A laid back, not too shabby restaurant with excellent food and atmosphere enough to keep diners lingering for cocktails well after dessert. Although a French restaurant, Bastille does produce pasta, Czech and Czech-Mex dishes too. Lamb, pork, fish, mussels, frog’s legs all served with Gallic flair. [...]

The people that brought you Kampa Park went to great lengths to create a genuine brasserie in the heart of Prague. The result is a ‘best of’ amalgam of several Parisian brasseries; a stunning Belle Epoque room with large windows. Specialising in delicious fresh seafood (anything from oy [...]

For a fresh, authentic dining experience, you shouldn’t go wrong at Café de Paris. A small, rotating menu of seasonal dishes means you’ll always get the freshest of the fresh. The one constant is their special Entrecote Café de Paris, prepared according to a secret recipe. Yum [...]

Flambée
Late Gothic vaulted ceilings, a decadent décor, and unrivaled cuisine combine to make this restaurant a haven for the rich and famous, a place that no gourmet can resist. Chef Dušan Jakubec has taken gastronomy to new heights with his sumptuous creations. The foie gras and glazed rabbit leave you craving more, yet indulgence is not complete without giving into the sensuality of the vanilla creme brulée. [...]

The personal touch is all important at this wonderful addition to the Prague dining scene. The kitchen, the wait staff and the owner make diners feel suitably important for the calibre of the cuisine and the superlative wine list. Daily blackboard specials, such as soup, foie gras and fresh fish, join the succulent veal, beautifully caramelised salmon and sinful desserts among others on their well-chosen card. A couple of non-culinary points: the décor needs uplifting and dishes could arrive hotter at the table. [...]

The ambience of this 100% antique, turn-of-the-century dining room is shabbily aristocratic, and the clientele seem to feel the need to keep up appearances. It is, on the other hand, the perfect place to ask for the hand of your sweetheart. A favourite weekend brunch treat, the excellent smoked sal [...]

The wooden beams supporting old milk cans and dried vegetation and the white and red checked table cloths lend an old-fashioned country flavour to this impressive restaurant. Although such classic French appetisers as frogs’ legs and escargot are served, the restaurant’s claim to fame, as one might surmise from the illuminated bull’s head hanging outside, is Charolais beef. Fantastic atmosphere, great service and even better food make reservations essential most evenings. Print out a 10%discount card from the website. [...]

This is one of those restaurants that many acknowledge is a must-do in Prague as it has the reputation of the best French cuisine in the city. The pedigree is long, the restaurant was given three stars by an otherwise difficult to please King Rudolf II - in 1544, if you ple [...]
