Overview
U Červeného páva is a genuine, unpretentious spot tucked away on a side street in Prague’s Old Town, offering an authentic escape from the typical tourist routes. The interior is designed to feel like a private, book-filled living room, complete with a piano covered in red candles that sets a warm, relaxed tone for your meal. The menu is strictly traditional, featuring staples like goulash with dumplings, sirloin beef with cranberries, and crispy fried cheese, all paired well with house-made lemonades. Because of its popularity with locals and savvy visitors, it is wise to book in advance if you plan to visit on a weekend, though you can usually secure a table on weekdays with minimal waiting.
