Restaurants, pubs, cafés – eating and drinking places of all kinds – play a central role in Czechs’ lives. For many and perhaps for most Czechs these are the natural places to meet – for relaxation, intellectual debate, discussing plans, gossiping and plotting. Thus there lots of places  with whole range of prices where students can have a meal and a drink.
