    Interesting experience and great food at reasonable prices. You can eat in front (burgers, etc. or buy raw meat for you to cook at home) OR you can eat inside. Inside you get a card and you order food and drinks that get written on the card. When you leave, you show them the card and you pay for what you consumed. Interesting system. The food is mouth watering and you can get the portion sizes you want and put them on your tray. For deserts, we had to choose from 2 options and it took 10 minutes to make it. They gave us this large bone to take at the table where the desert was served to us when ready. Funny system. The beer was good as well and they had a couple of other drinking options.

    This is a great place to pig out on meat and beer. Meat is simple, cooked well and high quality. I got beef, sausage and soup. All of them were delicious and high quality. I paid total 523 CZK. It is self service restaurant. You get a check during entrance and you get food with it from the food stand.

    Definitely my favorite food location in Prague. If you love meat you will love this place. It is a mix of a canteen and a butcher. Everything is super uncomplicated with self-service, but the food is tasty and the prices are moderate. It’s always very crowded and you can not reserve. But look around and you will find a table.

    We heard about Kantyna through Taste of Prague Food Tours. It was the most amazing, quirky, casual restaurant we’ve been to in Prague, and it’s a must-visit if you’re ever in the Czech Republic! 🇨🇿 If you like high-quality meat prepared in a bunch of different ways, this is the place for you. 🥩🥓🍖 Think old-school, no-frills cafeteria with mouth-watering meat dishes and scrumptious sides, all charged by weight. Plus some of the best beer and dessert we’ve ever had. 🍻 Dinner was so good, we went again the next day for lunch. When you enter the restaurant, you think you’re in a butcher’s shop because, well, you are. The first room is the butcher where you can choose from different cuts of meat to be cooked on-site. We instead kept walking to the second room which had a cafeteria-style line with lots to choose from. Everything was amazing, and relatively affordable too given the large beers and top-notch flavor. Check it out if you’re ever in Prague!

    Very cool place and very tasty food. I'd say that the concept may not be for everyone since you have to kind of fight to find a place where to eat. You can just also stand and it on the huge table that's in the middle of the restaurant which used to be a bank. The queues are long inside the restaurant when you want to order beers or food. Nevertheless,the waiters are very kind and willing to help you .

    If you're a meat enthusiast, Kantýna in Prague's trendy New Town is a must-visit. This laid-back communal dining restaurant stands out with its unique butcher's section at the front. Diners can handpick their preferred cut or delicacy, specifying their desired preparation. It's worth noting that the service is more of a self-serve style, but it aligns well with the overall vibes and pricing. Don't miss the adjacent bar, offering a variety of beverages from coffee and lemonades to soft drinks and, of course, beer. The modern, minimalistic interior design, an unexpected twist for a butcher shop, adds a touch of sleek sophistication to the overall dining experience.

    This was our first time in Prague and eating here was one of the highlights of our trip! I wasn't able to take a lot of photos because I completely was focused on the food. Lol It's actually a bar and a self service restaurant. You have to ask for that card. If you want some drinks, go to the bar and hand that card. If you want some meat you go that window where the food is and give that card. They will write down what you got and you pay in the counter when you leave. The meat was amazing! The best restaurant so far!

    Literally the best food we’ve had on our three week vacation in Europe. Seven countries and this is our favorite. Four nights here and we ate at this restaurant Three of the four nights. Super tasty would definitely recommend you check it out. Just be prepared to fend for yourself and find yourself a table. It gets really crowded as its super popular. No place for week men. 😂

    Simply a great place. A bit expensive but worth it. They don't serve as an ordinary restaurant. Instead, you pick the meat (from a variety of different cuts) from the butcher, order side dishes and go sit down. Once the order is ready they'll serve it to the table. The meat was excellent, the side dishes were good. We took tenderloin, sirloin, flank steak and beef tartar. They were all excellent. The service is fast and friendly. The only downside is that it's very crowded, there are so many customers on busy hours that you'd need to wait a bit for a place to sit. But it's definitely worth the wait.

