  • Lunch: restaurants usually offer a "lunch menu" with 2-4 choices during working days in 11.00-14.00 timeframe (even if the more choices are usually available after 12.30). The lunch menus are usually visible on http://lunchtime.cz or on the restaurant's website. Restaurants usually do not close after lunch time.
  • Dinner: closing time of the kitchen depends on the place, but usually not before _at least_ 21.30 during working days and a bit later in the weekend. Many places are closed on Sunday.

Typical drinks served in bars: apart from beers, soft drinks, here are some local specialities:
