Food scene
This is literally one of my all-time favorite restaurants with exceptional food! I highly recommend the burger with added thick-cut bacon and the duck heart gravy dish.
Wait time to get in Au Cheval can take up to 2 hours but it is worth the wait!! The Haymarket brewery right across from Au Cheval is a great place to wait while having a drink.

This is one of Pilsen's Michelin star restaurants. The food and beer selection is quite wonderful but the service is almost nonexistent. Therefore, I only recommend getting drinks here.