    Best place to eat meat based meals. They have an amazing hamburger, probably the best in Prague. The steaks are heavenly delicious🤤 . It’s a self service concept, find a table first and then go to order food. Prices are per 100 grams so ask for the total price. The prices are fair for what you get. Very friendly and helpful staff. It’s a must try in Prague

    Amazing food. Self service. Great atmosphere. Great value for money. The restaurant is self service you order from the bar and you get charged by the weight it's a very interesting system because you can get as much as you want from what you want. The food is very tasty and high quality. The decoration is minimal and it resembles a market! I totally recommend it and it's a must visit in Prague!

  • 5/5 Michaela S. 5 years ago on Google
    If you’re a fan of meat, then this is the right place for you! High quality, fresh meat, professionally done. They serve mostly Czech traditional dishes; that means greasy and everything but healthy but so good. Also a very casual place, good for meeting your friends and getting a beer or two. It is usually packed and you have to wait a few minutes to find a seat; they don’t accept reservations. Prices are low and you get a lot of good food. Highly recommended!

    (Translated by Google) For monotonous and boring (in a restaurant sense) Prague, this place, of course, is already a step forward. That is why the staff behaves as if they are already in 2038. Reservations are not accepted. Delicious tatarak, slightly supercooled pilsen, expensive. (Original) Для однообразной и скучной (в ресторанном смысле) Праги это место, конечно, уже шаг вперёд. От того и персонал ведёт себя так, как будто они уже в 2038. Резервации не принимают. Вкусный татарак, слегка переохлаждённая плзень, дорого.

    One of the more unique experiences you can get in Prague. The staff is very friendly, the food is nice, especially the meat products, and reasonable priced for the quality and the location. There was too much alcohol taste in the dessert for my taste. It is a nice place to bring friends to have an informal meal, however, if you want to converse during the meal, you should look for another establishment as the place gets really loud even with a few customers.

  • 5/5 Vitaliy G. 2 years ago on Google
    Heaven for meat lovers with friendly informal atmosphere:) (NB: gets pretty crowded and noisy in the evenings:)) Our personal favorites are carpaccio, tartar, and steaks(I personally loved it with coffee sauce). As one can imagine, they serve amazing Czech beer..). Everyone from the staff is friendly (the hostess, the waiters, the bartenders, and the cooks). During the lunch time the place is not crowded at all, so depending on what you are after, calm atmosphere or rather bar-type vibe,chose the time when you go there:) .P.S. they have the chairs for the small kids, so you can go there with the whole family

    The meat here is very fresh and they cook it very well. Last time I ate steak and this time I try all the cooked meats they have. I appreciate the casseroles. The only negative is that I almost lost my place twice when ordering food. And it's also a bit sad that they changed the type of hamburger before. I like the old one a lot more.

  • 5/5 Juriy 1 year ago on Google
    Meat lovers paradise. Insanely fresh, large selection of both raw and cooked meats, top quality. The burger was perfect—juicy and flavorful and cooked perfectly to my preference. Beef tartare simply melted in my mouth paired with the generous heaping of mayo and some kind of herb oil. Also tried beef neck and pulled beef and it was nice but not as memorable. Special shout-out to a potato pancake which was just incredible! I would go here just to try it, seriously. Also pickles. What a great pickle, not too sour, just sweet enough, just pickled enough. Chef’s kiss.

    Self service canteen style, variety of drinks and meats on offer. The bone marrow was excellent. The staff were friendly and spoke English, but none of the drinks or meat menu on the board were in English. Difficult to know what was on offer and how much it was. Bit of guessing and pointing needed. Overall, it was great, highly recommend as a casual meal.

    Delicious Prague deli experience. Great food, great vibe. You cannot get closer to great meat than buying directly from a butcher. Highly recommend to tourists looking for great value and those seeking a tasty lunch alike. Order the tartare. Just do it.... You can thank me later.

    Great place! When you enter, you get a card so the service writes what you have ordered at the stalls and in the end you pay the bill by the counter. Order numbers you get are written on the bone- so cool. The burger was fantastic, the meat was excellent and ideally cooked. The atmosphere is casual and nice and the service very helpful and positive. Would come back for sure 😃

    What a cool concept. We really loved everything about this place. We visited twice, once to dine in, and once takeaway meats to cook at home, and we were incredibly impressed both times. The staff were all so friendly and knowledgeable, and we really appreciated their above and beyond efforts to explain everything in detail and offer knowledgeable suggestions on everything they had to offer. Highly recommend the pork neck from the front counter, as well as the fine selection of slow cooked meats out back.

