The 3 Best Desserts You Should Have In Prague

[@pedrostormrage]

0:24 Bonus Czech words: "cukr" means "sugar" and "-ář" is a suffix used to create agent nouns (indicating a person's profession), so "cukrář" means "confectioner/candymaker". A confectioner's shop (8:45) would be a "cukrárna" ("-árna" denotes a place where an activity happens). Also, thanks for the video (I'm very partial to sweets, so discovering/learning about new ones is always a treat)!

Oh great. So Czech is logical rule based language. I can say bota (a shoe) and botář (shoemaker) and botárna (shoe shop). Hey just kidding...

[@d.6593]

Yeey love such comments❤

[@pedrostormrage]

@ There is a grain of truth in every joke (and you made an interesting point, so I thought I'd discuss about it anyway)! Every language has a set of rules and a varying degree of exceptions (fun fact: Esperanto is a language created to minimize the number of exceptions, and it is known for ts extensive system of derivation, where prefixes and suffixes may be freely combined with roots to generate words), but I'd argue rules have value even considering the exceptions. If a language has too many exceptions then the generative (word-forming) value of rules decreases, but even in that case rules might still be useful. For example, even though "shoemaker" in Czech is "obuvník/švec", and a "shoe shop" is "obchod s obuví/obuvnictví", a Czech speaker would probably be able to understand what a beginner Czech student means if they say something like "botář" or "botárna" (even if they're not actual words). Especially for us non-native speakers, the real value that rules have (even considering the exceptions) is analytical (which helps both understanding new words and memorizing their meaning). For example, if you know that "cukr" means "sugar" and that "-ový" makes adjectives, then it's easy to guess what "cukrový" means if you happen to see that word (that's the main reason why etymology and breaking down words into their components is normally useful in language learning).

[@F_A_F123]

Fun fact: this suffix (both on its own and in -árna (I don't know if -árna is considered a single suffix or not)) is borrowed from Gothic (borrowing happened in Proto-Slavic period) and it's the same thing (both by meaning and by origin) as the English's suffix -er

[@mikr2d2]

@ Oh yes, it`s very logical and very simple. Actually it`s imple like that => 😉😆 shoe = Bota / shoes = Boty (pronounciation : Botta / Botty) Shoemaker = Baťa (pronounciation : Batja) 😅🤣😂😅🤣😂 Shoe shop = Baťa (pronounciation : Batja) 😅🤣😂😅🤣😂

[@technojunkie123]

As someone who’s gone to Paris just for desserts this was EXACTLY the type of video I needed for Prague ❤

[@Abhidoesfirestuff]

And I need to know where to have desserts in Paris

[@heersyal2454]

This is exactly what I thought of Prague during this vlog! 😋

[@CK8smallville]

Oh and here I thought I was the only nutter who went to Paris for dessert (from Oz)!! Im going to Czechia in December and looking for dessert places to go to!!

[@AnotherSwissYoutubeUser]

We love when Honza gets screen time in the video. 🤩

[@tipi8340]

Did Janek talk about "girlfriend" in one of videos? I thought he's with Honza? 🤨

[@markmark2002]

I was in Prague last week with my partner and took your advice and visited Cukrar and had one of those Czech Venecek cakes. I agree with you that it was absolutely delicious. Thank you for all your KZbin guides. It was a fantastic city to visit. Watching your videos beforehand definitely enhanced our experience.

[@i.b.818]

I visited Prague two weeks ago and almost all we did was check out your tipps. It was a GREAT week!! Thanks so much for your amazing work ❤

[@skm21]

After watching your videos for a while I finally went to Prague this month. I found Aux Merveilleux De Fred by chance. I went there 3 times on my 5 day trip! Can’t wait to,go back 😊

[@czechdronepilot7201]

The continuity talking about Sia and then going somewhere with a chandelier 👏😁

[@jeoandjohi]

In Prague now. Im so thankful for your video, went to Cukrar and also ordered the salted caramel dessert. Was awesome!!

[@Lord_Reset]

In Prague right now, thanks for all the help!

[@liz5100]

Your videos do actually make me want to go to prague one day. I'm saving money to build my house, but after that oh man I want to go. It's amazing what one guy being honest can do instead of the millions prague probably spends in tourist ads.

[@MartinWalsh-x9b]

Hi janek and honza, apologies if my spelling is wrong, I'm going to visit your beautiful city next week for 4 days, your you tube videos are extremely helpful, as I'm travelling on my own, and looking forward to seeing the many wonderful sites,

[@10jpmorgan]

I seldom eat pastries, (I’m fat enough already!), but when I go to Prague, I make an exception! That chocolate cube looks heavenly! Once, I tried something called “čara”. (I’m probably spelling it wrong.) It was chocolate cream on a solid, vanilla cake bottom, and it was all covered by a chocolate shell. MMMM! This was in a little neighborhood convenience shop/delicatessen called Apetit in the Dlouha street. They have a couple of tables. No fancy trappings, but a good place for lunch at very reasonable prices.

