Best Chlebíčky in Prague

**Chlebíčky** are artfully decorated open-faced sandwiches that are the centerpiece of Czech social gatherings and celebrations. They consist of a thin slice of baguette-like bread (*veka*) topped with a variety of spreads (potato salad, lobster salad, or beet mousse) and elegantly garnished with deli meats, hard-boiled eggs, pickles, and fresh herbs. The secret to a great Chlebíček is the ratio of topping to bread and the freshness of the garnishes, which should look like miniature works of art. The trap is buying them at generic deli counters where the bread has gone stale; instead, visit historic **Lahůdky** (delicatessens) or specialized sandwich shops where they are prepared fresh throughout the day.
