Prague Medieval Dinner Show Times

U Pavouka’s medieval dinner show starts at 4:30 PM or 8:00 PM, every day. The 4:30 PM sitting is the 3-course dinner, its options titled “Starts at 4:00 PM”, booked as 2 hours; the 8:00 PM sitting is the 5-course dinner, titled “Starts at 7:45 PM”, booked as 3 hours. The afternoon was per person from US$71 (checked November 2026) and the evening US$88.20, with free cancellation up to 24 hours before.

The calendar shows the price and the open sittings for the date you pick. The venue’s own site gives the same two times: “every day: 16:30 or 20:00”.

The two sittings

Prices on 19 and 26 November 2026, 20 January and 24 March 2027, read in November 2026. The booking options are titled “Starts at 4:00 PM” and “Starts at 7:45 PM”, while the starting time you book is 4:30 PM or 8:00 PM, so arrive from the earlier time. The show is billed at 2.5 hours in both sittings. One reviewer who paid for three hours was asked to leave after two and a half (9 November 2026), so plan on the show’s length rather than the booking’s.

For children, the afternoon is the easier choice: they eat the fixed 3-course chicken menu for ages 4 to 12, and it is over by early evening.

Christmas and New Year’s Eve 2026

The holiday dates have their own ladder. In the booking calendar on 11 November 2026, for one adult:

On Christmas Eve the afternoon sitting becomes a 5-course dinner, still from the same six menus. On New Year’s Eve the one option is “New Year’s Eve All You Can Eat and Drink”: titled “Starts at 7:45 PM”, booked from 8:00 PM, 4 hours with unlimited wine, beer and soft drinks, a welcome drink of honey wine and a midnight toast, with free cancellation until 30 December. U Pavouka’s own site prints no Christmas programme.

U Krále Brabantského’s Christmas menu runs from 18 December to 5 January: all you can eat with unlimited drinks for 2,600 CZK a person (about US$120), or 2,290 CZK with two drinks (about US$106), with its show from 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM, reserved by e-mail. Its New Year’s Eve party on 31 December is 5,000 CZK for an adult and 4,000 CZK for a child (about US$230 and US$184), from 7:00 PM with the show from 7:30 PM to midnight. Figures from its site, read 11 November 2026, converted at the Czech National Bank rate of 10 November and rounded; confirm the dates when you reserve.

U Krále Brabantského’s times

U Krále Brabantského runs its show Tuesday to Sunday from 7:00 PM; its three packages, at 1,490, 1,800 and 2,390 CZK a person, all run from 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM. The tavern itself opens every day from 11:00. It has no Monday show and no afternoon sitting, so on a Monday, or with children who need an early night, U Pavouka is the one that runs. U Pavouka or U Krále compares the two.

Getting there on time

U Pavouka is at Celetná 597/17, 335 m on foot from Old Town Square, about four minutes. Arrive from the time in the option title (4:00 PM or 7:45 PM), not at the show time: one reviewer found the queue at the entrance confusing, with nobody at the back to say which line was for bookings (28 October 2026). Where is U Pavouka has the walk.
