Cooking Classes in Prague

If you want to taste Prague beyond the usual restaurant scene, sign up for a cooking class. It’s one of those things where you learn a bit, laugh a lot, and eat even more. They’ll have you rolling dough for traditional koláče or seasoning goulash like a pro.

Many classes happen in cozy kitchens tucked away in spots like Vinohrady or the Old Town , somewhere you’d walk right past without knowing what goes on inside. Some instructors are expats who’ve fallen for Czech food, others are locals happy to share their grandma’s secrets. And seriously, take advantage of the seasonal stuff. Autumn classes often highlight mushroom picking or pumpkin dishes, which you might miss if it’s your first time here.

Pro tip: book a class with a group size small enough to get some one-on-one time. You’ll get more out of it, and the chefs tend to be less rushed. Also, check if the class ends with a market visit; Křizíkova or Náplavka farmers' market trips are a nice bonus. Plenty of these classes include wine or beer tastings too, which is a nice touch after all the chopping and stirring.
