Selected restaurants in Prague typically host Sunday brunches, combining good food with a social event and a pleasant way to relax on a Sunday. Brunch is a meal that falls between breakfast and lunch, usually served from the morning until the afternoon. The term itself is a blend of the English words „breakfast“ and „lunch.“ Many brunches are held in larger hotels or hotel chains. If you’re looking for a less formal gathering on a Sunday with your children, friends, or business partners, a brunch is the perfect choice for you.
A perfect start to the weekend is the Saturday brunch at the Seasons restaurant in the Hilton Hotel in Karlín.

The French refer to a similar morning spent with an abundance of food as le grand petit déjeuner. Similarly, the Chinese enjoy their weekends with Yum Cha, which is a traditional tea gathering accompanied by the consumption of many small dishes, especially steamed dumplings. Unfortunately, you won’t typically find Chinese Yum Cha in restaurants here; it’s more common in larger cities with a significant Chinese community outside of China.
Brunch typically operates in the form of a buffet for a fixed fee, sometimes featuring a tasting menu. The selection of dishes can vary widely, including a spread of cold and hot dishes, canapés, or even grilled steaks. The price often includes non-alcoholic beverages or options like beer, wine, coffee, and tea. Discounts for children are usually significant. Additionally, Sunday brunches may include accompanying social programs, such as live music or activities for children.
