Náměstí Míru 6 120 00 Prague 2 - Vinohrady
Don't miss this award-winning Italian restaurant. There's a fabulous menu, but you can also customize your own dinner. Choose from platters of fresh fish or steak presented by the waiter at your table—and then tell them how you'd like it cooked (for example, sea bass in salt crust or grilled chateaubriand for three) and choose side dishes. Everything is absolutely delicious, the service is impeccable, and the atmosphere is refined but cozy.
Plaská 617/4 Malá Strana 150 00 Praha 5
Fabulous restaurant in quiet Mala Strana neighborhood. Walls are lined with changing contemporary art. Live music every night at 7. The food is a modern adaptation of original Czech recipes from fresh seasonal products and produce from small farms. Czech wine comes directly from local vineyards. I recommend the degustation tasting menu with wine pairings—five perfectly portioned courses, every one beautifully plated and absolutely delicious.
Letenské náměstí 33, Prague
Gorgeous five-star hotel in former 13th century monastery. St. Thomas Brewery Bar in the cellar (complete with seventeenth century stalactites and stalagmites) serves beer from an early recipe of the monks. Sip an ‘Angel Cocktail’ , inspired by the Lichfield bar’s carefully restored 19th Century baroque ceiling frescoes.
Březinova 22/471 186 00 Praha 8 – Karlín
Bistro Proti is a cozy corner eatery owned by journalist husband and wife team David and Karolina Konecný. A stark white room is defined by a series of black cables which – embellishing the wall behind the Corten steel counter – are functionally attached to the restaurant’s pendant lighting fixtures, while forming a visual grid-like pattern. Clean oak furnishings and marble floors are elegant additions to an otherwise industrial space, which serves an all-day breakfast menu along with light additions such as soups, sandwiches and home made desserts. It's a cozy place for a meal, or have a fabulous coffee and pastry. Highly recommended! Start here and then explore Prague’s Karlín district, which is fast becoming a haven for the hip set.
Jiráskovo náměstí 6 Praha 2-Nové Město, 120 00
Ginger & Fred is located on the seventh floor of the famous Dancing House. The building, which represents a man and woman dancing, was designed and built in 1996 by the Croatian-Czech architect Vlado Milunić in cooperation with Canadian-American architect Frank Gehry. The non-traditional design was controversial at the time because the house is a stark contrast among the Baroque, Gothic and Art Nouveau buildings for which Prague is famous. There's a gallery on the main floor and a bar at the top.
The restaurant serves delicious seasonal cuisine in a contemporary space with stunning views of the river, Hradčany, and Prague castle.
***Don't miss the edgy gastro-punk dessert.
Dům U Černé Matky Boží , Ovocný trh 19, Prague
On the first floor of the House of the Black Madonna. Must see for quintessential example of Cubist design. (The café reopened in March 2005 after an extensive renovation to restore it to the original 1912 interior.)
Rybná 20, 110 00 Prague 1
Fantastic design hotel in Old Town, minutes away from Old Town Square or Powder Tower. Friendly, accommodating staff, and best hotel breakfast I've ever had.
Ungelt Countryard, Tyn 1, 110 00 Prague - Old Town
The Czech Republic is famous for glass and crystal manufacturing. In fact, you will see a plethora of crystal in every souvenir store you pass. Keep walking and go to Material—for contemporary takes on a traditional art. Stunning chandeliers light a large airy space. Striking glassware and jewelry is displayed on blonde wood tables. Check out the glass bead rope jewelry hanging on the wall - unique and gorgeous.
