What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Hospoda U Šimla is praised for its authentic Czech cuisine, good value, and friendly atmosphere, offering a welcome escape from tourist crowds. While many enjoy the traditional dishes and hearty portions, some reviews mention occasional issues with steak preparation and service speed during busy periods.
"Traditional Czech food, also with ‘modern’ taste, what ever you like. I order beef part with special Czech bread. To drink beer and you feel like real Czech. Menu in tree language, also service could speak English and German."
Pawel Zelazowski
"We went there for dinner. Atmosphere inside is cozy and rustic. A little bit too dark for my opinion. I had a medium steak and beer. Unfortunately the steak was more rare than medium. Also service seemed to be overstrained with the amount of people. Maybe I will give them a second chance in the summer months. All in all it was okay."

"It is this time of the season being served before it starts that I‘m gonna serve my clients with the best BBQ of their lifetime.
I am keen learning from other countries and cultures. This here was in Czech Republic where meat and hearty food, including a bunch of garlic, are the focus of each menu.
Indeed, I haven‘t expected a Flank Steak and it was made how I love it. Medium-rare flavored with salt an pepper. You guys made it gorgeous!
