For more than 40 years, Bistro Praha has been a fixture on the Edmonton dining scene. During that time, it has developed into much more than a restaurant; it has become an Edmonton institution. It is the fulfillment of a dream of its original owner, the late Frantisek Cikanek, who wanted to hear classical music and eat familiar Czech delicacies in a restaurant like those he frequented in Prague (Praha). When he couldn’t find such a place in Edmonton, he opened Bistro Praha. Now, Bistro Praha is the place to go for a warm atmosphere, authentic goulash, cabbage soup, wiener schnitzel, or a range of European-style dishes. Over the years, the Bistro Praha has served the likes of Kirk Douglas and Joni Mitchell. Whether you’re famous or not, you’ll be treated like both an old friend and a valued customer.
