Penzion Zámek Drahonice

Once you have located the slightly hidden entrance, you find yourself in a world of fermentation, pickling and preserving – countless jars of various vegetables, mushrooms and the like are everywhere you look. The restaurant is pleasingly pared back, and some tables afford an interesting view over the pass into the kitchen. They source all ingredients from the region and, wherever possible, process these themselves. You can clearly see their sustainability concept in action here. The menu is seasonal, and the friendly waitstaff are happy to advise you as you choose.

This restaurant housed in the long-standing hotel Nautilus, right in the historical city centre, exudes a sophisticated bistro atmosphere that blends the charm of bygone eras with a touch of glamour. In summer, the terrace giving onto Žižkov Square is a real draw. Go à la carte menu or opt for a four- or six-course tasting menu; a four-course vegetarian variant is also available. There is an additional, wallet-friendly lunch menu. The chef's specialities include "Sturgeon & Umami", traditional kulajda mushroom soup and fillet steak Rossini. Tip: Be sure to visit the city's labyrinth of alleys

This small restaurant may be a little off the beaten track, but it's well worth coming here for the regional cuisine. Quality ingredients are skilfully prepared to impart plenty of flavour. The restaurant rears its own cattle, hence the focus on beef – delicious dishes include beef tongue with celeriac purée and horseradish foam, or beef ribs with coleslaw and bread. The interior has a charmingly rustic quality; in summer, dine out on the terrace, which is surrounded by greenery. Should you wish to soak up this rural idyll a little longer, there is also a campsite.
