A Vietnamese-inspired gem in Prague with casual lunch options

What’s the vibe?

This trendy, dimly lit, Vietnamese-inspired restaurant has twenty counter seats around an open stainless steel kitchen in Prague’s riverside Smichov neighborhood. Two dinner seatings cater to early birds at 5:30pm with a late show starting at 8:30pm. Lunch from 11:30am-2pm skews a little more casual, drawing local residents and professionals from the nearby business district.

What are the prices like?

Eight-course dinners go for around £60 for all diners, and pescatarian or vegetarian versions are possible with advance notice. Four-course lunches run around £20-25. 

What should I order?

It’s all in the chef’s hands, though you can note dietary restrictions with your reservation. Vietnamese flavors mixed with some wider East Asian influences might include shrimp, beef, or pork; tamarind or curry sauces; and fresh herbs or fermented vegetables in various courses. 

What’s worth visiting nearby? 

Take a walk on the nearby Smichov Boardwalk (known as Smíchovská náplavka) to spot swans floating along the Vltava River. From springtime to autumn, independent bars and cafes set up outdoor tables along the cobblestones here for an open-air street party vibe.
