiting Prague. I like to watch their reactions to our Czech food, which I love. And finally I see someone who knows that trdelník is a tourist trap and instead enjoys classic Czech cuisine. Have a nice stay here!
Their work is great 👏 Thanks for the kind comment! We had to learn that the trdelnik wasn’t a tourist trap because we didn’t know it the first time! The signs in Prague are confusing because it leads everyone to believe they’re authentic! 🤦♀️
Trdelnik stuffed is a tourist trap... but delightful when served properly in Hungary.
I tak jednou za čas přijde chuť si dát trdelník 😂
@@ondrejlukas326 A nebo prdelník xD
Sorry to burst your bubble, but that Větrník (wind wheel?)dessert does not have maple glaze. It's caramel. I wouldn't go as far as saying that we never put maple glaze on anything, because you will find puff pastry items with pecan and maple filling in supermarkets, but it's is extremely rare. But we generally don't use maple syrup. It started to appear in supermarkets only about 20-25 years ago. And honestly I think Czechs only buy it when they look up an recipe of North American origin and need it for that. Then they buy it and use it once or twice and then it sits in the pantry for years until someone throws it out, because it expired years ago. We use it extremely rarely and don't really know what to use it for.
Prague is one of the greatest places on earth. So beautiful, so much history, so yummy! Greetings from 🇩🇪❤
After Italian food, I would probably count the Czech/Bohemian cuisine directly on the same level as our German, so incredibly delicious, but also very substantial! I Love it.
German good is not so good. They are not famous for their food at all.
Love Czech food. I live in central Texas close to Praha, Texas. So heavy Czech influence! Grew up eating "TexCzech" food. The fruit filled pastry was a kolache and oh are they one of my favorites! I'm coming to Germany late June on mission for a baseball camp and am so looking forward to the German culture.
TexCzech 🤣🤣🤣🤣
kidding, its real place!? awesome, kolače are real deal👊🙋❤️🇨🇿
What is fascinating to me is that the Texas czechs are calling the 'donut'ish pastry kolache, koláč is typically flat pastry with visible filling in the middle like a little plate of pastry. This would be more of a Buchta, round ish pastry with filling inside. I guess the generations away changed some meanings.
@@kcim123 the really crazy thing is that the Asian community (along with city folks) are calling pigs in the blankets kolaches 😩.... I know the Czech name just can't spell it 😂. The only foreign language offered when I was in high school was Czech! Still remember a few key phrases.
@@kcim123 What is fascinating to me is how they don't recognize any food. When they see something unfamiliar, they think it's one of the few dishes they know, but made differently. I've experienced that many times. It doesn't even occur to them that it's something else and then they ask, "why aren't the kolache my grandmother used to make round" hell, because they're not kolache, but other pastries that look different, taste different and have a different name. Recently, a RUclipsr from the USA made a video about the difference between pizza in the USA and in Prague. The Prague pizza was a Hungarian langos. 🙄🙄🙄
The 'sirloin' with cream sause aka Svíčková (svíčková is literally the name for the Tenderloin meat cut) is literally the most traditional czech food in my opinion. Made with root vegetables, cream, tenderloin beef (or other beef and sometimes even rabbit meat) and with the cranberry and whipped cream topping. Perfect.
I must have in been in Prague about the same time a you guys! I went to the Cafe Imperial, and had the Svičková. The chef is called Zdenek Pohlreich, and he’s a sort of Czech Gordon Ramsey! Anyway the food was awesome, and not too expensive. Savoy Cake at Cafe Savoy was wonderful. The Tafelspitz at the Slavia Cafe was amazing, and no one should leave Prague without trying the Grand Orient Cafe where I had virus cake. The only bad thing about Prague is that there are sooooo many tourists, but I guess that’s what happens when a place is so good. Btw, congrats on the new arrival, and glad that you’re back on the move!
Maybe we were there the same time?! 😊 Your experience sounds great and tasty 😋 We will have to try the virus cake next time! Mmm!
super you show to people the very expensive tourst traps craps :D
Lovely to see you all. Back on the Road with baby Noa 😊 Risa thats was great your sister was over for a visit 😊
Yes Tanner we need a bit more warmer temperatures ,fed up with the cold , Rainy days now 🤔.
