Foods

Czech Republic has a very traditional meat and potatoes cuisine, with dishes heavy on gravies and root vegetables. Winter is perhaps the best time to try Czech food when hearty soups take centre stage. Foodies visiting the Czech Republic must try some popular food items like Svíčková, Kofola, Perníky, Trdelníky, Moravia, Kolache, Kulajda, Bramboráčky and Olomouc cheese.

Take a look at some of the popular food items to try in the Czech Republic.

Svíčková na smetaně (marinated sirloin)

Svíčková na smetaně consists of braised beef covered with a thick, creamy sauce of parsley root and carrots. It is usually accompanied by a side of cranberry sauce and whipped cream.

Vepřo knedlo zelo (roasted pork)

Perhaps the most traditional Czech dish you can ask for at a restaurant, Vepřo knedlo zelo is basically roasted pork with dumplings and a side of pickled cabbage.

Uzené (smoked meat)

Uzené technically means just smoked but the dish is always made with meat, usually pork. Juniper berries and peppers are often used as a side.

Rajská omáčka (beef in tomato soup)

Rajská omáčka is beef in any tomato sauce/soup. The soup is often made using a mix of chopped tomatoes and tomato paste, to which already cooked beef, onions and spices are added.