[@heersyal2454]

That's always the best kind of place to choose to eat in any city!

[@SonnyCrockett95]

Here in Belgium we have Aux Merveilleux de Fred in every major cities, I had no idea it was a thing in Prague. Definitely my favourite patisserie

[@IsaacT704]

As a person who is going to Prague in two weeks, I happened to notice the first location (Cukrář Skála) will be just around the corner from my hotel - what a pleasant surprise!

[@BarbaraJohn92]

Volte plaisir is my favorite ❤❤❤

[@petert8931]

Just in time to grab some amazing desserts before flying out this morning. Thank you for making an already amazing trip some even brighter ❤

[@FlameEmber]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ this is my favorite episode 😅😅 I lovvvee sweets. I needed this episode very much. Perfect sugar rush to power a day of walking around Prague ~

[@PortageurCa]

Oh wow. And I thought there couldn't be more reasons to visit. Bumping Prague up on my list. Thanks!

[@tomatom5496]

Nejraději mám indiánka a bombičku, ale tohle vypadá fakt hodně dobře. Určitě někdy vyzkouším! Pokračujte dál v dobré práci, držím palce!❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎

[@AnotherSwissYoutubeUser]

As a guy who works at a swiss bakery that also offers pastries, all 3 of these spots are on my Prague got to go list.

[@N0d4_]

Im visiting Prague end september, and now I HAVE to visit this place!!!

[@tux23]

I'm at Cukrar right now having the same 2 desserts you ordered and they are delicious. This place is also very cool... Thanks for the recommendation.

[@tzovanni8200]

I’ve been to Prague twice back in 2016 and 2018 and I hate myself for not knowing your channel back then… 😢😢😢

[@paulehd]

WOW my mouth is watering

[@Estelle0dcma]

You nailed the French pronunciation of Aux Merveilleux de Fred! Thanks for those addresses, even if I don't have a sweet tooth I will definitely give it a try.

[@Travel_Seekers77]

What does the restaurant name mean in French?

[@Estelle0dcma]

​@@Travel_Seekers77 It could be translated by "To Fred's Marvels". In fact Merveilleux is a cake (see the two small white and dark chocolate cakes at 3:22).The merveilleux (marvelous) is a small cake that originated in the North of France. It consists of a sandwich of two light meringues welded with whipped cream which has been covered with whipped cream and dusted with chocolate shavings. Now you can find some fancy dusting like pistachios.

[@geonunez]

jejejeje I don't know why I still watching videos about Prague, don't get me wrong I enjoy your content but it is funny that a already visited Prague and I'm still watched what do I've visited or missed. This one, I missed it! 💔

[@stephenrmunday4869]

A true professional pastry shop!

[@nofunsir]

hele kluci, I was wondering if you could try a video or two with Czech dubbing. Your understanding of English is quite valuable to those learning both Czech and English.

[@carnifaxx]

they have a second channel Kluci z Prahy, where the content is the same, but in Czech

[@breadmachine_official]

0:22 "Cukrář" sounds like "Cukrász" in Hungarian and it means the same thing. Funny thing

[@Enforcedcraft]

well in German it's Zucker and in your neighbour country it's secer while give or take is about same.

[@toruvalejo6152]

Hungarians borrowed many words from other nations (mesárosz, ebéd, macska etc.) - and the other way arround (guláš, vidiek, kočár)...

[@Nixx0912]

Living in France for years now this looked so familiar, I just wonder how are the sugar levels compering to here. My slavic polish palette finds some of the pastries a little too sweat sometimes and I wouldn't mind a toned down version. The chocolate brioches are lovely thing, but I miss jagodzianki.

[@paisleybuddie5096]

Well done for saying football and not soccer. Far too many non-native speakers use American English instead of actual English.

[@paisleybuddie5096]

@brake_4_cake No such thing as "British " English. Its never been "soccer" in the UK, Association FOOTBALL.

[@DK-vn7lr]

I just got home from Prague on Friday, and I'm ready to go back

[@Akzcer]

4:31 - "Ty vole" translated as "dude" hm... 😂 Great places! Definitely I'll go check it out.

[@toruvalejo6152]

Ten překlad je v pořádku - překládá se obsah, ne forma. ;)

[@AnotherSwissYoutubeUser]

2:35 The greatest Quote in the History of this channel

[@BleujetRBLX]

Honza is such a W

[@robertmaxa6631]

The dessert at 8:20, looked really yummy.

[@jaxirraywhisper741]

I would just recommend hand made větrník from the any café / sugra bistro nearby and tourists are all set.

