Czech savoury potato pancakes: grated potato, flour, garlic, marjoram and crushed garlic, fried in a thin disc until crisp. Beer-hall snack, sometimes filled with smoked pork.
Bramboracky are working-class Czech food, born from rural kitchens making something cheap from potatoes, flour and the herbs in the garden. The garlic-and-marjoram seasoning is canonical; the smoked-meat version is the south Bohemian variation. U Medvidku and U Fleku keep them as standing pub snacks; the home version is family memory across the country.

Lokal U Bile Kuzelky ★ 4.3
mala-strana · Misenska 80/12, 118 00 Praha 1

U Fleku ★ 4.2
nove-mesto · Kremencova 183/11, 110 00 Praha 1

U Medvidku ★ 4.0
stare-mesto · Na Perstyne 345/7, 110 00 Praha 1
