Valečská pálenice

This elegant restaurant done out all in white and with a beautiful high groin-vaulted ceiling is truly chic – you would never guess this space was once the château's stables. In the open kitchen, Jan Knedla and his team prepare a set menu comprising six, eight or 10 courses. Inspired by the chef's childhood, the dishes lean towards regional ingredients and are presented in a modern and creative style. Seats at the Chef's Table promise interesting glimpses of the action. Service is friendly and professional; the chefs mostly serve the dishes themselves and explain the idea behind them. They off

It's no wonder this delightful restaurant in the city centre is a favorite among locals. The vibe is rustic and vibrant, the staff are exceptionally friendly and attentive, and the food is top-notch. Using select ingredients, the kitchen team delivers a contemporary take on Czech cuisine that is down-to-earth and packed with flavour. Signature items such as charred cabbage and short ribs are not to be missed. There is also a solid wine selection. In summer, the lovely covered terrace out front beckons.

Hotel Blauer Engel not only offers lovely guestrooms, it is also home to this restaurant. With 360 years of tradition to its name, it oozes historical charm. Warm wood panelling lends the space a cosy atmosphere, and the old tiled stove is a quaint detail. Added to that is service with a personal touch and very good food – to be sampled à la carte or in set menu form. Lotters Wirtschaft brewery is also pleasant with its rustic-style vaulted ceiling.

Matteo De Carli and his wife Lenka Hermanová have been running their restaurant since 2012 after several stops around the world. The beautiful interior is straightforward and modern, with an open show kitchen and a walk-in wine fridge worth seeing as well as a wine fridge wall.

Make sure to consider the daily specials - the turbot in puff pastry crust, for exapmle, is a delight! Or let patron and chef Matteo surprise you with a 5-, 6- or 7-course tasting menu. In front of the house there ar

Two friends run this chic, minimalist restaurant in a stylishly understated way. Available in a longer or shorter form, their tasting menu comprises creative, well-balanced dishes with a strong focus on seasonal produce and Czech ingredients.

The excellent medium-rare fallow deer also deserves a mention, as well as ‘Lamb, kale, watercress, green tea’. The friendly and attentive front-of-house team, which includes a sommelier, will be happy to recommend an

This iconic restaurant is housed in an attractive historical building in central Prague. From one side of the L-shaped room, there is a prime view of the chefs at work in the completely open kitchen. Seasonality and Czech ingredients are the order of the day and elegant, modern and well-balanced dishes are served in a set menu format. The sleek interior has chic features, including a vaulted ceiling, striking chandeliers and a glass wine cabinet. Cheerful and relaxed service and atmosphere. The distinctive shape of the tiles in the kitchen is reprised on both the restaurant floor and the menu.

Featuring an interesting combination of Nordic techniques, predominantly Czech ingredients and Asian spices from the owner's homeland, the cuisine here is rather unique. The resulting dishes are full of finesse and pleasing contrasts - served in 12 or 18 courses. The location itself is something special: unassuming from the outside, it has a surprisingly chic interior. Upon arrival, diners are first led to the bar in the cellar for aperitifs and nibbles – a distinctive blend of exposed old brickwork and modern design makes for an atmospheric setting.
