The 28 Essential Prague Restaurants

"Equally famous for set-menu brunch as it is for tasting menus in the evenings, Bockem is a true gem in the city’s food scene. Part of its charm lies in its unassuming location in Smíchov and its cozy, brick-walled dining room that seats about 20. Chef and co-owner Ondřej Kynčl works wonders with locally grown, seasonal ingredients, helping evolve perceptions of Czech food, even among locals. While the five-course dinner menu changes often, brunch always includes some signature dishes, especially the sky-high souffle eggs Benedict that never fails to impress." - Dan Clapson

"There’s something very endearing about this warmly run restaurant which occupies a house dating from 1905 in a quiet part of town. During the day it’s all about breakfast, but at dinner a 5-course set menu is offered where traditional Czech flavours are given a contemporary uplift; expect flashes of originality." - Michelin Inspector

The 8 Best New Restaurants in Prague - Eater

"Former Cafe de Paris executive chef Ondrej Kyncl is behind Bockem, a quiet respite mere steps away from Prague’s buzzy city center. Set in an early 20th-century building and designed with unfinished walls and raw materials like wood, rock, and iron, the young dining room (with seating for 26) already feels perfectly patinated. Bockem kicked into gear this past summer plating a three-course breakfast tasting menu (320 korunas or $12), with European dishes like croque monsieur and a cheffy take on a classic Czech breakfast, krupicová kaše (semolina porridge topped with cinnamon sugar and ghee). Kyncl’s seven-course dinner menu (1,200 korunas or $51), which debuted in October, embraces a similar mix of European and Bohemian. Expect a modern take on Czech fine dining, with simply plated dishes built on local and seasonal produce, like beets with blueberries and blackberries capped with vanilla-vinegar meringue shards or roasted duck with wild mushrooms, pumpkin seeds, and sour apple." - Kat Odell

From the very first moment we stepped into the restaurant, we were welcomed as if we had been regulars for years. They kindly answered our questions about the dishes and were incredibly helpful. The menus are updated seasonally and shared on their website — but honestly, even if I tried, I wouldn’t be able to describe them as beautifully as they do☺️ In addition to the lovely wine pairings, you can also opt for lemonade pairings. They also have a great selection of fermented drinks that complement the food perfectly. Thank you so much for everything — until next time!☺️

We celebrated my birthday at Bockem a few weeks ago early December 2024 and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We accidentally arrived 1 hour earlier than our online reservation and the staff was able to accommodate us and with a smile on their face. The restaurants ambiance was homey, warm and inviting. Every single course that arrived from the kitchen to our table was absolutely stunning and equally as delightful on the palate. The attention to detail on every dish was something to be noted. Our server Randy made our experience all the more outstanding. He went out of our way to make our night all the more special. He was genuine, humble, and had superb customer service skills. He is amazing at his job and deserves recognition. Randy- if you ever read this, we were the couple who stayed a little late and we kept saying Florida Panthers were going to win the Stanley Cup again! LOL All together, the service, food and everything in between was elite. Highly recommend!

Really nice experience. We were here for a breakfast option, and food selection is unusually nice. Restaurant is small, and atmosphere is really calming. We chose to eat mushroom cream for starter, Benedict soufflé and apple pie for dessert. There is also amazing gin tonic! Waitress told us that its their signature drink, and most certainly it is! Really great taste! Also, information that I would have liked to know is that they serve filter coffee only. Overall, nice experience and I would recommend you to choose breakfast option

From the moment I arrived, I felt like royalty—jacket taken, perfectly seated, and handed a well-curated menu. The mushroom soup was an absolute dream: fluffy, creamy, and the best I’ve ever had. Then came the Croque Monsieur, which was spot-on, followed by a dessert that hit all the right notes. The fermented lemonade? Refreshingly unique! Service was flawless, making us feel like VIPs. We’ll definitely be back—thanks for the fantastic food and for making us feel so valued! 🙏🏻

Absolutely amazing restaurant! We went for lunch & it was delightful. The mushroom soup was full of chanterelles & the octopus was unbelievably tender. The dumpling & croque main courses were also delicious, especially the tender tongue. And the desserts were just sublime. The servers were so nice & the soundtrack was so perfect, Czech hits of the 80s. Couldn’t recommend this place more highly. Make reservations, it’s very popular!!!

What an ABSOLUTE delight it was to have come here! The decor, the service and THE FOOD!!! We ended up there for a little over 2 hours and honestly forgot we had a full day of exploring to do because of how enamored and distracted we were. Every single bite felt jaw dropping only to be outdone by the next dish or sip. Hana was unbelievably kind, generous with her descriptions and explanations, and it was evident the chefs pour into each dish a kind of love and pride that’s rarely this palpable. An absolute must if you’re in Prague!!!

It was a remarkable experience that left an amazing impression of Czech modern cuisine and wine. The restaurant is located slightly away from the busiest areas, in a quiet neighborhood within nicely restored premises. They offer only a 5-course dinner, which surprisingly turned into an 8-course journey: a light amuse-bouche of baked beetroot; a basil tomato starter with tomato gelée and foam; speck with mushrooms; mackerel with grilled bread and a special sauce; tender veal cheeks as the main course; fried dough with sour cream and cherry as a pre-dessert; a mousse of foie gras as the main dessert; and a local sweet porridge as a final touch. We were delighted by the attentive and friendly staff. The selection of local wines complemented the dishes perfectly.

As for the food, it's original, special and delicious. The food here is a bit pricey, but not unacceptable. But just sitting in such a classy scene is enough for me to highly recommend travelers to come and visit it!! Réservation must!

One of my favorite restaurants in the entire world! The fermented lemonade pairing is beyond any pairing I've had anywhere else. I am so glad I booked this restaurant. You must make a reservation as there is limited seating and if you don't, expect to be turned away. I was hesitant to book this restaurant as it was my first time in Prague, going in blind, and it's expensive for local standards - but very reasonable for West Coast US. The staff was amazing, friendly, and made me feel welcomed and comfortable. The food was amazing in every bite. Perfectly marinated, cooked, arranged and presented. I would say the lamb dish was underwhelming compared to the other dishes though. They gave a compliment dessert - which is nice in case you're still hungry and who can refuse more amazing dessert?! The restaurant is in a beautifully built historical brick building. The ceiling design is amazing. It is a place that you can dress up or wear casual. Many guests were dressed very casual.
