Grand Cru Restaurant

This was the first restaurant we visited in Prague and it did a fine job of setting a standard for the level of food we should be expecting. Service and wine pairings were very good, we enjoyed our waiter. The restaurant is in a good location and walkable if you're staying in Old Town. We got Roasted quail, caramelised jerusalem artichoke, celeriac, mushroom jus, Veal tartar, truffle mayonnaise, egg yolk gel, black truffle for our starters. The roasted quail was bursting with flavor, I loved Jerusalem artichoke and the celeriac puree was filled with flavor. Not normally a huge fan of tartar in the states, but here it was so buttery and full of flavor, I was shocked. The veal was of the highest quality. For mains we got Lamb shoulder, lamb chop, parmesan crust, bell pepper compote, lamb jus with fermented garlic and the ribeye with potatoes, chanterelles, wild broccoli, parisian butter, veal jus. The lamb was tender and melted in your mouth, the sauces paired well and the bell pepper compote had a surprising depth of flavor. The ribeye was cooked perfectly medium rare. I would recommend this place, and reservations for busy times is highly recommended. We did the wine pairing with our meal.

My husband and I ate at Grand Cru for New Year’s eve and could not recommend it enough. The food was tasty and the menu was varied. Some stand outs were the monkfish with Jerusalem artichoke and the beef tenderloin. What stood out to us most was the service. Everyone was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Our primary waiter, Chris, was so knowledgeable about wine and took the time to explain to us each wine. We had an early flight the following day and almost skipped the wine pairing, but I am so glad we didn’t. Grand Cru was a wonderful experience and if I am to come back to Prague I would go again without a second thought!

One of the best restaurants I have ever been to. Amazing service, staff were absolutely great! We LOVED it! I strongly recommend this restaurant! We had the carpaccio and the mushroom as starters. But the most amazing dish, by far, was the beef steak, it’s a MUST have! So delicious! They deserve a Michelin Star!

An outstanding fine dining experience in Prague. Grand Cru Restaurant offers a perfect balance of creative cuisine, elegant presentation, and warm hospitality. We tried the tasting menu, and each dish was beautifully plated and full of flavor, from the starters to the desserts — you can clearly see the chef’s attention to detail and passion for ingredients. The ambiance is refined yet cozy, with a lovely glass-roofed dining area that feels both intimate and stylish. Service was professional, knowledgeable, and very attentive, which elevated the whole experience. This is not just a meal but a memorable culinary journey. Highly recommended for anyone looking for top-quality dining in Prague — absolutely worth 5 stars.

Delicious and well presented dishes. Impressive champagne list. The meat was cooked to perfection. Deer with foie gras was very good.

Excellent service and food. I ordered the seasonal tasting menu and everything was delightful. There were also some random freeies thrown in to spice it up. The highlights were the watermelon salad, gazpacho, and scallops. The sald was so so refreshing and a great way to start the meal (not counting the bread). The gazpacho had fresh produce and was perfect for the summer. The scallops were perfectly cooked and seasoned. The lamb was ok. The blueberry dumplings were totally new to me and both looked and tasted great.

Amazing homemade food blending a dash of French, with modern, and Czech. The lunch menu was just wonderful. Highly recommend the wine pairing, as they are very knowledgeable.

Amazing food and service! I went there with my girlfriend for her birthday. They gave us many extra’s on the house, and took care of the candles on the cake.

Started off okay- a bit of an attitude from the servers. Apps were soaked in truffle olive oil. Sent one back as it was not good. Main dishes were OK only- very dry meat, too sweet sauce. The bill came with a $1 discount for dish returned & a nasty attitude. Would NOT recommend. When we went to coat check - the check out person shoved me out the door & said 'if you don't like our food - forget you!' How did this place get ANY star!!!!

Sorta nondescript from the outside... we saw wine bottles in the window, but this place is a keeper! Service was excellent! We just had some wine and share the gazpacho, which was out of this world! The bread they brought... just as a bonus was great too. Great experience!

Great food and service . We were a party of 9 with no reservations. Manager welcomed us and gave us preferred seating . Service was excellent and most important the food was delicious . Our food was delayed so manager comp a bottle of wine and gave us some extra goodies . Highly recommend don't miss out .

Amazing from start to finish! First, the restaurant was adorably tucked away in a little courtyard and tables are fairly spread out (yes we can't forget there's still a pandemic). Service was impeccable and food was delicious (not to mention great value for this high level of skills and ingredients). Husband had the venison tasting menu, I had the kulajda soup, suckling pig, and chocolate mousse dessert. Everything was amazing, including the amuse bouche and bread/butter. 100% recommend and we will definitely be back next time in Prague.

