Greek Restaurants in Prague

Greek restaurants in Prague don’t flood the city like Italian or Czech spots, but the ones you find are worth the detour. I’ve come across a few places where you’re not just getting souvlaki slapped on a plate but genuine, home-style food. Take Santorini, near Vinohrady – it’s cozy and has some of the best grilled octopus I’ve had here. And the tzatziki? Properly garlicky and fresh, not the watered-down stuff you sometimes get in touristy areas.

If you’re wandering around Žižkov, check out Mykonos Taverna. It’s low-key, with that kind of old-school charm, and the service feels like you’re popping into a neighborhood spot in Athens. They do a solid moussaka and the spanakopita is flaky and rich, just like it should be. Oh, and if you visit in winter, try the Greek coffee – it’s intense in all the right ways and a lovely way to warm up.

One thing I’ve noticed is Greek places in Prague often fly under the radar compared to other cuisines, but you’ll find authentic flavors if you know where to look. Pro tip: indulge in the fresh feta cheese and ask for extra lemon on your grilled dishes. It brightens things up in a way you might not expect but you’ll thank me later.
