All-day breakfasts, Italian wine with salty tartlets, handmade pizza, and pasta, open kitchen with a varied menu you can find this all in one place. My friends often ask me to recommend a place for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, and also to have a meeting over a glass of wine. They are always surprised that for each of these occasions I recommend only one place: La Mouka. La Mouka is an Italian restaurant which is located near I.P. Pavlova, where you can also have a delicious lunch (during weekdays from 12 am to 2 pm there is a 20% discount on the entire menu), meet friends for a cup of coffee with some dessert, watch how homemade pasta is prepared on open kitchen and just take a break from the bustle of the city. I like everything in here: the picture on the wall, light and air, the presence of an air conditioner, a cozy summer terrace, an open kitchen, a relaxed atmosphere, and a bar. I love this place, especially because of its budget and varied menu. It was my next impression after the local atmosphere – well-coordinated menu, with a pleasant selection of simple dishes, each of which,...
“Dinner in the Sky” is an amazing dining experience combined with an exclusive environment, spectacular views, cuisine from renowned chefs, and all of this at up to 50 meters above the earth. A crane lifts the table with 22 guests to a height of up to 50 meters above the earth. When this event first began in the Czech Republic eleven years ago, many conventional gourmets were quite skeptical, suggesting that they don’t need to be hung somewhere in the air to enjoy delightful cuisine. Dinner in the Sky first started when Belgian entrepreneurs David Ghysels and Stefan Kerkhofs devised this concept. It quickly expanded to many major cities across the world, including Prague, where it has been celebrated every September. In its initial stages, Dinner in the Sky was set up in Kampa, before the crane and platform were relocated to Riegrovy sady. This year, it is returning to the historic center along Dvorák’s embankment where a team of professionals, with a guest chef and waiting team, will serve from the center of the table. Compared to last year, the main change is the chef. After MasterChef juror Marek Raditsch, you can enjoy the creations of Pavel Býček, one of the key men...
At this Vinohrady restaurant, Praguers can enjoy food, drinks, and community. There is something truly unique to be found at Martin’s Bistro. It’s not just the food, which is just shy of divine, or the atmosphere – a chic cafe interior bathed in natural light. It’s the people. Martin, the owner, has been operating in the area since New Year’s Eve 1997, first with a bar called Hapu, which he closed down six years ago to open up Martin’s Bistro. The history with the area has allowed Martin’s Bistro to develop a close-knit community of customers and staff. Anna, one of the waitresses there, also works as an IT manager. She started working at Martin’s during the lockdown in 2020. She had just moved to Prague and her job had gone remote, leaving her with few opportunities to connect with those in the community. “I wanted to do something where I would meet new people,” she said, “even though I didn’t have waitressing experience, Martin was willing to give me a shot.” Now, even as the city has opened back up, she has kept the job. “This place is like a family,” she said. “Even people who used to work...

Not your typical Argentinian steakhouse, Gran Fierro puts sustainability at the core of its identity. “We know the idea of the steakhouse needs to evolve,” said owner Juan Cruz, speaking to Prague Morning. “We are not the typical steakhouse where people get stuffed with meat like crazy,” he said. Since they moved to the new location in Myslíkova, they’ve been taking steps towards sustainability, like composting their organic waste, creating awareness about the deforestation caused by the charcoal industry, and many more circular initiatives. Now it seems that the time has come for the introduction of natural wines on the menu. “I was skeptical about natural wines since I heard about them, and even more after trying some very forgettable ones,” Juan said. “But then I met the sommelier and winemaker Igor Corral Carmona. He introduced me to some remarkable wines that made me change my mind. When you discover that a wine made without chemicals is not only good but great, you don’t want to drink anything else”. Juan says that the degustation with Igor is unique, not only because he shares his knowledge with an absolute passion, but also because “he makes you understand what you are drinking....
Following the onset of the pandemic, the restaurant industry had to fundamentally realign itself beneath a new paradigm. Establishments that relied on brick-and-mortar storefronts folded if they couldn’t adapt, forcing local joints to evolve faster than ever. Fortunately, it created an opportunity for inspired, creative individuals who saw what the market demanded. Tomáš, founder, and “chief burger flipper” (as you can read on his business cards :)) of FATFUCK Smash Burgers, is one of those individuals. In December of 2020, Tomáš looked around at what he had and saw an industrial kitchen and a dream of the perfect burger. As the gastro economy demanded delicious food that could withstand delivery and appear fresh on a doorstep, FATFUCK was born. It’s no ordinary burger. Tomáš had a vision, and an underlying philosophy: the bun makes the burger. He taught himself to bake during isolation, and after months of trial and error, he had made something special—a bun that defines the Fatfuck burger. It’s a Hokkaido-style milk bun, unimaginably fluffy, soft, and remarkably resilient against the juicy burger patties it contains. The bun doesn’t come into existence easily, however. In the beginning, Tomáš would wake up early every single morning to prepare the...
As raw snacks gain popularity across the global food scene, Prague is getting its own taste of the popular treats. Lenka Goldsmidova started her Len’s Raw Delights snack business in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic. While many small businesses were forced to close and some questioned her timing, Goldsmidova chose to leave her corporate job in the hotel business to pursue her dream. “If not now, when?” she asked, speaking to Prague Morning. Living abroad in Australia for many years, Goldsmidova gained an appreciation for healthy lifestyles and products. Australians were “very aware of what they eat and how much they exercise,” she said. Goldsmidova was inspired by the use of simple, healthy and easily accessible ingredients, which customers “can find in any shop”. While living in Australia, she began experimenting and making the raw balls for her own use. Her handmade snacks use raw, vegan and gluten-free ingredients which she shapes into colourful balls of many varieties. Goldsmidova’s friends suggested her snacks could become a business, and eventually, she took the plunge and devoted herself full-time to the project. While she knows the challenges of making a homemade business succeed, she said “even if I fail, at least...

I met Richard for the first time five or six years ago when he was a sous chef at Bottega Tusarova. His big smile and genuine passion for food made me think he was special. I was not wrong. At AGEXX, Richard Bielik is the head chef of ZEM, the new restaurant of the new Hyatt Andaz hotel in Senovazne Namesti, 3 minutes from Vaclavske Namesti. Balance and harmony and flavors Richard studied at the Hotelova Akademia in Slovakia, then started working in the catering business as a waiter, barman, and coordinator. He moved to Prague and decided to perfect his skills as a chef. He worked at Mandarin Oriental, Augustin, and Taro and spent 9 months in London at Kitchen W8, a Michelin-starred restaurant in the heart of London. Richard’s philosophy has not changed over the years. “What I want to achieve,” he says, “is a balance and a harmony and flavors.” Zem: Czech bistronomy with an Asian twist Richard’s new adventure is truly a balance of Czech and Asian cuisine. The menu has two sections: “Izakaya,” a Japanese pub, and “Czech avant-garde.” The restaurant has a local clientele who enjoy traditional food with a modern approach and are...
