From the Maximilian, Chez Marcel was our nextdoor place to hop at from a day in the city. So we did four days long. Yes, we came back daily because it was nice to sit outside there for a while, the two waitresses were very friendly and helpfull and most of all the food was good. Honest, try as a... More

This will be our third visit to this restaurant, the food and service is superb. Last night the restaurant was busy with at least half to two thirds of the tables full. We were greeted with a warm smile and taken to our table. The food when it came was well cooked and tasted wonderful. Please visit this restaurant if... More

Without a doubt Chez Marcel served us the worse food and provided the least attentive service of all of the restaurants (about 10 of various quality) we visited in Prague! We waited for an hour and a half between the appetizer and the main course. The main course food was awful. My son's pasta with duck had virtually no duck... More

It seems Chez Marcel reads TripAdvisor. A March review complained about smoke being an issue. Now the back room is "Smoke Free" - a positive sign. We had good service; reasonable prices; and good food. The issue - as we finished our main course, a group of 4 patrons starting playing Foozball immediately next to our table. Literally, I had...

We visited Chez Marcel on the strength of TripAdvisor reviews and because it was closer to our hotel, the Mercure, than other recommended restaurants. Chez Marcel is not for a fine dining experience as it is a well used, bistro-style, restaurant with slightly tired and worn decor and furnishings. The food, however, more than makes up for what some may... More

We were really looking forward to Chez Marcel after all the recommendations, however the reality was very different! If you are not a smoker then you are not invited to the party. What I mean by that is that we were stuck up in a corner by the toilets and surrouned by high chairs. The menu wasn't particularly interesting and... More

Had drinks in there a couple of days later and went back on our last night for another meal. Food is well presented and good value. Staff are... More

I traveled to Prague at Christmas time. After stumbling across this unique little restaurant/bar, I was enchanted. The steak, French music, wine and incredible wait staff were great. As a woman traveling alone, the folks at the Chez Marcel went out of their way to be friendly and helpful. I felt as though I was swept back in time to... More

Visited Prague in October 2007 and had read about Chez Marcel being a good place and located in the Jewish district. So we decided we would try to get there for a late lunch on our first day in Prague. The location is in my favorite area in Prague's old city...the Jewish Ghetto. Although we opted for a hotel in...
