Coffee Cantata - Prague

For your morning constitutional I suggest that you  take a walk, or run (the locals are very fitness friendly) over the river to the Mala Strana side, to explore the lovely old apartment buildings, stately homes, Baroque Palaces, and in contrast, the cosy neighbourhood cafes that embrace the role of social hubs during the long winter months.
For a truly wonderful experience that will take you back a couple of centuries head for the  Savoy Café - on Vitenza, just across the Most Legii (Bridge).The Savoy oozes lashings of old world charm, sophistication, and atmosphere – take special note of the beautifully embossed and painted ceilings with their elegant Chandeliers, and impeccable waiter service to match. Morning coffee and a pastry are served on a silver tray accompanied with a glass of sparkling mineral water (a nice touch). Lunch here can be as simple as three frankfurters served floating sedately in an elegant lidded bowl and served with a choice of three different types of mustard, three slices of bread and a small bowl of grated cheese. Excellent local wine compliment the food.

In the same street, just up the road, there’s a great bakery, Paneria, where you can enjoy your first of the morning sweet or savoury pastry with a particularly good blend of strong black coffee.

Cafe Edel-Ungel in the lane on the left hand side of the Tyn Church is the perfect place for a sightseers mid morning caffeine fix.
