CHLEBÍČEK (Open-Faced Sandwich)
Soft white bread covered with potato salad or creamy spread, topped with ham, egg, cheese and fresh vegetables.

It’s one of Prague’s most iconic snacks
PLNĚNÁ BRIOŠKA (Filled Brioche Bun)
A soft, slightly sweet butter brioche filled with savoury ingredients like ham, cheese, salads or spreads.
Fluffy, rich and easy to eat — a more indulgent version of a sandwich.
Perfect if you want something soft, tender and a little bit “gourmet” compared to a regular roll.
Czech Creamy Deli Salads (Pochoutkové saláty)
Cold savoury salads made with vegetables, pickles, diced sausage or eggs, all mixed in a light mayonnaise dressing.
Czechs eat them as a quick snack with fresh bread, inside sandwiches, or as a side dish at parties and family gatherings.
These salads are creamy, mildly salty, slightly tangy and very filling.
Every type tastes a bit different — some are milder, some have more sausage, some are a little spicy, and some contain fish (like herring).
If you want to try something truly Czech, taste one of these salads with a fresh bread roll.