  • 5/5 Pete G. 4 months ago on Google • 33 reviews
    My second visit and loved it again. My wife and I ate a small cow and a lamb :-). Decent veg, cracking mash and a nice coffee. Loved it. Atmosphere was a little dull but it was early doors. The only downside are the locals who just push past when there were a dozen of us queuing, waiting for the doors to open. Well recommended!!! The two guys who served us were friendly and looked like they enjoyed working here.

  • 5/5 Zalman R. 4 years ago on Google
    I think I should become their official ambassador! It's just a Great place for Meat lovers, who enjoy quality and have respect foe the animals. Only high quality fresh products weather it is Barley bread, cucumber salad or a Tomahawk dried steak. Rather high priced but worth every single cent.

  • 5/5 Regina G. 3 years ago on Google
    Best Carpaccio, Tartar, Steak and Tankbeer in Prague! The concept is pretty cool, the name Kantyna says it all. You find a seat or standing table, and go grab your food and drinks. Very friendly staff will also explain you how it works. Food quality is the best I ever had!!

  • 4/5 Croissant C. 3 years ago on Google
    After all the hype about their burger I’m a bit disappointed. There are better ones like Mikrofarma. I did enjoy the grilled bone marrow. The interior and the layout of the place is stunning. So worth a visit when it is not to crowded

  • 5/5 Nishanthini S. 3 years ago on Google
    The food was incredible. It is a former bank building. The architecture is incredible. When you walk in, first you see their butcher. After passing him, you' ll a ticket. In the middle of the room is a long beautiful marmor table. On the one side you can choose from a variety of meat and side dishes. You'll pay per gramm! The goulash is really good, the meat is tender and good quality.

  • 5/5 Tibor S. 4 years ago on Google
    Just one thing you have to know about this place: meat cuts! If you're not into that, go somewhere else. On the other hand, if exactly that's your craving, don't get distracted by the stark and somewhat loud atmosphere and give this place a go. Prices are at the higher end of the scale (at least compared to local average prices), but there are no compromises when it comes to quality. Selection of cuts varies, but you usually have the choice between 2-3 different cuts and a lot of side dishes. Beer on tap is also a delight, but that's a given for almost anywhere in Czech Republic.

    Honestly, I don't like this type of large and noisy space. But the non-traditional concept is worth seeing and most importantly - the meat here is just great. A little overpriced when considering the place and offer.

    (Translated by Google) After today's experience, I probably won't come here :-) After waiting almost 40 minutes, we were told that we would not be able to order. (55 minutes until closing) And it was our turn to settle down. They didn't tell us to tell us this information before. The waitress just replied: "We've already said it here". The truth was that all the waitresses present took turns on their "smoking breaks." Disappointment for ambi, really. (Original) Po dnešním zážitku už asi sem nevkročím :-) Po skoro 40- ti minutovém čekání nám bylo řečeno, že už si nestihneme objednat. ( 55 minut do zavíračky) A to už jsme byli na řadě k usazení. Neráčili nám tuhle informaci říct dřív. Servírka jen odvětila :”už jsme to tady říkali”. Pravda byla taková, že všechny přítomné servírky se vystřídaly na svých “kouřících pauzách”. Zklamání pro ambi, opravdu.

  • 5/5 Jan K. 3 years ago on Google
    It was an incredible experience in Prag. The meat was top quality. Right when you enter, you see the butchery counter with all the different things you can eat / order / get prepared for yourself. We tried a lot of the stuff there, and it was all really good. You can also get some already prepared food, like the name implies, cantine-style. It also looked really good, but we stayed with the butchery. They prepare it all the way yu want it to be and serve some side-dishes and fresh-made sauces / dips (test the chimichurri, it´s worth it!). The staff was truly one of the nicest and sympathic in all over Prag, hands up for them. Even the place is interesting. It´s a former bank and they kept some of the inventory, especially the old banking counter, a massive marble table right in the middle of the room. Definitely worth a visit while staying in Prag. But beware, the prices are a little higher than in your average restaurant. But totally worth it!

