Swordfights, jugglers, fire performers and belly dancers between the tables, while you eat a Czech feast with your hands and the beer and wine keep coming.
Reserve a tableWhat the Prague medieval dinner is
The medieval dinner in Prague is held at Krčma U Pavouka, "At the Spider", a tavern on Celetná, the old street between the Powder Tower and Old Town Square. A 2.5-hour costume show plays out around the tables while the courses arrive.
Food and drink come with the ticket: a set menu chosen when you book, and beer, wine and soft drinks poured without limit. Guests sit at shared tables, so a couple or a small group usually dines next to other travellers.
