Manifesto Food Court for Foodies, Beer and Wine Lovers

Manifesto Food Court is a pop-up food festival that started in 2018 on a vacant lot between Florenc bus station and Masarykovo train station, near the centre of Prague. This area is now in full development and in early 2022 Manifesto moved to 34 Ostrovského Street, near Andel. More than twenty sea containers have been transformed into street food stalls, designer boutiques, bookshops and much more. You will find trendy restaurants, ice cream stalls and hamburger bars here. Manifesto is a happy mix of food stalls where you can eat the seasonal snacks and street food, a handful of stands with work by Prague designers and cultural events.

Manifesto Food Court for Foodies

Manifesto Food Court is fine-dining at street food prices. You will find here some of the best restaurants in Prague, but in miniature. Chefs from famous Prague restaurants prepare culinary delights such as Matteo De Carli the owner of Casa De Carli, Vezeska street 5. He does not serve a three-course Italian menu but snacks and street food. If you want to try Argentinian street food, go to the sea container of Gran Fierro, an authentic Argentine steakhouse in the Vorsilska street 14, for the most tender and juiciest steaks at Manifesto.

Etnosvet Bistro in Legerova street 40, is also represented offers tasty vegetarian wraps and sandwiches. And there is much more! French fries, a speciality from the city of Ostrava, Vietnamese noodle soup and Indian samosas. If you want to try asparagus or beetroot ice cream, go to Angelato Ice Cream stall. If this is a bit too extravagant, you can get classic flavours like vanilla, chocolate and hazelnut.

Manifesto Food Court and Czech Cuisine

Czech cuisine is also represented at Manifesto. A snack that you must taste is ‘chlebicky’, open faced sandwiches spread with potato salad and decorated with a slice of ham, gherkin and egg. The classic Czech dish ‘duck with potato dumplings and red cabbage’ is delicious. Beer is ubiquitous at any event in Prague and Manifesto is no exception. Drink Vinohradsky 12° or Uneticke 10° on tap. Every sea container restaurant serves alcoholic drinks, often from the home country’s cuisine. The ‘bar’ sea container has an impressive list of exquisite cocktails and wine.
