Bohemia Bagel is a long time favorite with tourists and expats in Prague, the location off the old town square on a side street gives the place a back alley feel. The atmosphere as you walk in, walls covered with pop art, exhibition posters, and odds and end from Prague, feels like one of your favorite Univeristy bar food places, that everyone tended to hangout at.
One of their staple and popular dishes is of course the bacon cheese burger. Simple, with an excellent fresh meat patty, grilled and cooked to just right. It is served with red onions, ( I opted out from the sweet potatoes fries) and had a side of lettuce with tomatoes and cucumbers. The bun on top, had its white bread taken out to give more room for the meat patty to sit in the bun, a nice touch. The one criticism, and this is the case with many burger places in Prague, the bun on the bottom disintegrated as I was quietly working myself through the delightful combo, of bacon, melted cheese, and a perfect hamburger patty .Something about the bun disintegrating while you are eating your burger, it in many ways kills the moment, as now you are worrying about the various layers breaking up, and falling all over your plate. This is in my opinion an unnecessary stress when eating a burger. As I believe, if you are finishing your hamburger with a knife and fork, it was not a hamburger.
That said, the desserts, cold pilsner, and wooden booths, makes it a great place to eat, chill and catch up with the friends. Restless hamburger gives Bohemia Bagel a 7. Do go to for the extensive great breakfast and brunch options and in summer the tiny garden and patio are a nice escape from the center of Prague
Restless Burger gives it a 6