Safe travels Have a Good weekend 🥰
The Chimney Cakes are a traditional Hungarian food and are typically served without anything stuffed inside and with a simple cinnamon and sugar coating. I think it tastes best that way, too. Stuffing them is touristy.
When you are talking about prizing you aught to be aware of the fact that the you were smack down in the middle of the most tourist oriented (and thereby the most expensive) part of Prague and in all of the Czech Republic.
A few streets over you would probably get the same food for a fraction of that prize.
The cafe in front of the clock tower is probably the most expensive place in town and have 3 times the prizes of a restaurant two blocks away from the square.
Oh we know we were right in the middle of the tourist hot spots. We felt like the restaurants prices weren’t too high, but the Easter markets definitely were like we mentioned. Thanks for sharing :) always good knowledge for those first traveling to Prague!
@@OurStorytoTell We'll go to Prague again this summer for our tenth time or so (I am Swedish). My wife is from the Czech Republic and I am a great lover of Czech (and German) Beer.
We mostly keep away from the tourist traps and always get great food, great beer and much interesting things to see and experience and all of this at a very reasonable prize. The last year the prizes have gone up quite a bit tough, so I am not sure if we will find it as affordable this time. But at least we know that we will have a good time.
Hi. I just came upon your channel today. I must say that you seem like a really nice young family. I'm glad to see that you're enjoying your stay in Germany. Also, your little gal is adorable! Congrats on the new addition to the family, little Noa! 👶 That's the cool thing about Europe, that all the countries are so close together that you can visit them very easily. We don't have that opportunity in North America, unfortunately. All the best from your newest Canadian subscriber! 🇨🇦 🇺🇸 🇩🇪
Hello to you 👋 We love Canada and need to visit more of your beautiful country one day!!
Thanks for the kind words & support! We are happy to have you along for the adventure!
@Our Story to Tell Next time your back in the States, make a sidetrip across the border for a while.
Je to Česká republika a Praha.
Nice to see a new travel vlog from you, Prague is really cool. I will be there in three weeks for a couple of days. I'm happy that I can easily use the train from Vienna to Prague. Nice to see it from your side.
That will be such a blast! Enjoy! Public transportation in Europe-doesn’t get better! 😊
It's always astonishing to me how you guys enjoy your travels no matter how cold or clowdy/rainy the weather is. Your sister looks a lot like your mother.
Aww thank you! Weather can’t stop us… most times 😂 ☺️
1st
"We gonna start with some traditional Czech food." T. reading: "French fries."😂
Hahah 😂 French fries are on almost every menu!
I had a good laugh too (perfect video cut here)
the bell's saying ding bit = awwww
I think easter is usually the best time to visit as the markets are not as crowded as during Christmas and New Year. 660th LIKE
Thanks so much for watching and liking it! 🫶 The appreciate means a lot! We haven’t been during Christmas or New Year, but we believe it!
baby is so sweet, think it is real good that you take her along to see everything😊
Thank you!
Your video was really cool, simple, and interesting. I loved the warm feeling of all of you as a family together ❤. Love from Egypt 💚
Hey thanks! So cool you live in Egypt! What part?
filming in Egypt is a hassle due to bureaucrasy......saw a food show from Egypt here on yt btw@@OurStorytoTell
nice to see you back on the road. safe travels :)
You all look great! Good to see you out and about! Beautiful weather here in Tennessee!
That’s great to hear you have good temperatures in Tennessee! It’s raining today for us here in Germany, but yesterday was a beautiful day in the mid 60s! 😊
Very nice video again 😀 Have a great sunday and if she is still here, enjoy the time with your sister🤗
Thank you for watching! 😊
Glad you're doing well. Well there is no wrong weather just wrong clothing after all. They do have amazing bread and chances are the smokey tasting chicken skin is Paprika rub in some way, it's such an easy flavor trick once you know it. My mom even uses it to replace onions, we used it for curry ketchup when we didn't have onions and put some in our breading, we barely eat anything savory without Paprika in some form. There's a non spicy version too. Savory cream is amazing, so are those Knödel. And I think I got my first celtic cross at a market in that place, maybe even the booth.