    (Translated by Google) As a restaurant with a unique concept, it was good to be able to choose all menus from meat to side menus and alcohol according to your taste. When it was difficult to choose a menu, the staff kindly guided you so you could choose without worrying. I said that T-bone was famous, but when I went, there was no T-bone, so I picked two steaks recommended by the staff, but both were so delicious that I couldn't say it. (Original) 독특한 컨셉의 식당으로 고기부터 사이드메뉴, 술까지 모든 메뉴를 본인의 취향에 따라 고를 수 있어 좋았고 메뉴 고르는 것이 어려울 땐 직원들이 친절하게 안내해줘서 고민없이 고를 수 있었다. 티본이 유명하다고 했는데 내가 갔을 땐 티본이 없어 직원추천의 스테이크를 두개 골랐는데 두개 다 진짜 이루 말로 할 수 없을만큼 맛있었다 ㅠㅠ 진짜 프라하 다시 가게되면 재방문의사 100%!!

    (Translated by Google) Food and drink excellent. The name of the company accurately describes the concept of service, the first to come may surprise the newcomer. I saw the food on a wooden tray lined with paper for the first time. Who is poor can only watch. Well, the center of Prague. When we checked the receipt, we also found out that the young lady had stretched us out. Maybe it was just a mistake. (Original) Jídlo i pití výborné. Název podniku přesně vystihuje koncept obsluhy, prvně příchozí možná překvapí. Jídlo na dřevěném tácu vystlané papírem jsem viděl prvně. Kdo je chud, může se jen koukat. Inu cetrum Prahy.

    They under charge. When you being honest and offer to pay the actual bill for the order you did order. They charge you for all sides even thouh no one said they are cost anything and no one eat them... Zero customer experience and instead of being kind and defuse the situation they basically ignore all and don't care. Stay away service wise. Embarrassing. Shame because the food was not bad

  • 3/5 Izzy S. 2 years ago on Google
    Interesting concept. Fantastic meat. But too expensive for what it is… Having made some research about the Prague food scene, we decided to try Kantyna. The concept is original and interesting with a butcher shop flanked by a cantine type restaurant. You can’t book it so you either wait with a drink in the middle room or you take pot luck, cross the rooms and find a seat… We chose a piece of beef at the butcher side which was weighed then cooked to liking and served with the sauces and side dishes we wanted. I have to say that it was probably one on the best steak we ever had. Close to the ones we had in Argentina or Chile. The problem is that all along the process, what you ordered is notified on a piece of paper you then present at the cashier at the end, but never is there question of price. So you end up with a surprisingly expensive bill at the end which make the all experience, until then amazing, suddenly rather sore… Be aware…

    An interesting concept with a self-service style restaurant. I personally probably wouldn’t go back or recommend it as I’m vegetarian so there weren’t many options (which is fair as this restaurant is catered to meat eaters - and I went with a meat eater). I felt quite limited but the food options I could have were nice. I also found it to be a little overwhelming because it was so loud and the self service system was a little confusing at first as no server explained the process to us. I would likely rate it a 2 or 3/5 but as I know this restaurant isn’t catered to me, I think others would still enjoy it.

    So, so good. This is my idea of perfect comfort food. The meats were so delicious. Concept is simply to queue up and pick out what you want. They weigh it and you pay by weight. It is more expensive than some places in Prague but compared to London it's amazing value. I will be dreaming of this food for quite a while. I literally went twice in one day. Definitely go there if you're in Prague and you're not a vegan!

    Excellent restaurant. Self service concept with nice implementation, a little hard to find a table, but well worth it once you do. Recommend finding a table and then going to get your food and drinks. Tried the burgers and tried the steaks from the butcher at the front where you can select the meat. Burger was very good and the steak was VERY good. Must try when in Prague. Also, I think I am now addicted to chimichurri.

    A unique take on dining where you can either stand or find a table to eat. Service was quick and efficient. Food was superb a more pricy place in Prague but for what we had it was fair.

