The Prague Restaurant - Scarborough

A nice restaurant next to a park. Various food items from Prague /Czech republic are served including sausages, stews, schnitzels etc.The balcony offers a view of the park which is quite relaxing.For kids they will give you some crayons and paper to draw on. A high chair is also proposed.

Really wanted to love this place and to have it become a regular spot of ours, given our heritage, but sadly, came away extremely disappointed. First and foremost, I wish to discuss the poor value proposition offered here. For two of us, I spent $150 all-in, which, to me, is preposterous for the quality and quantity of food we were fed. While it's a much-less fancy spot, you'd be much, much, better off making the trek to the opposite end of the city, to Golden Pheasant, if Czech/Slovak fare is what you're craving. There, the portions are significantly larger (more than twice the size, seriously), and the dishes overall, in my humble opinion, superior in every quantifiable regard, from the cook to the flavour to the quality of ingredients. Everything there just tastes so much better. Sure the garnish might not be as cute, but that's irrelevant to me- I'd much rather the spot that tastes much better. Everything we had here was just a sad, lacklustre, representation of the dish it was meant to represent, from the goulash soup to the schnitzels we ordered, through to the pork hock... Highlight for us was the apple strudel, which is perhaps the smallest portion of the dish we'd ever seen- for toddlers, truly. Service was near warm nor cold. Location is stunning, however, and is a big redeeming factor here, and the only reason I'm awarding 2 vs. just 1 star- it is nestled in a scenic and picturesque little nook of Scarborough. While the interior is certainly dated and could use with upgrading, it's just fine for the time being, and just works against the lovely expansive views over the green- I'd return just to be able to dine against such a backdrop. I really can't say for certain, and don't mean to be gate-keepy, however, I'm willing to bet there's not a Czech or Slovak person in the kitchen... it's just speculation on my end, but I'm assuming that's why the dishes simply lack any passion or depth of flavour- and if it is a Czech or Slovak prepping the food, then I'm sorry, brother/sister, but you've strayed... A sad day for me, as after wanting to make it here for so many years, I had high hopes, but came away sorely disappointed- especially when considering how much I spent. Sad food. Go to Golden Pheasant instead- it's far from Prague, but so worth the drive for what you get.

One of the most unique dining experiences in Toronto and well worth the drive if you don’t live nearby. The restaurant is tucked into a green park and dining room overlooks a field of huge mature trees. If you sit on patio it’s even better…feels like you’re fine dining in treehouse. Food is hearty and delicious Central European fare. Think schnitzel, bread dumplings and goulash. Czech food isn’t as well know as other cuisines but when cooked right it’s delicious. Great Czech Beers on tap plus good cocktails and wine list, all served by friendly staff in a ambiance that blends old world art with new world service. Cannot recommend Prague Restaurant highly enough!

Our family went there for dinner tonight due to the high rating. I was mildly disappointed. 1) the service was just mediocre. Maybe it was just this one waitress that served us. She could be friendlier. 2) We ordered the platter for 2. For $62, the portion should have been bigger. The food was tasty but not memorable. 3) the patio was very nice though so I gave it a 5 stars. 4) The kids menu is on the pricey side.Kid-friendliness: They offered a kids menu but it was expensive.

The patio setting and vibes at Prague are fantastic. We came for an anniversary dinner and really enjoyed our food. The schnitzel was crisp and very tasty. My only complaint was the service. After we ordered our drinks the server took our menus and forgot about us until we flagged her down and asked if we could order. She said somebody took our menus (she did! and thought we had ordered. Bizarre. For our desert she brought me a lukewarm coffee and no strudel. By the time the strudel arrived my coffee was done and I wasn’t asked for a refill. Maybe she was having an off night or a new server? Aside from the service, our experience here was very good.
