About Havelská Koruna
No-frills cafeteria-style restaurant in Staré Město serving Czech basics since 1935. You get a tray, point at what you want, pay, and find a seat. Incredibly cheap (full meal under 150 CZK), totally local, and the svíčková is actually good. Zero English, zero atmosphere, maximum authenticity.
Insider Tips
The lunch rush (12-1pm) is chaotic but that's when food is freshest, come at noon and join the line of locals.