    Canteen style self service where you are given a numbered card and you visit the 3 different stations (Cold meats, prepared hot food and drinks) within the restaurant to order your food and you pay at the end of your visit. Highlights are the beef carpaccio, roast beef, and cheeseburger. Steak tartare was delicious with a generous serving. This restaurant prides itself on fresh ingredients and may not have every item on the menu that day as it depends on what's in season. The staff are friendly and efficient with drinks and clearing the table. If you are a meat lover, you can't go wrong with this place!

    Not all dishes were as good but in general I would say it's a good place to go. The most expensive dish was the meat, as expected. It's self service, they give you a card when you enter and then you can go and order your beer or food in the two different sections (already prepared dishes or the meat/burger/tartar) and then when you are going out you pay.

    Simply THE BEST!!! Amazing food, wonderful service and great atmosphere!! The prices are affordable too for the quality of meat, everything is cooked perfectly! Definitely recommend, a must visit in prague and we always return here!

    Best place to eat and drink in Prague. Stuff is pretty friendly, the food is awesome. We had one of our best burger here. Definitely try the tartar. It’s awesome.

    Amazing quality food! Wish we had more time in Prague to go back a second time. The style of service is not for everyone but we found it to be the best value for the high quality of selection of meats. Literal canteen style and your items are marked on a card to pay at the end. Sides are served at the buffet and your choice of meat is selected in front with the butcher. Good selection of beer, wine and lemonades as well. Something for everyone!

    This restaurant is recommended by my friend. It is a half self-services restaurant. Reasonable price, nice vibe and the staff are friendly. It is my first time to try carpaccio, much better than I imagined and the sauce brought the flavor of the dish to another level. The bone marrow is also nice. Will definitely come again.

    Dinner from the Butcher! Look forward to butcher's specials, delicacies from the chefs and favorite classics prepared in unconventional ways. You'll taste a lot of meat but it won't be your typical meat. They’ll serve you the best fire-roasted cuts, those often overlooked innards and homemade sausages. It will be 10 courses and 750 grams of premium meat in total.

  • 4/5 Damian G. 11 months ago on Google
    Interesting idea, orders on paper cards, at the counter, a bit old style. At first you do not know what and how, but ok, you can quickly understand the process. It's a popular place, there are always a lot of people. We only ate the burgers, but it was worth it. Delicious. What a perfect meat. The bun, the sauce, the pickles, everything very good. BUT. It is very small and you rather have to eat two to get full. And it is not cheap. Too bad it was our last day in Prague because I would have tried other meat as well. Probably next time.

  • 5/5 Taisa K. 8 months ago on Google
    Perfect place to enjoy Czech food. Beef tartar is the best one I have ever tried. Not so good looking, but tastes amazingly.

  • 5/5 Inês R. 11 months ago on Google
    We were greeted by a very nice guy who had the patience to explain everything to us. Very nice! We went to get our food (already cooked) and expected an amazing variety of meats kindly served by another very friendly employee. We chose the roast beef and shredded meat with puree. Both divine and full of flavor. In the end, two delicious dishes, two drinks and a full belly for £30. We would like to come back to try the meats of the butcher made at the time!

  • 5/5 Amy 8 months ago on Google
    I hardly eat meat, but I went along anyway. Although there isn't much choice for vegetarians, the quality was excellent. It was nice to have a vegetarian option that wasn't just fries or salad too. I had vegetables and potatoes which had a great taste, and I'm sure if I spoke the language I'd have had other options too. You could help yourself to bread. Simple set up with a good vibe, good staff.

  • 5/5 Dudley N. 11 months ago on Google
    This is a butcher with a diner out the back. No reservations, just walk ins. There are lots of pre-made dishes, or you can buy a cut of meat from the counter and they'll cook it for you. Drinks also available from a separate counter. This is a meat lovers paradise!

  • 5/5 Irem D. 8 months ago on Google
    They are making the best meat dishes! Every single piece of meat we have eaten was delicious and amazingly cooked. Even the side dishes like potatoes and vegetables were very tasty. The biggest problem with this place is to find a table. You order your food and sit wherever you see available. As a group of 4 people, it was challenging to find a table to sit. We had to act fast and argue with people to secure a table for us.

    Outstanding place for causal meeting with friends, is you hate view of raw meat you might struggle there. Besides this, food is amazing, service is fantastic and prices are reasonable! Interior is really kept in good condition and really spacious!

