Just below Prague Caste is a medieval restaurant in a cellar.. Lit by candles and an open fire..
The food is always absolutely wonderful (I have eaten here 3 times in the last 12 years)
In English the name translates to "Tavern of Severn Swabians"
and has a Suit of Armour outside the front door.

www.7svabu.czIts just off the main street that comes down from the castle (if you are walking towards the town center and Charles Bridge)
I have tried to post an image but no Joy (think I'm doing something wrong, will try later to get it right
)
I also had lunch in a place frequented by many Workers in Prague for their lunch time meal.
Ceska Kuchyne (Czech Kitchen)
Traditional Czech food and really gorgeous stuff too and mostly HFI safe!
Also the menu is in English as well as several other languages.

Havelska 23/501. 110 00 Praha 1.
(if this like is not working try)
www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Restaurant_Review-g274707-d3163278-Reviews-Ceska_kuchyne-Prague_Bohemia.htmlIt is a 5 min walk from Charles bridge, near the famous clock and next to a street market
so you cannot get more central than that!
Pictures to follow and I will post them on the facebook HFI site too
So in short being HFI is no restriction to travel and eating safe in Czech Republic (or the rest of Europe either really) is not only easy but really tasty, they really know how to cook here!
I will add a codicil here France can be a bit of a problem because they get very "fancy" with their cooking which these days seems to mean adding sweet ingredients in things that not only do not need them but do not benefit form them being added either.
While in France go for the simple foods and Steaks (of course) which will be generally safe.
I recommend traveling with a companion who will not mind swapping their meal with you if you find yours is too sweet.
Although so far this week not had to do that once! I have not found anything that tasted a tiny bit sweet.
I have not taken the safe route of having a steak and fries once!
Only one more day to go
I cannot wait till I can come back again
