Hai Ha, the orange-fronted stall near the Sapa toilets, serves what Prague's Vietnamese community calls the city's best bun cha, grilled pork with rice noodles and dipping broth.
Tip: Look for the orange shop with the trash can outside; bring small notes.
Address: Libusska 319/126, 142 00 Praha 4, Prague
The Saturday Naplavka market puts a hundred stalls along the Rasinovo embankment selling Czech sausages off the grill, langos, fish soups and seasonal kolache from late winter to autumn.
Try: Czech farm sausages, langos, kolache
Tip: Arrive before 10:00; the soup stall by the bridge runs out by noon.
The grill stands on Old Town Square sell Czech klobasa sausages with mustard and a slice of dark rye, the working version of Prague street food. Tourist mark-up, real flavour.
Try: Klobasa grilled sausage
Tip: Pay in advance, get the smoked klobasa rather than the boiled.
Manifesto Market Florenc gathers twenty-plus street-food stalls under one shipping-container yard near the central bus station: tacos, pasta, banh mi, ramen, Czech klobasa.
Try: Twenty-plus street food stalls
Tip: Cashless only; aim for the early evening shift before the after-work crowd.
Mr HotDog in Letna is a tiny counter the neighbourhood books a week ahead. The American-style hot dogs and sliders are taken seriously enough to fill a 15-seat room nightly.
Try: American-style hot dogs
Tip: Reserve a counter spot; the slider plus chilli fries beats the dog alone.
A Naplavka Saturday-market stall built on a single Czech farm soup recipe, the Bohemian carp-and-pike fish soup served in mugs by the river with a hunk of dark rye.
Try: Czech freshwater fish soup
Tip: Get there by 10:30; the stall sells out before lunch.
Sisters Bistro on Dlouha is the modern face of the Czech chlebicky, the open-faced sandwich. Spreads come from a 30-kilometre-away farm, take-away crowd peaks at lunch.
Try: Chlebicky open-faced sandwiches
Tip: Order a flight of three; the egg and beetroot are the best buys.
