Think the usual principle applies here, same as anywhere, check the Trip Advisor reviews before choosing a restaurant

[Travel] Prague advice
- Thread starter Poojah

The Bone Church at Kutná Hora is worth a visit.....bit bizarre but fascinating
Without wishing to sound negative, Prague isn't really a place that has much for children. That said key points from me :
> Old Town is definitely worth a wander around
> Albeit a few minutes the striking of the clock on the edge of the main square is worth seeing
> There's a bar in the opposite corner to the clock that over looks the square that is good for just watching the world go by
> Loads of electric scooters to get around - although most places are walkable
> Don't eat in any of the restaurants around the main square - absolutely awful and a rip off

Two further words of warning to the unwary:
1. Wenceslas Square isn't square - as I found out to my great shame when I went to the Tourist Office to ask directions because I couldn't find it ("You're standing in it sir")
2. Choose your pub carefully, as heavy smoking is still a thing in many of them. The one in the photo below felt like somebody had dropped a smoke canister into it. Zero ventilation. Pity the poor bar staff who have to suffer doing a shift in there. We couldn't neck our pints quick enough before emerging, coughing and with eyes streaming, into the relatively fresh air. Great beer, mind

Old hat I know, but agree a price with your respective taxi driver before any journey commences, we got rinsed some years ago but didnt work by how much until we were back sitting in the pub

Go here to drink beer:

Though given the context of your trip (congrats to your daughter BTW), a proper session sounds unlikely at best.
I love Prague and have been a few times, but not since the kids arrived. Everything revolved around beer before, so can't help with family friendly activities I'm afraid.