It was delicious, probably the second best place I've ever eaten in my life (the first one being some really expensive french restaurant) Though quite pricy compared to the usual restaurant in Prague, this restaurant greatly compensates by the various savors of its meals... The food are in reasonable quantities, not especially light but also not too much, and you will get out of there with a full belly and still the ability to walk... Would recommend 10/10

A fine-dining restaurant with pleasant calm ambiance and a great wine selection. The service is professional but for me maybe a more friendly attitude would be welcomed. When it comes to food, I have always been very satisfied. The catch of the day is a great choice and so is the meat. I was a bit surprised when they told me they were not sure as to whether they would be able to prepare potatoes as a side....but eventually they did manage. Overall a nice place but there are some minor details that don't make it a 5-star yet.

Grand Cru is a Michelin-star restaurant recommended by the Taste of Prague blog. If you are not familiar with Taste of Prague, you should check their website and blog out ASAP. They are a must-use resource for foodies travelling to Prague. As suggested by TOP, we visited during lunch to take advantage of the lunch specials. We did seem a bit out of place - two young adults in our 20's surrounded by suits and ties. The host seating us was rather rude, perhaps due to our age. Thankfully, our server was top notch. Grand Cru offered a two-course lunch special for 13-euros. The options consisted of a soup or salad to start and two mains to choose from. We were not overly ecstatic about the lunch special starters or mains, so we decided to order a couple dishes a la carte. My girlfriend ordered the Brazilian sirloin steak with pepper sauce, homemade french fries, and an fried egg. Price: $22 euros. Like any high-end restaurant, the portion size was small. However, the quality of the meat warranted the price tag. Lightly spiced and cooked to a perfect medium rare, the meat was succulent, especially when paired with the lightly fried egg. French fries were delectable. I ordered the Chef's Special: Pigeon breast, almond ravioli with cherries and smoked thyme sauce. Pigeon consommé, armagnac and ginger. Pigeon liver and foie gras ice cream. Price: $30 euros. The dish was a bit rich for our taste buds. Cooked to a perfect medium rare, the pigeon breast was the highlight. The smoked thyme sauce and almong ravioli were very tasty compliments to the breast, but overall the dish was lacking flavour. The Pigeon Consomme, armagnac and ginger consisted of pigeon feet in a small soup. It was far too rich... not my favourite dish. Lastly, the pigeon liver and foie gras ice cream was inedible. The meal was definitely a culinary experience. Overall, we enjoyed the experience at Grand Cru.

We stumbled onto this wonderful restaurant after being turned away on a Saturday night from several other, more touristy places. Lucky us. The food here is truly exceptional, and the waitstaff took excellent care of us. The sommelier opened a new syrah for me to go with my deer, which was phenomenal. The foie gras appetizer is magical - don't miss the wine reduction dots on the plate, which add a tangy fruitiness to complement the creamy pâté. The deer entree was also rich and hearty, full of complex flavors that made each bite dynamic and unique. The only thing that didn't live up quite as much as the rest was the risotto that went with the fish of the day, which was far too salty. My wife had no problems with it - as long as she ate it with the fish it was fine, but since the execution on everything else was so much stronger, this stood out as mediocre. I had a tiny bit of bone on the deer, which wasn't supposed to be there, but not enough to bother with - it happens sometimes with game and with food this fresh. I let the waiter know, and thought no more of it. The chef, however, treated me to a delicious tawny port to make up for the bone sliver, which was very generous. For a wonderful dinner where the staff know how to take care of a guest, definitely give this one a try.

Excellent service from the staff and the food was picture worthy, they all came out tasty and beautiful. Highly recommend this place when visiting Prague for fine dining. We had the tasting menu with wine pairing. Best dish was the foie gras appetizer for sure.

Awesome restaurant with engaging staff and beautiful environment. They serve great tasty dishes and superb wines (the sommelier knows his field). I especially enjoyed the chocolate dessert accompanied by port wine. My friend chose to have cheeses for the dessert and he was more than satisfied as well.

We adored Grand Cru. My husband found it researching Prague and we were so happy he did! We went for lunch. Showed up a little late (probably around 2pm) but they didn't mind at all and served us with a smile. We got the two-course lunch menu but got an amuse-bouche to start and Petit fours to finish. The food was amazing. Such attention to detail, interesting and full of flavor! The staff was incredibly knowledgeable and willing to chat about the food, wine, and city. Would highly recommend to anyone going to Prague - a great break from all the heavy Czech food.

