Fine Dining In Prague | Eating Europe

It might be best known for its rustic eateries and bustling beer halls serving hearty Czech food, but Prague’s fine dining scene could easily rival those of other European capitals. What’s more, many upscale restaurants in Prague tend to be more affordable than you might expect, meaning you can indulge in a high-end dining experience without breaking the bank!

As much as I love the fare at no-frills, old-school eateries, which I often gush about on my Prague food tours, I enjoy something a little more luxurious every now and again. Throughout this article, you’ll find all of my top recommendations for fine dining in Prague, from where to secure the best tasting menus to the must-visit Michelin-starred spots for special occasions.

What Does Fine Dining Mean in Prague?

As is the case with most cities, fine dining in Prague typically centers around exceptional service, elegant surroundings, refined flavors, and fresh, seasonal ingredients.

In many instances, diners will enjoy multi-course or tasting menus, along with optional wine or drink pairings. Because Prague is famed for its thriving beer culture, it’s not uncommon to find a variety of regional brews on the menu, too!

Unsurprisingly, Czech culinary traditions are often at the heart of many of the best fine dining establishments in Prague. As such, you can expect to see creative spins on classic dishes, along with innovative combinations of contemporary and time-honored flavors.

If you fancy something other than Czech food, you’ll also have your pick of venues specializing in the likes of fusion or European cuisine.

Better yet, whether you go for Czech or international fare, you won’t have to look too far to find a tasting menu in Prague for less than €100. If you’d prefer to go à la carte, you’ll likely find even more budget-friendly pricepoints.

Chef Radek Kašpárek is at the helm at Field Restaurant, a stylish but unpretentious eatery offering Michelin-star dining in Prague’s Old Town. I was fortunate enough to sample the four-course lunch menu recently, which was a celebration of impeccable Czech flavors. The first course turned out to be my favorite, consisting of smooth, briny caviar brightened up with grassy asparagus.

Field Restaurant (€90 – €190) – 110 00 Staré Město – Open every Monday to Friday from 11:00 am to 2:30 pm and from 6:00 pm to 10:30 pm, Saturday from 12:00 pm to 3:00 pm and from 6:00 pm to 10:30 pm, and every Sunday from 12:00 pm to 3:00 pm and from 6:00 pm to 10:00 pm.

La Degustation

Putting an innovative spin on traditional Czech recipes is what the team at the Michelin-starred La Degustation in the Old Town does best. Both the food and service in their warm, sophisticated dining room are second to none. The highlight for me was the trout, which came with a zesty tomato and sour cream sauce, accompanied by a glass of citrusy Portuguese white wine.

La Degustation (€120 – €190) – 110 00 Staré Město – Open every day from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm and from 6:00 pm to 12:00 am.

Coda Restaurant

Head to Chef Igor Chramec’s Coda Restaurant in Malá Strana, a swanky, vintage-inspired spot, to tuck into some sublime modern Czech creations. I opted to try a selection of à la carte menu items, including the oh-so-savory marinated duck breast. Each mouthful was full of rich, gamey flavors, which were enhanced by the addition of crispy potato pancakes and tart apricot.

Coda Restaurant (€120 – €180) – 118 00 Malá Strana – Open every day from 12:00 pm to 11:00 pm.

V Zátiší

V Zátiší in the Old Town is one of the most romantic restaurants in Prague, boasting sleek furnishings, an intimate atmosphere, and moody lighting. Chef Daniel Bureš and his team prepare a delightful range of dishes that blend Czech and international flavors and techniques, best showcased in their five-course tasting menu. The intensely creamy foie gras parfait was a particularly memorable dish.

V Zátiší (€80 – €135) – 110 00 Praha 1 – Open every day from 11:30 am to 3:00 pm and from 5:00 pm to 11:00 pm.

Grand Cru

Grand Cru in the New Town is a must-try place for fine dining in Prague, with its inviting, brick-clad dining room and relaxed ambiance. Chef Svatopluk Hemmer combines Czech and Mediterranean traditions, with some incredibly tasty results. I came here for their two-course lunch menu, and have been raving about the sweet, tender scallops with a refreshing carrot and passionfruit velouté ever since.

Grand Cru Restaurant (€30 – €115) – 110 00 Praha 1 – Open every day from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm and from 5:30 pm to 11:00 pm.

Best Tasting Menus in Prague

Tasting menus in Prague can vary substantially between establishments, but most follow a somewhat similar format. Some feature just five or six thoughtfully prepared dishes, while others may have upwards of ten delicious plates. In either case, either the chef or a member of staff will explain each course in detail upon serving.

Such menus typically change with the seasons to incorporate the freshest, highest-quality ingredients. Depending on the venue, there may be a single tasting menu or variations to accommodate specific dietary needs, such as vegetarian or vegan options.

For a more complete experience, you may wish to add on a wine pairing. Some restaurants have a curated wine list specifically designed for their particular tasting menu, while others offer both classic and premium options.

As you might expect, the prices tend to reflect the number of courses, though it’s worth keeping in mind that this isn’t always the case. You can sometimes enjoy luxury dining in Prague for less than €50, though many will come in at a little less than €100. That said, tasting menus at select restaurants, such as Michelin-starred spots, can set you back significantly more.

Tips for a Perfect Fine Dining Experience in Prague

Always check the dress code in advance, as many restaurants require formal or smart casual attire.
Reservations are highly recommended, especially if you’re visiting in a group.
If no service charge is added to your bill, it’s common to add a 10% tip.
If you have specific dietary requirements or are planning to visit with children, it’s best to contact the restaurant ahead of time to confirm if they can accommodate your needs.
