Time Out says

What’s the vibe?

One of Prague’s two Michelin-starred restaurants goes against all the stereotypes of Czech restaurants: it’s not cheap, it’s not heavy, and there’s no gruff service in sight. On a relatively quiet Old Town side street, the arched ceilings, wooden tables, and neutral palette keep the mood mellow and the focus on artfully plated food.

What are the prices like? 

Budget around £85 for a four-course dinner tasting menu or around £40-50 for a lighter three-course lunch. Wine (£60) or non-alcoholic beverage pairings (£32) upgrade the experience.

What should I order?

Trust the chefs. Seasonal menus focus on local ingredients and suppliers and inspiration from Czech cuisine (think variations on pork, mushrooms, dill, or freshwater fish). Portions are light and cater more towards carnivores and pescatarians than vegetarians or vegans, though chefs will adapt a meat-free menu as needed.   

What’s worth visiting nearby? 

Before dinner, swing by the House at the Black Madonna for an exhibit on Czech Cubism, an early 1900s artistic movement filled with sharp-edged furniture, sculpture, and architecture. Beer-lovers can head towards the Vltava River to sample from Loď Pivovar’s boat-based microbrewery.
