From 1917 until it was seized by the Communists after February 1948, the owners were FRANTA and MARIE PAŠKA. Subsequently , the inn came to be known as “U Váhy.” The building stood across from the Steam Mill (now the Na Knížecí bus station), where the City Scales once stood, used to weigh horse-drawn carts loaded with grain.

Our family has owned the U Váhy inn for more than 108 years.

Mr.Grandfather Franta Pašek and his wife Marie purchased the houses on December 22, 1917, with the intention of offering short-term rentals to business travelers and families passing through Prague. The inn also includes an apartment building with the same street number. My father, Vladimír, reclaimed both houses after they were stolen by the communists, and with the help of his wife Melánie, he carefully looked after the house until he was 90 years old. 

In 2000 the current owner Petr Pašek got the inn from his father. He and his beloved wife Andělka want to follow the family tradition and fulfill the vision of their ancestors with sincere love and respect. They want to return the inn to its original First Republic family atmosphere from the time when it was bought by grandfather Franta and grandmother Marie.

The menu features some classic Czech dishes based on traditional recipes, often 100 years old. You can choose from many delicacies brought into the present day by Magdalena Dobromila Rettigová. And it will all be served in period crockery.
