The Czech Republic is a beer country, but it has a small, varied Spanish dining scene. Our directory lists nine Spanish restaurants there: five in Prague, two in Brno, and one each in Hradec Králové and Karlovy Vary. Below is what each one's own listing says it does, grouped by city.
Prague
Prague has the most choice, spread across several districts. You can browse them all on our Prague page.
- Tapárna, Korunovační 570/18 in Letná (Prague 7). A tapas bar open daily from 16:00. Its listing names boquerones with tomato, croquetas, seafood, jamón, chorizo and Spanish cheeses, with a selected Spanish wine list.
- Lola Vermut y Tapas, Myslíkova 262/20. A vermouth and tapas bar serving tapas from across Spain.
- CAVA, Uralská 770/6 in Bubeneč (Prague 6). A wine and tapas bistro built around Spanish cava and wines.
- La Perla de Karlín, Šaldova 476/9 in Karlín (Prague 8). A restaurant and tapas bar specialising in paella and tapas. Listed hours are 11:30 to 22:00 every day.
- El Camino Tapas, Jagellonská 10 (Prague 3). It describes itself as fine dining, with a gourmet approach to traditional tapas. The name means "the way". Listed hours are 17:00 to midnight Monday to Saturday, plus lunch from 12:00 to 15:00 on Saturday.
If you only have one evening, the choice comes down to style. Lola is the pick for a vermouth (see our guide to la hora del vermut), CAVA for sparkling wine, El Camino for a sit-down dinner, and Tapárna or La Perla for a classic tapas round.
Brno
Brno has two listings:
- Don Pintxos, Dominikánské nám. 3. A Basque-style wine and tapas bar serving pintxos, cured ham and Manchego, with more than 150 wines on its list. Listed hours are Monday to Saturday, 16:00 to midnight.
- Vino - Wine & Tapas, Dominikánská 7. A restaurant and wine bar pairing Spanish wines with classic tapas. Its listed hours start at 08:00 on weekdays and 16:00 on Saturday.
Neither lists Sunday hours, so check before a Sunday visit. See all Brno listings on our Brno page.
Hradec Králové and Karlovy Vary
Outside the two big cities there are two more options.
- Don Juan Tapería & Arrocería, Švehlova 633/10, Hradec Králové. An arrocería is a rice house, and Don Juan specialises in traditional rice dishes, including paella, alongside classic tapas and Spanish wines. Listed hours are 09:00 to 20:00 on weekdays and 09:00 to 16:00 on Saturday.
- Sabor Mediterráneo, náměstí Dr. M. Horákové 982/1, Karlovy Vary. Its listing mentions tapas, rice dishes, Iberian meats and charcoal-grilled dishes, plus Spanish wines and DO cheeses. Listed hours are Wednesday to Sunday.
If the word arrocería is new to you, our post on Spanish rice dishes beyond paella covers what else a rice house might serve.
Tips for eating Spanish in the Czech Republic
- Tapárna and Don Pintxos open at 16:00 and El Camino at 17:00 on weekdays, so plan those for the evening. La Perla de Karlín and Vino list daytime hours too.
- Wine is a focus at many of them. Don Pintxos lists more than 150 wines, and CAVA builds its menu around cava.
- Hours above come from our listings. Places that list no hours, or no hours for a given day, may still be open, so check directly.
