Wonderful I came at 8 AM. It was not crowded. I had the goulash. It was great. It came with a basket of bread. I had the fresh squeeze orange juice and got a free refill. I would highly recommend this place at Central to old town.

Came for early dinner and this was the perfect spot. You really get the historical feel still when you sit there and enjoy your meal. We got beef soup with liver dumpling, goulash, and then sacher torte and apple cake with meringue with tea and coffee to round out our meal.

We had a reservation so we were seated on the dining side of the restaurant which is a little nicer and intimate for couples. The food was pretty good. The Venison Ragout was cooked nicely and the Svičková was tasty. The service is not something I'm used to. They take your order and then don't really check on you very much so if you need something you have to flag your server down. Wasn't the most friendly or accommodating, but still professional.

Cool local restaurant. Bernard beer on tap. We went for lunch and had the chicken paprikash, which was delicious. The shopksa salad was excellent. Highly recommend coming here. The service was good too!

Great service. Quaint atmosphere. Not too noisy. We lucked out and found a seat right away for a small late lunch + treats. We split the club sandwich and a piece of Louvre cheesecake. I also ordered a decadent cafe Louvre hot chocolate. Petite, rich, and fabulous to sip slowly while soaking in the cafe atmosphere. The club sandwich comes with sliced hard boiled egg, which I requested in the side. It's a substantial, triple decker sandwich- perfect for sharing. Tasted good, too! The cheesecake has thick slices of peaches baked inside. The texture of the cheesecake is lighter and less dense than I'm used to but it tasted wonderful. What a treat to dine here!

Beautiful historic restaurant. Service and detail were fantastic. The fried turkey chops and Viennese potato salad were good. Make sure you save some time to walk around this 100 year old restaurant!

When visiting Prague, do not forget to stop by the Cafe LouvreFounded in 1902 and visited by renown personalities such as Franz Kafka and Albert Einstein, serves traditional Czech cuisine as well as light fare. I ordered a little afternoon pick me up: a cappuccino and a tiramisu. The service was delightful and when I asked if I may keep the placemat as a souvenir, the waiter said he would bring me a brand new one. As for my cappuccino, it was one of the most delicious ones I've had during my short stay in Prague and the tiramisu was very tasty. I sat in the room with the large posters and the terrarium where I watched the neat little chameleon. It is truly one of my favorite spots in Prague. Know before you go: 1) You can borrow a chess set and/or play billiards in their Billiard hall. 2) On warm summer days, you can sit outside in their Summer terrace. 3) You can grab yourself a free Czech newspaper here. 4) Salon rooms can be rented out for private events for parties of 15 to 50 people.

Cafe Lourve is located in the heart of Old Town at a unique location with rich history. Cafe Lourve has been in existence since 1902 being one of the oldest cafes in Europe. Even though the pace of the times has quickened, they still insist on preserving the old café traditions. The historic cafe retains its charm just as Franz Kafka, and Albert Einstein experienced during their visits. Upon my recent visit I tried Cafe Viennois or Espresso con Panna with a croissant. The croissant was very soft and literally melted in the mouth with every bite. This is the first time I tried Viennois and it was amazing! Viennois is an espresso topped with whipped cream instead of foam milk. The drink might indeed have come from Vienna but it could also be of German, Italian, or Turkish origin, since it's usually served in a Turkish-style demitasse cup and is known by so many names. The cafe did not have a lot of vegetarian/ vegan options so I cannot comment a lot on food as I just tried the croissant, but definitely try this place to experience an old rustic cafe charm and enjoy good coffee!
