"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

"Good food and warm hospitality await in this 1905 townhouse located near the Vltava River and Kinský Garden. The enthusiasm of the team is palpable. The cosy, somewhat shabby-chic decor and the extremely dedicated, friendly and courteous front-of-house team make for a wonderful atmosphere. The food is cooked with respect for tradition, but also with a modern twist. In the morning, everything revolves around breakfast, but in the evening, the five-course set menu takes centre stage – think mouthwatering dishes such as beef cheeks with rose hip, cranberry and truffle, or the classic Bohemian sour soup." - Michelin Inspector

"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

Imagine that you’re an American that just met your Czech grandmother for dinner. That’s the type of friendly atmosphere you will find at Bockem. Oh and the food. The food is incredible. The dishes were warm, a blend of traditional Czech and high end. The staff were so kind, well spoken, and very knowledgeable. This wasn’t just a great dinner—it was a wonderful experience. A true gem that captures the heart of Czech hospitality. Highly recommended to anyone looking for amazing food and even better people. We will return.

This has been easily the best dining experience I have ever had in Prague! Not only was the menu creative and delicious, I happened to pick the lemonade pairing to go along with it and it was the highlight of my meal. Each lemonade is homemade and fermented with different flavors and pair perfectly with each dish! On top of all of that, the service was fantastic! Our servers were, kind, thoughtful, and fun, which really made the experience an overall 10/10!

We really appreciated the warm welcome. The waitress explains all the dishes and takes the time to chat and share her experiences. The service is fast. The dishes are very good and carefully prepared. The prices are reasonable

From the moment you step inside, you feel genuinely welcome. The intimate, slightly minimalist industrial setting (just 26 seats) creates an immediate sense of coziness. The five-course degustation menu begins with a complimentary dish from chef Ondřej – a delightful gesture that sets the tone for a flavourful adventure. Each course is well-balanced, creative, and beautifully presented, making the experience both relaxed and refined. An absolute must-visit!

Delicious food, but unfortunately without any lactose free or alternative options. There wasn’t a selection of teas, only jasmine. Staff was very friendly.

Great, unique little restaurante with delicately prepared courses, simple yet tasty with good presentation. The decor is simple but cozy! We had the brunch tasting menu. Wish we can try the dinner menu here sometime! Great place!

We are beyond happy we paid this place a visit, we had such a wonderful experience. You will encounter very, very high quality food and authentically caring, top notch service. The interior is very modern in a warm and classy way, even the background music was refreshingly casual and helped loosen up the vibe. This place delivers fine dining quality in a really pleasant, tasteful atmosphere without the formal, pretentious and intimidating vibe that places on this quality level can carry sometimes. Will come back as often as possible.

Unfortunately we’ve just had a very disappointing brunch experience at Bockem, food and service-wise. The hollandaise in their ‘signature’ Florentine tasted bitter, bacon tasted very poor and the bread base of the dish was soggy already when it was brought to us - probably because the wilted spinach was too full of water. Needless to say we left 65% of the dish untouched. The hollandaise sauce in chorizo dumpling dish was too rich for the dish and resembled the taste and texture of the nacho cheese sauce from a jar - not sure anyone wants that. The dumpling itself was just dough. When the waitress was collecting the plates, she asked how we found the dishes but clearly didn’t want to hear anything apart from flattery/praise as she got suddenly very rude when the above comments were voiced to her in a very polite and constructive manner. Her response was along the lines of ‘well, everyone else liked it’ and ‘if you didn’t like it, where is it’ - mind you, as mentioned earlier, a lot of the both dishes were left untouched on the plates. We’ve been staying in Prague for over 2 months and we’ve never had such disappointing, mocking and simply rude service, let alone the combination of poor service and poor food - and we couldn’t have expected this would happen in a place that was mentioned in a Michelin guide in 2021. The chestnut soup (mousse really) and semolina pudding were ok but nothing to write home about. The apple cake that comes with a surcharge (not sure why) basically tastes like a mix of baked apples and crunchy cereal which is again a bit far from the level we expected from Bockem. We genuinely hope the restaurant takes some time to train their staff on how to work with customers because we are not the first or only people who were or ever will be displeased with the food. Mistakes happen but it’s how your staff reacts to and addresses them, and today this was handled very poorly.

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.
