Owned and operated by the Pilsner Urquell brewery,
Kolkovna is a stylish, modern take on the traditional Prague pub, with decor by top
Czech designers, and posh (but hearty) versions of classic Czech dishes such as
goulash, roast duck and Moravian sparrow, as well as the Czech favourite, pork and
dumplings. All washed down with exquisite Urquell beer, of course.

walls. It serves a range of unusual Afghani dishes, including
ashak

stuffed with chopped leeks and mint, served with a rich sauce of minced beef and to-

LEHKÁ HLAVA €
Mon-Fri, noon-11.30pm Sat & Sun;
;
17, 18)
Tucked away down a narrow cul-de-sac,
Lehká Hlava (the name means 'clear head') exists in a little world of its own. There
are two unusually decorated dining rooms, both with a vaguely psychedelic vibe -
tables lit from within, studded with glowing glass spheres or with a radiant wood-
grain effect. In the kitchen the emphasis is on healthy, freshly prepared vegetarian and
vegan dishes, ranging from hummus and roast vegies to spicy Asian stir-fry.
