White walls, lattice screens, paper lanterns and
polished granite tables create a relaxed and informal setting where a mixed crowd of
businesspeople, locals and expats enjoys authentic Japanese and Korean cuisine. Tuck
into a bowl of
bibimbap
(rice topped with meat and pickled vegetables spiced with
hot pepper paste), or order a sashimi platter - the sushi here is probably the best in
town (70Kč to 150Kč per piece).

This plain but welcoming res-
taurant, with its bright red-and-white decor, photos of Kashmiri mountains, and smil-
ing, English-speaking staff, feels more like Bradford than Žižkov. And the food is just
as authentic as you'd get in the UK's curry capital, with halal meat, richly spiced
sauces, and plenty of chilli heat. The weekday lunch special costs just 89Kč.

This music-themed pub is decked out
in rock memorabilia, and with a choice of buzzing street-level bar or more intimate
brick-vaulted basement it's more upmarket than most Žižkov pubs and has a classy
kitchen to match. The menu includes chicken Caesar salad, barbecued steak with Di-
jon mustard sauce, and a rich, dark and tasty goulash with bacon dumplings.
The pub is named after a 1972 album by Czech jazz-rock band Flamengo, which
was banned by the communist authorities (it means 'Chicken in the Watch' - hey, it
was the '70s, psychedelic drugs and all that…).
