Czech cuisine is very much influenced by the country’s neighbors in central Europe, but a also contains unique elements of its own. There is very much an emphasis on meat dishes, especially pork, but also beef and chicken, and sometimes duck, goose, rabbit or wild game.

Here are some popular Czech dishes:
