Prague Medieval Dinner Menu

The medieval dinner at U Pavouka comes in two sizes: three courses at the 4:30 PM sitting (soup, a main, dessert) and five at 8:00 PM (a cold starter, soup, a warm appetizer, a main, dessert). Each guest picks one of six menus when booking: pork, poultry, fish, vegetarian, vegan or gluten-free. The 3-course dinner was per person from US$71 (checked November 2026) and the 5-course dinner US$88.20, with unlimited beer, wine and soft drinks and the 2.5-hour show in both.

In the calendar, each menu is its own option: “Early 3-Course Dinner: Pork Menu”, “Evening 5-Course Dinner: Vegan Menu” and so on, twelve in all on an ordinary date. Choose one per guest. Different menus under one booking name sit at the same table.

The 3-course afternoon dinner

The option is titled “Starts at 4:00 PM”, the show starts at 4:30 PM, booked as 2 hours. Every menu starts with a soup and ends with a dessert:

The 5-course evening dinner

The option is titled “Starts at 7:45 PM”, the show starts at 8:00 PM, booked as 3 hours. The extra courses are a cold starter and a warm appetizer:

Note that the fish menu’s cold starter is the smoked duck and turkey, as on the meat menus. The menus were read in the booking calendar for November 2026 to March 2027 dates.

Three courses or five?

Three are plenty for most appetites: reviewers find the mains large, and the afternoon sitting ends early enough for a walk afterwards. Five courses add a cold starter and warm pancakes or risotto before the main, for US$88.20 a person on the November to March dates read, against from US$71 for three (checked November 2026); the evening room is at its fullest and the night ends late.

Children’s menu

Children aged 4 to 12 do not choose from the six menus. They are served a fixed 3-course chicken menu: Czech potato soup, a chicken leg roasted in butter with mashed potatoes, and homemade cake.

What reviewers say about the food

Portions are large: a Japanese reviewer could not finish two whole chicken legs and a mound of potatoes (27 October 2026), and German guests called the portions more than generous. The bread gets praise. The criticism is about the mains: “The meat was mainly bone and fat” (2 November), pork that was “quite hard and chewy” (29 October), food served cold (2 November), and a poultry plate that a chef-turned-guest insisted held two chicken legs rather than duck and chicken (13 October).

The gluten-free evening dinner exists, but the one recent review of it is hard: “The glutenfree menu was a disaster”, with “only one of five courses” edible (25 October, three stars). A vegetarian guest found the food “wasn’t very flavorful” (13 October). Expect tavern food in tavern light, and let the show carry the evening.

Where you eat it

Every menu on this page is served at U Pavouka, Celetná 597/17 in the Old Town, 335 m on foot from Old Town Square. U Krále Brabantského, across the river in Malá Strana, sets out its packages on its own pages: platters of Czech cheeses and smoked meats, then ribs, chicken and skewers from the grill, and a five-course feast with venison in its 2,390 CZK package.

Drinks come with every menu: beer, wine and soft drinks, refilled through the meal. Unlimited drinks covers what that means at the table, and show times the Christmas dates and the New Year’s Eve dinner.