  • 4/5 Davide M. 7 months ago on Google
    It's a self-service restaurant, most of the meat is already prepared and you can place an order at the counter in the indoor hall. You have to wait for the steaks as they are cooked to order. We tasted many of their specialties and were very satisfied. There is no possibility of reserving a table, all the spaces are shared and to eat you have to find your own place or even stand. The quality is very high but I suggest to avoid peak hours because we had to wait outside for 40 minutes since there were two of us, but for groups it is more difficult.

  • 5/5 Simon C. 7 months ago on Google
    What an amazing consept... Self service with the best meats available in Prague. Share a table with strangers and get to know them. Best place to be if you love food and a good vibe. Well done

  • 5/5 Channel K. 8 months ago on Google
    Amazing beef tartar, a big portion for a great price. The bread is fresh and you can take as much as you need. Pickled veggies are also very tasty but my favourite were those smooth boiled potatoes that melt in your mouth with the tartar sauce. You have to be aware tho that you need to order at the different stations for drinks and food. Some dishes will be brought to the table but it's more self service. Kantyna is definitely worth the hype.

    A special experience!❤️❤️❤️ Unfortunately there was no T-bone steak, so I ordered tenderloin. It was absolutely delicious! Carpaccio was great, but you should definitely order steak! And the service of the staff was good, and they took care of me in many ways. Thank you!🥰

  • 5/5 Henri H. 7 months ago on Google
    Very unique place in Prague that should be on your list when you visit. It is a meat eater paradise! When you enter you get a kind of scorecard where they will write down what you order (majority of the meat is already cooked or you can get some other cuts from the butchery) and you take it to wherever you can find a seat. Do your self a favor and DO NOT MISS on the Bone-marrow!

  • 5/5 Paul C. 7 months ago on Google
    Very very delicious food for a very affordable price. The concept it’s also very interesting and you don’t have to wait long. I would if visiting Prague, here should be one of the places where you should eat.

  • 5/5 Sanne K. 5 months ago on Google
    Although the staff didn't really speak English, they tried everything to make sure I got what I wanted to eat and drink. The food was simply amazing, I went back a second time to try the things I hadn't had yet. Every type of meat you try is so tender. The food is very oily and greasy but the taste is amazing. The price did not disappoint either. The concept might be a bit vague for non-Czechs when you first enter but once you understand it works great. They'll fill out the card for you and you just pay before leaving. I would honestly go here again whenever I get the chance. The place itself is just very casual and low-key in a kind of trendy way. It wasn't busy when I went there but it was certainly not quiet. A lot of locals seemed to be eating here. Me and my boyfriend did spend a little more money but not because it was expensive, we just ate a lot. We went for a late lunch and were full all evening.

  • 5/5 Pablo M. 5 months ago on Google
    I loved this place. When you enter you get a paper card that you handle to the the staff every time you want food or drinks. Food can be bought by weight or per dish depending on what you order. I tried two different meats and both were fantastic. The place used to be an old bank so it’s definitely an experience to eat there. Strongly recommended!

  • 4/5 hny 5 months ago on Google
    You can eat many kind of meat dishes, and all of them are delicious, which you can’t find in Japan. Above all the sheer volume of the food like some kind of event. The popular atmosphere is one of the elements that makes it enjoyable. On the other hand, it was difficult for foreigners to understand systems and prices, and it was more expensive that I expected.

  • 4/5 Timothy W. 4 months ago on Google
    Popular place in Prague. Young crowd. Good vibe, good food, especially the pork. A bit noisy inside. Dogs are allowed, that was a bit of a surprise. All in all, worth visiting.

  • 5/5 Celine Ann T. 4 months ago on Google
    Amazing! Do not be intimidated as a tourist, what you will be met with is a butcher shop at the entrance. Walk past and there will be someone handing you a paper. I suggest to find a table first and then take the paper to place your orders either at the butcher out front, or the hot meals in the middle. Kantyna will always be full and popular with the locals. Ordered their beef carpaccio, nothing short of amazing! Fresh and flavorful! Also had some potato pancake (a tad salty for me) and of course their burger and a side of chimichurri which is chef’s kiss. Had everything with beer. Will go back! Highly recommend!
