Eating and drinking
|
|
|
There are three main types of establishment in Prague and elsewhere in the country where you can get something to eat: a
restaurant
(
restaurace
), where eating is ostensibly the main activity; a
wine restaurant
(
vinA?rna
), which tends to think of itself as a touch more exclusive; and, that most typical of Czech institutions, the
pub
(
pivnice
), though these are largely concerned with serious drinking - and are covered in the next section. In practice, these definitions are blurred, with some places having
restaurace
and
pivnice
sections under the same roof, some
vinA?rna
offering food, some only wine, and so on.
