Prague Restaurants
  • Before I head to Prague in a few weeks, are there any good restaurants recommendations that someone would care to share?
  • if you are looking for some good restaurants in Prague i can recomend:
    -Ambiente La Degustation (the best tasting menu ever, 14 courses with a seperate wine chosen specifically to complement the main dishes)
    -Flambee restaurant in Husova street (all the celebs who visit Prague go there)
    -Hergertova cihelna in Cihelna street (great view of charles bridge, the river and the city, amazing food)
    -Ambiente Brasileiro near Staromestske namesti (degustation menu of brazilian meats and fish, all you can eat, food is brought to the table by Brazilian waiters, with chunks of all types of grilled meat imaginable stuck on a sword and then carved of to your liking. My favourite!)
  • There's a Czech restaurant named David in the Little Quarter that is a terrific find. It's very small so make reservations well in advance. The wine list is one of the highlights.
  • I hate to be negative about Prague because we LOVED it but we had a terrible dinner at a highly recommended restaurant and I we never tell anyone to go there. It's called Bellevue. Beware.
  • The Allegro restaurant at the Four Seasons just received a michelin star - it's the first michelin-starred restaurant
    in the czech republic and certainly deserves it - I've been
    there many times and it was always a delight. Few tables
    do have a view of the Charles Bridge (attached). There is
    a summer terrace too.

    Another good italian restaurant is Aromi.
  • I have to second the recommendation for Hergetova Cihelna. The food was spectacular, and the ambience was really lovely.

  • You'll have to ask people in Prague as I cannot give directions (it is not in the centre), but do not miss the restaurant at the Hotel Diana. Great food, especially the meat dishes, at a price that will not make your eyes smart.
  • There's a sidewalk cafe directly across from the clock--part of the U Prince Hotel. It is a perfect spot for people watching. The food is good, at best; the service fair, at best. The people watching some of the best in Prague. They also have a restaurant on the top of the hotel with fantastic views overlooking Prague. Same food, same service but views that make up for that tenfold. Quite romantic on the top as well.
  • Donna Elena recently returned from a trip to Prague and is recommending the following restaurants there:

    1) Zlaty Andel Fusion Restaurant - www.zlatyandelfusion.cz

    and

    2) U Modre Kachnicky @ telephone # 420 257 320 308
  • I haven't had a chance to go to Prague yet, but I'm looking forward to it, thanks for the great advice!
  • I loved this little restaurant we found at the Hotel Cerny Slon right across from the astronomical clock. You went around the bar and down down down the stairs to a landing and then around the corner was the very very romantic restaurant in the wine cellar. Stone floors and exposed brick with wonderful food and fabulous wine. I was so happy there.
  • I am planning a trip to Prague this summer and have been doing some research and found a good list of restaurants on Bombastic Life http://www.bombasticlife.com Now I have tried their suggestions but it looks like a good list. Any one have any experiece with any of them listed?
  • Donna Elena and I are in Prague this week and, before attending a performance of Tosca at the Statni Opera Praha earlier this evening, we dined at the Allegro Restaurant at the Four Seasons Hotel. (We're staying at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, across the river, in Malastrana). As Czech28 indicated above, the Allegro Restaurant was the first dining establishment in the Czech Republic that was granted a Michelin star. However, we were not that impressed. Granted, the restaurant is absolutely gorgeous - exquisitely decorated and amply adorned with beautiful floral arrangements everywhere. In addition, the service was excellent - efficient, friendly and knowledgeable. But, surprisingly, we found the food to be just good - good but certainly not great. The biggest disappointment was a pasta dish that was listed as being prepared "Amatriciana" style. We, of course, expected the dish to be full of the typical spices that make it one of the most popular dishes in Roman cuisine. Instead, it was bland and virtually tasteless - a total disaster. When we inquired what had happened, we were told by our friendly waiter that the chef was Italian and he felt that that was the way it should be prepared. (We subsequently learned that he was from Veneto, not from Rome.) We couldn't believe that answer. Anyhow, the rest of the meal was reasonably good but, certainly not one of the best we've had during our stay here. So, if Allegro deserves that solo Michelin star, we don't think it earned that star based on its food.
  • This evening, we had an early dinner before going to the Statni Opera Praha. (Tonight it was "Carmen.") The restaurant we went to was La Provence:

    La Provence
    Štupartská 745/9
    110 00 Praha 1-Staré Město
    296 826 155

    We found the food there to be extremely good and each dish was delicious and beautifully presented. I had the mussels with saffron cream sauce and they were the best mussels I've ever had in my life, even better than any I've had in Belgium. Donna Elena had a duck dish and raved about it.

    The ambience was wonderful too. With beautiful, dark paneled walls and French charm, if you didn't know you were in Prague, you could easily believe you were in Paris or, better yet, in Avignon or Arles. We highly recommend La Provence to anybody who's visiting Prague and would like to have an excellent dining experience.
  • I found a site that had a good number of reviews for higher-end restaurants in Prague. I was supposed to go there earlier this year but my company cancled all international travel for the year :-( but I digress, check out www.bombasticlife.com and head to the Czech section.

    And have a nice dinner for me!
  • One of the restaurants we dined in when we were in Prague in May of this year was the Francouzská Restaurace, which is an elegant, beautifully decorated establishment located inside Prague's famous Obecní Dům (or "Municipal House.")

    We had tickets for a performance of the Prague Radio Symphony Orchestra in the Obecní Dům one evening and, since the weather forecast called for rain, we decided to eat before the concert at the Francouzská Restaurace, which is considered by some to be the most beautiful Art Nouveau restaurant in the world. Although a good deal of its clientele are tourists, the restaurant did not disappoint. The food was very good (but not great), the ambiance pleasant, the service quite efficient, friendly and attentive and the glitter and beauty of the restaurant lived up to its reputation. If you're in Prague, a dinner in this famous restaurant at least once is an experience that you'll enjoy. (Oh, and yes, it did rain, and we were nice and dry as we walked into the concert hall.)
  • Ok- a little late to post here, but just in case anyone else stumbles across this post- highly recommend checking out this great guide for Prague. Best restaurants & coolest things to do, plus they have really good deals on them.

    I'm biased as I work for the company- but absolutely love the offers. :)
  • I so want to go to Prague. Its sounds so enchanting and elegant.
  • When I went last, I enjoyed a lovely lunch at Kampa Park, a restaurant under Charles Bridge on the 'old' side. If the weather is fine, the views from the riverside terrace are fantastic. The food was great and the selection of wines and champagnes even better.
  • I have made a non refundable reservation and learned I cannot go. the reservation is for 29 nights in luxury Corintha Prague Hotel for 29 nights. 1 person €2365, upgrade for 2 will only cost €9 per night and can be done through the hotel. The hotel gave me an opportunity to choose within the next 365 days and change the name of the guest. If you wanted to go to Prague and are interested please contact me via think_pink@mail.ru, the price is negotiable