Happy and glad to see you are OK, You guys are the greatest, love to watch your videos. All the best from Split, Croatia..❤❤❤
We really appreciate your support all the way from Split 💗 Thank you!
All of that food looked so delicious! A bit jealous of the yumminess lol Glad to see you back at it and with little Noa already on her first trip and internationally at that!
Thanks for watching! It really was delicious, but maybe you can make a visit to Prague someday? :)
It’s awesome seeing you guys overjoyed from the food that’s completely common here ❤ even the goods from the bakery I get almost daily for breakfast 😅 glad you enjoyed it!
Nooo that is so cool it’s a daily thing for you! Love that! Thanks for watching :)
@@OurStorytoTell this video made me appreciate the normal things we experience here, so thank you for that! ❤️😁
Ohh if only "sigh 😔" I had the money to travel to Europe, Eastern Europe, the Mediterranean Countries, Asian Countries, etc. etc. I would do so in a heartbeat 💓 Thank you for your videos 😊❤
We hope someday you can experience some of your dreams!! 💛 Thanks for watching and the support!
Yep - you look so young. Maybe...
Back on the road again. Great to see you and now you are 4. Risa, your sister has to be more adventures in food tasting and should value the different taste and not comparing with the may be minor experience she already has compared to you guys due to your travel times. Tanner, well done. I also miss the daily dosis of vitamin D to catch. Dont worry, the time is coming. Enjoy the flowers, the tiny bushes with new blossoms and new fresh green in your garden and especially in the woods. Its so refreshing after this long grey times. Hope you all are well and lovely greetings to you
Beautiful sharing ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for watching!! :)
Around 5:00, Tanner: "It smells great."
Noa: protesting 😂
Great editing! Your little one already taking over as international food critic...
Willa also made me smile: So much to order, yet all she wishes for is a slice of bread. There must be a little German hiding inside of her...😊
Great to see you guys back on the road. 🫶
Thanks so much! It feels great to be back at it! And yes we couldn’t help but laugh about Willa and the bread ourselves! 😂😊
@@OurStorytoTell willa actually reminds me a lot of myself at that age in pictures and I was a big bread girl too lol. I would get hair stuck in my throat and ask for a slice of bread bc it helped get it gone 🤣
I'm living in Prague. Unfortunately I didnt see you. Nice video. 😊
That would have been fun! Thanks for watching! 😊
I just cannt help but liking you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Some of this food is traditional winter food, prepared differently in different regions.
A market sells them all at once, of course.
That makes sense. We will have to try some of the summer foods :)
Are you from the Czech Republic?
Thanks for sharing, It is beautiful city, Love from Thailand.
Oh my! It is so fun for us to hear you’re in Thailand! Did you grow up there? We absolutely love Thailand… but who doesn’t ☺️😉
@@OurStorytoTell ผมเกิดและโตที่ไทยครับ ถ้าคุณมีโอกาศมาเที่ยวไทยลองแวะชิมอาหารหลายๆอย่างในไทยบ้างนะครับ ยินดีต้อนรับครับ 😊🙏
It's great to see you back on the road and trying some delicious local foods. I was surprised at just how much older Noa already looks as she peered up from her cosy carrier. She is in for a treat, as Willa has been, to try new tastes as soon as she is old enough. So strange that Willa at one point chose a slice of dry bread to eat! At the market I noticed that English was evident on a lot of menus and placards, but how was it conversing with the stallholders to find out what the particular speciality was? Did they speak English? German? I'm looking forward to your next video!
Thanks so much!! Noa is changing soo much it’s crazy! And most spoke a little English.
I need to go back
Willa makes this Video german 👍
I recognized the Song - i know it as a christmas song ("in der weihnachtsbäckerei")
I did not understand everything - but keep going . its os cute
A little lesson in Italian: Gnocchi - pronounced like Nyok-ki.
The sort of funny german pronounciation is Gnotschi, which drives Italians mad. 😂
Super interesting to hear!! 😂
i'm almost certain those "cranberries" are Preiselbeeren or lingonberries in english
100% Yes!
Oh thanks for sharing so we know!
If they were on Golatschen another possibility is sour (morello) cherries or plums which are popular in Bohemian cuisine (böhmische Zwetschgenknödel!).
