Slightly away from the tourist beaten path, just back one street from the Vltava and close to Vyton tram stop. This husband and wife team cook up a storm and also know their wines (very good at pairing) and they've created an exceptionally nice, upscale but relaxed dining experience. Expect an interesting cross section of Italian, French, Czech influences menus,... More

We dined in this lovely little restaurant on December 8th 2012. My parents shared a bottle of red wine from the excellent wine list, and we began with homemade bread served with two types of olive oil to dip it in. We shared 2 delicious starters between us -tiger prawns and mussels-before moving on to dinner.We all ordered fish which... More

Our first meal during a weekend visit to Prague was here on a Friday evening in mid November. Waiters were attentive and food was quick to arrive and tasty. As we sat outside the atmosphere was great as the restaurant is located right in front of the astronomical clock and we were offered shawls to keep us warm although we... More

Nice little place with good and fresh ingredients but like most restaurants in Prague the food lacks taste. I had to add a lot of salt and thats not a problem, but you go to a restaurant to get that little extra thats hard to fix at home. We got really good bread and olive oil to start with (everyone...

We found this restaurant using TripAdvisor and based on the reviews decided to go. Although it is a bit out of the way (not in the grand scheme of things but compared to where the tourist center of things is), it was totally worth it. The menus are already on the table and printed in both English and Czech. The... More

My son recommended this establishment to us. Service is good, friendly and knowledgeable. The food is creative, different, a treat for the palate. Try the homemade ice cream at the end. This is not the run of the mill mediocre restaurant, try it. I think you will agree.

This is a small restaurant near the Vlatva river and not far from the center. We had dinner there with our 5 year old and everyone absolutely loved it. She was fascinated by the beaded "curtain" right next to our table and requested that we always get a table there. The food was delicious, the servers were very nice and... More