[@larsiparsii]

Wish I had seen this video while I was living in Prague 😭

[@combatwarriors8535]

Hey honest guide i saw the last time you were live was 2 years ago do you think you could go live soon I would love to watch keep up the good work😁👍💜

[@ReniaEu]

Szkoda, że nie znałam tych miejsc wcześniej 😊

[@toruvalejo6152]

Świetna okazja, aby ponownie i lepiej odwiedzić Pragę. 😉

[@ReniaEu]

@@toruvalejo6152 nie kuś ;)

[@christinamoneypenny3809]

You don’t like trdelnik. Understand, If all I’d ever gotten was the street trdelnik, neither would I , but my daughter and I got one in the Jewish quarter, near the alley market, that was TREMENDOUS! They add chocolate, gelato, maybe whipped cream, with a cherry on top. We shared it because it was huge, fresh and SO DELICIOUS! My mouth waters just remembering it.

[@nejcpilih]

business trip to Prague in good month i hope, so definitely checking out some of these places, next to pivovar 😅 also, the money-scammer joke 😂

[@izengolf1]

I have celiac disease and couldn't make myself watch this one! Luckily Prague has some good gluten free restaurants and bakeries I can try when I'm there this fall 👍

[@Sara-hk2vx]

I will be there in October! Thank you for the tips 😊

With all due respect, all of those are great but Kolač is where its at :D If we could we would travel to Prague often just to get those xD

[@hassanalihusseini1717]

You made these pastries really very attractive. I am not a fan of sweets, and especially if somebody tells me it contains caramel I am running away faster than Usain Bolt. But these places seem to have delicious things.

[@MaybeSei]

I wonder what's more illegal, going over the legal dose of sugar or scamming less than 425 Euros.

[@FlameEmber]

😂😂😂😂 I can't think of a response. This comment is really savage in the best way.

[@hsr.babY123]

In Prague, the latter. Arrest these honest guides at once. 😂😂

[@sharonbennett3318]

Good advertising for the bakery. I am going there when i visit sep. closed to my hotel. How not so sweet

[@ADAtrips]

🎉Fantasic 🥳. I’m coming! 🌴🌴Aloha

[@Dude-etiquette]

OMG this looks delicious

[@HakanMB]

Who cut the video at @8:24 ?! We want to know if it was worth coming back for that dark chocolate cube!

[@TheSalosful]

Exactly. I wanna hear the review.

[@HONESTGUIDE]

Heheh, we decided to keep some mystery so you can try for yourself (but okay, since you asked? Oh my it was...)

[@oliverpohlproductions8291]

I always love sweet/Chocolate bread.

[@pro-on6wq]

Great video idea!

[@mikiqex]

Well, I'm afraid that the ice cream-filled trdelník is a truly iconic dessert for Prague, much like how the UK has its iconic Chicken Tikka Masala. I'm wondering if it's a thing anywhere else in the world.

[@kevin-n3t9d]

in prague today 26/10/24 omg great recommend on cake

[@Mouselips1]

Thank you for these videos! Any chance you would create a video about night clubs? :)

[@robertopesenti1173]

A nice video!

[@ewed418]

Not once in 13 years of Czech Republic I was offered anything by the restaurateur. Never never and ever. While in some countries it’s usual to throw a shot, or a small cadeaux on the house, the lady giving something “on the house “ feels more like science fiction than an honest guide.

[@igalmovermakher1449]

@honestguide Thanks for cool videos, guys! Do you plan to make a review of interesting and charming places outside the city center Prague-1 ? Like Vinohrady, Riegroyy sady, nice spots of Prague 6, Karlin, maybe parks?

[@mywwwow]

I think I got my sweet craving satisfied just watching this video.

08:17, understand your suffering.... I would go there just because of the way it looks... 😋

[@jaixial]

Do you think you could look for peanut butter? Does it exist there, and how weird is it?

[@EChoroba]

You can get it in every supermarket. Maybe not the best quality everywhere, but it's no longer something exotic. I still remember when I had it first in 1994, I hadn't known it existed before.

[@f4fanella]

CUKRAR ,, it's very similar to the Arabic Word SUKAR which means SUGAR .. i know that the Word CUKRAR in Czech means confectioner .. interesting

[@vojtechhoracek7704]

No coincidence, as "cukr" means "sugar" in Czech, ultimately derived from the same root word in Sanskrit.

[@Nixx0912]

It's more or less the same thing in Polish "cukier", the guy (or a girl) making confectioners is "cukiernik" and the place "cukiernia".

[@sharpsichord]

1:42 First of all, that's not how I sound.

[@kaiwangle5003]

I don't really understand the trdelník hate. Yes, its traditional-ness is perhaps being oversold and like most things in touristy areas tends to be overpriced, but it's actually quite nice and the sourdough makes it a much better sweet treat in my opinion than the diabetic nightmare-fuel featured in this episode. It did originally come from Transylvania, but the Hungarians also brought Guláš and few would argue that's not part of the traditional Czech fare. I don't know how long something has to be around before it becomes incorporated into the tradition, but I would argue the trdelník is well on its way.
