The Best Restaurants in Praha
Riccardo Lucque's renowned restaurant has rightly received the highest accolades for years for its highly elegant, immaculately presented cuisine. The wine list also deserves recognition. In 2024, it reached 25th place in the "50 Top Italy" ranking.
The restaurant, which is part of the elegant Four Seasons Hotel, celebrates refined Italian cuisine made from seasonal premium ingredients. Mushroom risotto with truffles or tartare with Oscietra caviar - a feast for the eyes! - may also be accompanied by a glass of Champagne.
Super-stylish pizza napoletana and aperitivo restaurant in the Vinohrady district. The dough and ingredients - anchovies from Cetara, stracciatella di bufala from Puglia, mortadella from Bologna - are world class, and you can drink hand-selected natural wines to go with them.
Reopened in March 2020 in a new location - right next to the Mosaic House Design Hotel - the restaurant combines pan-Asian flavours and childhood feel-good dishes with zeitgeist and creative ideas: à la carte or in a four-course tasting menu.
The Asian fusion restaurant behind the Powder Tower exudes opulent charm with its red-tinted dining room and large ceiling lanterns. The menu serves sophisticated hedonism: crispy rolls, oyster nigiri, wagyu gyoza, Peking duck with foie gras.
Based on traditional recipes and techniques from various Asian cuisines, a multicultural kitchen team led by Jiří Štift cooks in front of guests on three floors: from hand-pulled noodles and Peking duck to curries, soups and sashimi.
Chef Tomaš Černy has cooked in the best Italian restaurants in the city. His own restaurant in the neighbourhood district of Dejvice thrives on the personality of its owner and the wonderfully palatable, unpretentious gourmet cuisine.
First-class Czech cuisine on the Old Town Square. Behind the elaborately renovated restaurant is star chef Radek Kašpárek, who, unlike in the "Field", focuses on more rustic dishes such as tripe ragout, schnitzel with truffle sauce or confit lamb shank.
The top-class steakhouse on the ground floor of the National Museum combines the highest level of meat expertise with a unique butchery-cafeteria style. Various cuts from Czech Simmental cattle ("česká stračena") or Přeštík pork are expertly prepared on charcoal.
Strictly speaking, the latest addition to the "La Bottega" mini-empire is not a wine bar, but a bistro. But because it's also a wonderful place to stop for a glass of Franciacorta or a bottle of Arneis and a few snacks, it should not be missed.
This somewhat hidden restaurant on the way to the castle surprises with exceptionally good, unpretentious fresh cuisine and an exciting wine list at really reasonable prices, with a small terrace in summer. The chef herself serves the guests.
The mix of restaurant, wine venue, market hall, store and café attracts a diverse crowd at any time of day. The menu offers a wide variety of delicacies, but it's also worth a visit just for an aperitivo: snacks and a glass of wine.
Breakfast in this class - as a tasting menu - is something you rarely get. But that's not all. In the evening, the distinctive dining room of a house built in 1905 is transformed into an original gourmet restaurant with a seasonally changing five-course menu.
Located just outside the old town, this modern restaurant serves contemporary Vietnamese cuisine. The dishes are based on traditional recipes, sometimes using typical Vietnamese, sometimes local ingredients to add zest and excitement.
Upscale fusion restaurant with Euro-Asian cuisine and opulent, romantically playful decor. The focus here is less on seasonality and regionality than on aesthetics, luxury and exoticism. Very classically influenced Champagne list with large houses.
Located in the Holešovice district, this casual fine dining restaurant serves Czech cuisine with a modern twist, such as kulajda, a creamy soup made from potatoes, mushrooms and lots of dill. Somewhat sterile ambience, top value for money - especially for lunch.
Pub 2.0 with a cozy, brand-new dining room and original ideas. The freshly tapped, full-bodied beer from the Kulturbrauerei Dalešice brewery goes well with the Moravian cuisine, which is smartly balanced between nostalgia and modernity, down-to-earth and refined.
Uncomplicated restaurant with varied Italian cuisine in the heart of Prague. Every appetite is catered for here. The generously topped Neapolitan pizzas with a high crust taste excellent, and the trattoria dishes are also really good.
The pizzeria, which is part of the bustling Ambiente Group, serves fluffy, crispy pizzas baked over a wood fire and topped with a wide variety of toppings according to the original Neapolitan recipe. Tomatoes, mozzarella di bufala and olive oil are sourced directly from Italy.
Formerly known as the Ossegg Brewery, this quaint and high-tech brewery pub serves refined pub cuisine alongside its own pivo: Duck liver pâté with cranberries, kulajda, crispy schnitzel with mashed potatoes.