If U want to have pork knuckle in Prague then go to Pork's in Mostecká street - there is no better pork knuckle in WHOLE THE WORLD...! It is crunchy, juicy and well done (one portion for two people is quite enough) - order extra cabbage, and potato chips with chilly mayo as appetiser before meal. And of course Pilsner Urquell (or Kozel if U like sweeter beer). But frankly anything else U have there is extremely good (e.g. pork ribs).
The only drawback is that it is most touristy street thus better make a reservation otherwise U shall be queing for at least 30 mins (in busy hours)... ;)
MMMM this sounds amazing!! Thank you for the suggestion! Do you live in Czechia?
@@OurStorytoTell Aye. In Prague. :) Let me know (in comments below) if U want some hints about Prague or Czech Rep. :D
Besides U can C on YT video review "Best Prague Pork Dishes - Best Koleno (Pork Knee Knuckle) in Prague, Czechia!" by "Ross and Bek" to know what U go into. But then U risk that U shall quit eating pork knuckle then because U can find no better (for same reason friend of my stopped drinking Guiness after visit of Dublin...). ;)
Of course, the food in Europe is quite similar this is because peoples within Europe have migrated and spread their food, ergo you can find the same dishes just under a different name. Some dishes are then also adapted to the respective population that has assimilated them.
I have to address something... first trip for Noah to Czechia and you DIDN'T BUY HIM a Krtecek plush toy!!! Traditional czech cartoon character who went into SPACE!!! :) So... I am sorry guys but you will have to visit us for the third time :)
Rissas sister didn't seem to be a big fan of the beef dishes in the first restaurant. That sceptical look :) My kids know these böhmische Knödel as bread dumplings as they look like a slice of bread (and its also a yeast dough).
Willa prefers a slice of bread. She is officially german now
hahah true!!
When I think of Prague, I immediately think of bohemian cuisine and fairy tale films. I'm a big fan of bohemian cuisine but I think some dishes need to be eaten more often to be loved, such as Bryndzove Halushky (love it). The fairy tale films are the best anyway, like "3 Haselnüsse für Aschenbrödel" or "Frau Holle".
Bryndzove j
halusky is not Czech food but Slovak. I used to live in Czech Republic for 23 years but never saw it there.
@@amikino100 You can buy Bryndza in czech supermarkets in germany.
@@amikino100 you're correct that it's Slovak, not Bohemian. However, you can get it often in many Czech restaurants and of course bryndza (the cheese) is readily available in most supermarket so I find it odd that you haven't encountered the dish anywhere.
The word is Czech, not bohemian.
Only thing missing is the Groundhog.
Should have watched Honest Guides videos more closely, they warn about the tourist scams and the trick with a ham priced by weight was covered there as well I think. 😊
I think that Prague is beautiful. Luckily, so did Hitler. This meant that the German Army was not allowed to bomb it. Even the Jewish Quarter was left alone, as a "Living Museum" (a courtesy unfortunately not extended to the Jews themselves). However, all of Prague's magnificent architecture was left standing. And so, it remains as it was built, back in the Late Middle Ages thru the late 19th Century.
Thanks for sharing some of the history about it!! No wonder Prague is so amazing!
Fun fact: It was 70°C in Prague xD
Jen anglosan si objedna česnečku a je překvapen česnekem.
Hello
I would like to go to the markets too but I didn't know about them
Also if I was there I might see you
I'm 🇨🇿 and it's nice to hear that Czech food is good but very expensive
That would have been fun if we would have seen each other! So cool you live in the Czech Republic!
@@OurStorytoTell the best think is that I am a boy and I'm (almost) adult :)
I love Prague, it's such a beautiful town. But to be honest, I was a bit dissatisfied with the food. Though, good cooked, it was mostly rather bland. I loved the beer a lot though
Czech food is fun to try, but it’s definitely not our favorite food here in Europe. So we can understand that. Prague is amazing though!
Those gnocchi are halušky. This is the national dish of Slovakia, they are made in different ways, but they are not really gnocchi
Thanks for sharing!
I am sure that the cream is sour cream as it is popular with certain foods
Interesting maybe so! The cream didn’t have a strong flavor.
The cream served with svíčková is normal whipped cream. The same you add to some coffes.
