There are numerous options for lunch around the IWHSS23 location. These restaurants typically provide lunch menu options at affordable fixed-prices (under 10 EUR). However, in many cases these menus (called 'Poledni menu') are not translated into English, unlike regular menu with higher prices. The lunch menu is typically listed daily or weekly on their web pages, so you can use google translate or ask the server for help. No reservation is needed.

Giving tips
The tips are not included in the bill and tipping in Czech restaurants, cafés, and bars is common practice. The staff is pretty much dependent on tipping as their salaries are usually quite low. If you are satisfied, it’s polite to leave about 10 %. Usually, one rounds up the bill, for example when the price of your meal is 363 CZK and you have 500 CZK notes, just say you want to pay 400 CZK. If you pay by card you can leave your cash tip in the bill holder or say you would like to pay more and the waiter will increase the price in the card terminal. We never leave tips right on a table.
