Krystal Bistro

This was my second time visiting Krystal Bistro, and it’s still one of the best restaurants in Prague. Everything is top quality, perfectly cooked dishes with amazing flavors. The staff and service are outstanding, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Even as they were closing, they kindly offered us some traditional pastries (koláče, I think) - such a lovely touch! I’ll definitely be back.

We Just walked by this literal gem in Prague. Went in for some Drinks and were surprised about the amount of Detail and Love put into the Drinks. Can definitely recommend the House Made Gin infusions! We just randomly took a Look at the menu and ordered 3 entrees. All of Them we're exceptionally Well Made, creatively designed and Had a wide variety of flavor profiles. I can recommend the Krystal Bistro to everyone looking for interesting and Well Made Drinks and/or creative and adventorous food with a czech/french Touch! Thank you very much for having us! :)

Amazing time and food! Every item on the menu looked outstanding and did not disappoint. The flavors and quality were top notch and was the best we had in Prague hands down. The desserts were amazing with the stand out blueberry dumplings (if only I could have that weekly) Our server Richard was super helpful and an absolute pleasure. We would stop by again when we are back in Prague!

By far my favorite restaurant I've been to in Prague! Extremely helpful, prompt, and friendly service. The food was delicious, and the price reflected the quality fairly! I'll probably be going back before leaving!

Krystal Bistro offers traditional Czech cuisine with a modern twist. I love the changing menu, it’s always different when I visit and no matter what I’ve ordered it’s flavorful, fresh and nicely presented. Waiters speak perfect English too. As a starter we shared the croquettes and the pork belly spread (latter is like a mix of Bavarian Obazda and Schmalz) perfect with the bread. The truffle tartare was a good portion for a main and not overwhelming truffle taste. The dessert of strawberry dumplings were the best my husband ever had (he is Czech so take his word) very ligjt and fluffy not heavy at all and 3 pieces was perfect for two.

Walked in and instantly got sat down and so well taken care of by Richard. My girlfriend has a bunch of allergies and he made sure he understood them perfectly and worked hand in hand in the kitchen even returning a dish to make sure everything came out perfect! He explained the menu and was so amazing that it was literally a no brainer to give him as much money as possible! Thats not to say that the place is expensive. The portions are perfectly sized, well balanced and crafted to a delicious perfection. The prices are respectable, and coming from London we are used to tourist traps so we avoid them. A gem in prague, Krystal Bistro is a MUST VISIT!

Absolutely the best steak tartare I’ve ever had — we tried the French-style and the truffle one... absolutely top-notch. On top of that, friendly service and a great atmosphere... it definitely won’t be our last visit!

Really good food and very friendly staff. A lovely place to spend your evening. They also offer lunch menus and delicious desserts. If you're in Karlín, be sure to try their plump dumplings or veal schnitzel :) Plus, the French onion soup is top! Truly worth tasting!

Delish food. Pleasant ambiente. Fine service. What else can we wish for? Oh yea, good value/money as well :). Výborné jídlo, příjemné prostředí a dobrý servis. Co víc si jen přát? Oo ano, dobrý poměr cena/kvalita je to zrovna tak. :)

What a fabulous find! The escargot was "last meal" good, the schnitzel a taste of heaven and the desserts...there are no words. The mussels were a special and were very good but the schnitzel was better. The staff couldn't have been nicer and my only regret is that the commute from the US to Prague is too far to be here every week. DONT MISS THIS GEM!

This place was amazing. One of the best meals I've had anywhere mostly suggested by my waiter. Duck confit cooked sous vide for 12 hours then cooked again to crisp the duck's skin. Served with gnocchi in a pumpkin sauce. With salad of coriander greens, arugula, chile, and fennel. Delicious! I started with beef tartare that was also amazing. Even before that the restaurant offered an amuse bouche of smelly cheese. The wait service was excellent. My waiter recommended an excellent local pinot noir with the appetizer and local craft beer with the duck. I ended the meal with plum dumpling which had poppy seeds, stewed plum in a dumpling with walnut plum sauce topped with farmer cheese. The cafe Americano I had was also great.

The guy at the front counter was quite rude to us. (But that seems to just be the Czech way.) We walked into a half empty restaurant looking for a particular dish. He informed us that the restaurant was filled and they didn't have room for us. Umm, okay? Then why are there so many empty seats? We decided to order the food to go. When we got the bag there wasn't any cutlery in it. We asked for cutlery and he said they didn't have any. What kind of a restaurant doesn't include (or at least offer) plastic cutlery to to-go guests? Disappointed I ate the food with my hands. It wasn't even that good, either. My grandma makes it better. I threw half of it away.

I enjoyed it all. When The Swede orders lox, I groaned but to my surprise it was fairly refreshing served with pomegranate and mangoes . I'm going to start this pairing at home. We ordered the specials for dinner and both were solid. Duck breast with balsamic vinaigrette. Entrecote with sunchokes chips provided nice texture and flavor. I really enjoyed the in-house sea buckthorn lemonade. Sea buckthorn has recently made an appearance in The States as a "super food" and cosmestics additive but is fairly common in this part of the world.

This place was FANTASTIC. Exceptional service, exceptional food. 11/10 highly recommend and would definitely go again.

Okay spot. Lunch had maybe 7 menu items. Service was slow and very dry. "What do you want". I've noticed that might be a common restaurant introduction in Prague. The mashed potatoes were amazing but the meatloaf, terrible. Very chunky and felt like it came out of a can like Spam. We will not be visiting this spot again.

Krystal bistro was our favorite restaurant in Prague. The service and meal were most contemporary and hip, feeling like a spot in Brooklyn or Berlin. Tomas, our waiter, was so kind to us and knowledgeable of each ingredient in our delicious meals, and his perfect English made it easy for us to order. Reservations are a must as it is cozy with no bar seating. There is outdoor sidewalk seating in pleasant weather. We enjoyed the delicious grilled cheese and Bob's bacon tartine for a starter along with the season's first asparagus. Our main courses were traditional veal schnitzel with delicious potato salad and the lamb kabob with couscous. For dessert, the dumpling is a must. One dumpling is perfect to share. Lastly the regional white wine was also perfect with the meal. We have recommended Krystal to many friends living in and visiting Prague already!

I really enjoyed my meal here. The server was super sweet and the service was fast. (May have been due to the fact that so arrived 30 minutes before closing.) The server recommended the French onion soup and the duck confit. Both were excellent. I had the dumpling with quark and strawberries for dessert. That was good as well.

Wine quality could be better, didn't try anything else there but the location is nice and personnel was friendly as well

Creative, modern Czech cuisine with French touch. Great drinks as well. Very nice for a business lunch or group lunch as well! Friendly service, not overpriced. Highly recommended!

Honestly one of the best restaurants I've eaten at. Chicken was amazing. Apricot dumpling is also amazing

The pumpkin soup was so good. I really liked their sirloin special with creamy potatoes. Their pumpkin cheesecake and plum dessert was so tasty. Very friendly service.

really good taste. Nice ambiente, friendly stuff and English speaking. Location's ok.

I have eaten lunch at Krystal a few times since I've been in Prague and will keep coming back. They are very pleasant here, the food is good, they accept major credit cards, and they really know their menu which helps for someone not from this country.

Had dinner here last night, and I must say it was awesome! Great food and friendly fluent English service. The menu is short but diverse and easy to find something for most palettes. I had the beef tartare and lamb shank. A lot for one dinner. The wine by the glass is also quite good so you don't need a bottle to enjoy a good meal.