@@vitezslavnovak2077 interesting to see that it is whipped cream ,thanks as I was expecting it to be sour cream .
Im Czechian say me Hi ❤️🇨🇿
Hi!! Thanks for watching our video! 😊
Where did you stayed? Address
I like american chocolate cookies.🍪👍 🙋♀️🇨🇿
We do too 😂😋
...and New York Cheese Cake !
Czech food is great especially bohemian one like Svitchkova, Kartoffelgulasch, or Zwetschgendatschi (Pflaumenkuchen)
Oh yummmm next time we will try more :)
The ONLY traditional Trdelnik is from Skalica, Slovakia. Officially registerred as European protected origin of food. But yes, Czech food is great, just great, rich, very satisfying and pure - like if cooked at home. Everyone should try it.
Thanks for sharing about the Trdelnik! Fun to learn about :)
Prague is Europe. Already the common history with Austria. Common history with Slovakia.
The Czechs drink more beer than the Germans because they invented the Pilsener beer.
Pilz beer is very popular in Germany.
Pilsner beer was invented by a Bavarian brewer living in Pilsen at the time. Pils is written with s not z. Btw. 150 years ago 60% of the inhabitants of Praque spoke German as their mother tongue, 40% Czech. And it was considered the "best standard German" at the time. Today they say Hannover has the best German. ( I persoally doubt it . )
Yes, but many of those German speaking Pragers were Jews. Prague used to be the town of 3 cultures.
@@vitezslavnovak2077 Yes Austrians, Jews and it's my guess many upper class bilingual Czechs too. Btw. despite not so good feelings of Czechs against Germans both nations have much in common. I knew two Czechs in Johannesburg, South Africa, 40 years ago, who always visited a German restaurant there, because German, Austrian and Czech food and beer was very similar.
@@joachimniebling5034 Agree. Especially Central Europe (Germany and the lands of former Austrian-Hungarian empire) is like an appartement house, but with only one common kitchen and sometimes even one common bedroom 🙂.
Was so cold????
Yes it was!
As a Czech person myself, I find it funny how most of what's perceived as traditional Czech food doesn't even originate from Czechia / Bohemia. :D
no roast goose or roast duck? 😢
A shame huh!! NEXT TIME :)
,,Trdelnik,, is Screamers for turist in Praha...Not traditional Czech deset... 🙈
Yes we know! That’s what we talked about in the video 😊
This Chicken looked a bit burnt....
It was the seasoning and didn’t have a burnt taste at all. Actually it was our favorite one 😋😊
Sorry but it wasnt traditional czech food😂 Thats what they say to tourists😂 If you want actual food you have to go anywhere else than Prague squares....Also you got scamed 3:29. Its like double or maybe triple of usual prices.
You did major mistakes.
1. Do not come by car!
2. You got scammed by the ham... its way to overpriced and it is not really traditional.
3. Trdelnik is hungarian food. Not czech
Driving by car is the most practical way for us with a newborn baby and toddler. We understand how it wouldn’t be for another season of life.
my mother was conned in France , they sold her salami and claimed it was pepperoni , its not the same except both r meat. Pepperoni should be spicy imo.@@OurStorytoTell
The food you buy on the market for tourists is not traditional Czech food. In no country they would sell traditional food on fake tourist- trap places. What you buy there is a parody suitable for no brainers to take selfies with. And: traditional food almost does not exist. Maybe if you go somewhere far into the country and find an old lady living there. Or visit a museum and they have a local cuisine day there. Otherwise, what we eat now is a modern version of food that has been for some time more or less eaten in the area. Traditional food is just an empty term used to look like a snob (or an idiot). Or get a catch title for your video.
Nice video , but i hate name Czechia, our people prefer say Czech Republic
Thanks for letting us know!
Ty jsi Čech?
It is not czecia...its the Czech Republic
"Traditional Czech Food" the only traditional czech food was that overpriced Gulas
Haha, no, that's originally Hungarian.
The Weight Watchers Company do not recommended to visit Czechia !
Haha the company doesn’t encourage living 😂
try 8k calories Fools Gold sandwich , which is 4 days worth of calories , yikes@@OurStorytoTell
You got scammed
Why do you say that? We know the food was definitely overpriced at the markets! But, still we wanted to try them!
