Neighborhood Czech spot with hearty classics and a broad, crowd-pleasing menu; great beer and portions, with occasional service hiccups and rare misses.
Zapomenutý Čas delivers solid neighborhood dining with well-executed Czech classics and generous portions at good value, supported by warm, efficient service and a pleasant beer garden setting. However, occasional execution lapses—cold ribs, reheated plates—undermine reliability, and the relaxed pub atmosphere, while appealing, lacks the distinction needed for a higher grade. It's a dependable local favorite rather than a destination restaurant.
A relaxed Vinohrady spot where Czech staples meet a broad comfort-food menu, the room feels cozy and unpretentious with a beer garden that draws groups. Service is often warm and efficient, and one diner noted, "they welcomed me, offered a seat, and let me decide in peace." At peak times it can get busy and lively, and noise occasionally spikes. The cooking leans classic Czech with hearty portions—think svíčková, ribs, and a standout pork knuckle with creamy horseradish—backed by burgers, pasta, quesadillas, and curry for variety. Execution is generally reliable and good value for the size and quality, though a few guests reported reheated-feel plates or a cold rib misfire. Families should find it accessible: burgers, schnitzel with fries, fried cheese, simple pasta, and lemonade all play well for kids. There is one vegan curry and several vegetarian options, but plant-based diners may want to double-check choices; there is no explicit kids menu, yet the casual atmosphere makes it easy to bring children.
