Výtopna Railway Restaurant

The restaurant is very busy, so it was a good idea to book in advance. We liked everything about this place. The concept of trains bringing the food and drinks to the tables is very interesting. You are entertained until you get your order. The burgers 🍔 we ordered were delicious. The servers were friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was amazing. You definitely go to this place for experience. I felt like I'm a child again, so exciting I found watching the trains. The prices are higher than average, but it's justified. The restaurant is located on a famous square, so it's hard to miss. It's a great place for families with kids. Highly recommended.

Výtopna Restaurant was on our must-see list in Prague, but we made the mistake of not reserving in advance, which meant we had to wait about an hour in line. We were a group of six and were eventually given a table for six, along with a paper showing our table number and instructions to follow the blue (or other colored) floor markers to our table—all was clear. The paper also included a start and end time, as you are allowed to stay for one hour. The table was set with napkins and salt/pepper, but the cutlery was brought by a waitress after we sat down. As many have mentioned, the prices are on the higher side. We paid around €60 for a small set of four beers (totaling ~0.75L), two main dishes, one portion of French fries and one juice. We asked if it was possible to order and pay separately since we were with friends, but the answer was no, which was a bit inconvenient. It was also confusing when our train arrived carrying two almost-empty glasses along with two drinks that looked like our order—it felt like someone else’s leftovers! It turned out that the two drinks were indeed ours, but new orders can easily get mixed up with other people's leftovers on the train. Mistakes can be communicated to the staff and corrected, but it takes time. It's also important to be quick when removing your trays from the train. When the food finally arrived, everything looked and tasted delicious. The restroom was clean. The bill was entirely in Czech, which wasn’t helpful for English-speaking visitors trying to calculate and split costs with friends. If you’re sharing one bill, I’d recommend taking pictures of your orders and their prices as you go. All in all, the place is worth visiting at least once for its unique atmosphere and concept, but some improvements could make the experience even better.

Really unusual and not somewhere to skip! Great selection of excellent drinks and food all delivered to your table by model trains. Fantastic and we're still talking about the experience! Very popular, advanced booking recommended.

Amazing experience, a waiter takes your order and then it’s delivered by train. The food is pretty good and the portion sizes are good also. Definitely book a table when you want to go as it is very busy even on weekdays. We didn’t book and had to wait around 20 minutes to be seated in the evening.

A brilliant experience. Not only do you get your beer and food served on a train but both are excellent when they arrive. I had a flight of four beers all of which were excellent and one of the best cheeseburgers I’ve had anywhere in the world. This place prides itself on the meat it serves and isn’t shy about it hanging its beef in full view. At peak time it gets very busy but finding your table (numbered like station platforms) is simple enough. All in all a great way to spend a couple of hours.

This place offers it all. A cool experience that you won’t forget combined with delicious food which will make you wanna get more. On top of that the staff is professional and caring. I ordered a cheeseburger which was more than I expected. The burger is on the heavy side although it didn’t overwhelm and the sauce combined with the meats made it perfectly tasteful. The train service is what lead me here and it did not disappoint. The whole atmosphere was on the industrial theme and once you see how complex the train system is - you are going to be amazed. The restaurant offers a shop as well with a lot of cool souvenirs. Book in advance since the wait que is horrible long. Also it’s good to know that the inside is a bit smoky so be wary what clothes you are going to wear.

My recent visit was, unfortunately, a disappointing experience. While the novelty of the miniature trains delivering food and drinks was undeniably charming and a definite highlight, the overall experience fell significantly short of expectations. Let's start with the service. Several members of the staff came across as very rude and inattentive, and at the end of the meal the way I was asked if I wanted to leave a tip made me feel forced to do so even though I was greatly unhappy with the service. Requests were met with a degree of impatience, and general interaction lacked the warmth and hospitality one expects, especially when dining out. The real letdown, however, was the food. I ordered a steak, and it was tragically overcooked. It was dry and tough, far from the tender and flavorful medium-rare I had requested. My dining companion's steak suffered a similar fate. For a restaurant that charges premium prices for their steaks, this level of execution is simply unacceptable. Honestly, if it weren't for the train delivery system, I would have rated this restaurant much lower. The novelty is fun, but it doesn't compensate for the subpar food and lackluster service. Without the train gimmick, this place just feels overpriced and underwhelming. I wouldn't recommend it based on the food and service alone.

Food was actually really good however it came so fast after the starters you barely had chance to taste the starter. The experience of getting your food and drink on a mini train is really good however the rush of getting you all through and having your food is crazy, you cannot possibly enjoy it. I belive we got out starters literally 10 mins after after our starter if that, as the rush to get people through in an hour is crazy, even when you have booked.
