i will be in prague for shabbos. it looks theres 4 options of restaurants that offer shabbos meals, with 3 different hashgachos.

does anyone have any info that can help me make a decision?

i spent time in prague and i know some inside info on the hashgacha. King solomon doesnt have much of a hashgacha, i know the owner and i wouldnt rely on it. - Dinitz is a community restaurant and i wont go and say its bad hechsher but the mashgiach is a גר and some dont rely on it, not only because of the mashgiach. And chabad has a good hechsher. - Rabbi is a mashgiach and i know him as well and i would rely on it.

As i understand correctly they just moved to a new location , its prob in the same area but it makes sense that the meal is in the chabad and not in restaurant since the restaurant is quite small.

When Rabbi Senter's yeshiva went to Prague, the Shabbos meals were at Dinitz. Maybe call him and ask him about it.

oh , regarding KS, first of all his hashgacha sometimes is expired. ive seen it a few months over due. -
he used to get shchita from Vienna or Bratislava, and now he doesnt and he claims he does his own shchita. - and as i said i know him and hes a sly guy so i would never rely on his word or his hechsher.
besides hes the most expensive!

So it looks like the best bet is still Chabad.

Regarding dinitz- last night when I ate there - it was a good feeling seeing the mashgiach in the restaurant the whole time......

Just got back..

I didn't really check out any other place besides Chabad. Didn't want to chance it.

I did see the owner of King Solomon, and he does look a bit shady.

The Teuda from Chug Chasam Sofer looked real and current, but I heard they only come by a couple of times a year.

The local Rav HaMachshir is a Ger. Don't mean that in a bad (or good) way, just saying.

The Chabad shabbos meals were great.

They just opened up a Dairy restaurant. It is located where the Meat restaurant was. The meat restaurant is now in the new Chabad house.

Both of them have a half decent menu, but as of last week, most of the menu was unavailable.

the teudah from chasam sofer is real, i called them

true, the rabbi of prague is a ger, but he doesnt play an active role in day to day operations of the hechsher. they have a kashrus professional from israel who runs it

Did you reserve the Shabbos meals in advance?
