A nice touch of European setting. Food is delicious, service is good, we went there for lunch during weekdays so, wasn't that crowded. Loved their breads that came with shrimp appetizer.

Lovely place with a variety of Eastern European food! Staff are very friendly and welcoming! Food was absolutely delicious, just like if mom/grandma cooked it! Very pricey but this place has had its fare share of celebrity guests too.

Bistro Praha is truly a hidden gem. Not only a feast for the stomach but also for the eyes!
The restaurant itself has a gorgeous interior that gives it a rustic European aesthetic that definitely suits cuisine.
Each meal is fresh and prepared beautifully, making it impossible to leave without a picture or two.
The duck was definitely a family favourite by the end of a night, a must try if you enjoy rich, quality flavours and a filling meal!

Dine with the Stars
A true Edmonton classic that blends European charm with heartfelt hospitality. Warm service, timeless recipes, and authentic ambiance make every visit memorable. Be bold and flip your chair for a surprise — you might just find yourself dining among the stars. Let us know who you discover, won’t you?
–– For those who enjoy the full experience ––
Experience one of Edmonton’s true cultural dining landmarks — Bistro Praha — where the owner’s presence, timeless recipes, and inviting ambiance create a uniquely European dining escape in the heart of the city. Recipes refined over generations have been lovingly passed down from Eastern European grandmothers’ kitchens to your table today. The setting is bright, the service warm, and the artwork, music, and décor come together to create an authentic, culturally enriching experience that feels both inviting and elevated.
If you’re feeling adventurous and want a touch of glamour, mystique, and intrigue, be bold and turn your chair over — yes, you heard right — to check the underside of your seat. You might discover you’ve been dining among some of Edmonton’s, Canada’s, and the World’s icons. It’s a magical feeling — the moment when the past meets the present and you realize you’ve shared a seat with greatness, a connection that spans generations through a shared love of food, culture, and story.
A few famous signatures you can discover — and we’re looking forward to returning to find more:
- Leon Draisaitl — Edmonton Oilers NHL star and local favourite. - Tommy Banks — Edmontonian, Albertan, Canadian jazz pianist, international icon, and former senator. - Joni Mitchell — Famed singer-songwriter with Albertan roots. - Kirk Douglas — Hollywood legend known for film classics.
A timeless local gem where history, hospitality, and heritage meet — and where every visit feels like stepping into a story.

I had the arctic char dish. It was quite lovely (but perhaps ever so slightly overcooked🙃) along with the potatoes and sald. Perfect amount of that oily taste without being too overwhelming. Seasoning on the potatoes and mushrooms was spot on!
I'll be back to try the steak tartare next 😄

Amazing food and quality service!!! We booked a reservation and the waitress seated us at a nice table that was in the corner.
She gave us great recommendations on food and checked in us multiple times. The owner also came to see how we were doing. We sat and talked for a long time but they allowed us to feel comfortable and have that privacy.
The food itself was amazing. We loved the beef tartar and the fish. The fried mushrooms was also delicious.
Would come back again to try other dishes as well!

Meh. The food was bland and dry. The escargot was served in oil instead of butter, the bread served with it was tough and dry. It was disappointing. For the meal, I ordered smoked pork chop and it came with choice of pan fries or potatoes salad. The pan fries and the pork chops were very dry. Service was okay.

We had moved to Edmonton six months before they opened. It was in 1977. I hope to go there again some day. Perhaps I will do that on their 50th Anniversary.