Absolutely incredible dining experience. Fantastic food- venison, duck and veal! Fantastic service!! Ask for Tomas. Very efficient and cute! Wonderful time for our first night in Prague. Highly recommend. Will go back definitely, if we ever return to this beautiful city

After having numerous outstanding dinners in Prague based on my own research l relented and took the advice of the concierge at my hotel: Boscolo and had dinner at Grand Cru. l couldn't have been more disappointed! It's hard for me to believe Grand Cru is recommended without some pre-arranged kickback from Grand Cru to Boscolo. Grand Cru is undoubtedly one of the worst restaurants in Prague. First -the venue. The ambience is nice. There is a courtyard which sits in the middle of the restaurant and makes for a very pleasant atmosphere. Second -the service. Terribly, miserably, disappointing from start to finish. The server couldn't explain many of the dishes on the menu. He didn't know, how they were prepared, didn't recognize some of the side dishes, didn't know how they were cooked (i.e. grilled, roasted, smoked or baked) and didn't make any effort to shore up his knowledge or get answers to any of our questions. My wife and l respectfully asked for the manager to assist with the explanation of the menu. Shortly after the manager reviewed the menu we made our selections based on the manager's (Jakuh Pribyl) recommendations. Third -the food. We first received a complimentary amuse bouche: a cold, raw, piece of radish w goat cheese topped with chopped tomatoes. Uneventful, not flavorful and the presentation included the stems of the radish which were wilted. The second complimentary amuse bouche was a diced piece of cold lamb wrapped in a fatty low end grade of prosciutto with some foam on some shredded vegetables that also had no flavor. Both were complimentary and not worth it even though they were free! Our first course consisted of a marinated watermelon dish stuffed with crab and garnished with globs of sauces and mushed vegetables. This is a cold undesirable, uneventful, messy dish which tasted as though it had been prepared weeks in advanced and left in refrigeration. My wife had the calamari stuffed with veal and a ragu sauce. Again under seasoned but so far the best dish albeit better in concept than execution. For our entrees my wife had the lamb chops (on the recommendation of the manager). There were two lollipop style lamb chops compromised of approximately 40-45% fat and grizzle. The lamb was not eatable! Trying to cut the lamb shredded this fibrous grey matter and exposed the fat content. Without question totally disgusting! We sent it back to the kitchen. I had the pork cheeks. They were tender but again totally under seasoned. No flavor, no complementary sides and loads of fattening sauces to mask the lack of flavor of the meat Lastly - the drinks. The wine list is extensive. We however asked for a wine pairing with each course. We waited for sometime with no drink. When the amuse bouches arrived, still no wine. We then sat waiting for the starter. Finally asked for some wine which amounted to a short pour of wine, similar to a tasting at a winery. They said the pairing was a half pour of wine. Which is expensive for so little wine. We turned down any further food or drinks. Opting to cut our losses and seek other dining elsewhere. However despite returning the lamb and opting out of any further courses or wine this meal exceeded $100.00 U.S. Bottom line - the courtyard is nice. The wine list is extensive but very expensive. The food is a miserable disappointment! And don't even consider the wine pairing here. Superior food can be found at: Bellevue, V Zatisi, Cantinetta Fiorentina or Mlejnici. The food at Grand Cru is a disgrace! Not even worth it if it were free. If anyone (i.e. hotel concierge) recommends this place there is definitely a hidden agenda. Prague is becoming a city who's financial economy is being driven by taking advantage of unsuspecting, uneducated tourists.

Great Restaurant- Excellent service. The mushroom soup is the die for. The Hallibut was nicely prepared. If you do meat-this is the place for you.

This place is amazing! I had a seven course special new years dinner with wine pairing. The staff was very nice and friendly and the food was fantastic (except for maybe the dessert which was not that special in comparison with the rest of the dishes). But all in all - WOW!! We got complimentary oysters that were the best I've ever had! And the wine pairing included A LOT of wine - which might feel a little bit awkward at such a fancy place - and on top of that someone in the staff (they wouldn't say who) sent us free caipirinhas that were also delicious! I'm definitely going back here if I'm in Prague again!

When I entered the restaurant for my first time, I was quite shocked that I was the only one there, yet I came at 6:05pm when they open 5 minutes before. Do not let that fool you. Within 30 minutes, the place was crowded with people and obviously for a good reason. The staff was extremely friendly, they kept smiling at me despite seeing me for the first time in their lives. I asked the waiter what he would have had recommended me for my dinner. I got a patté from fois grois, lamb with figs and quince cheesecake. All the meals very fresh, tasty and eye-appealing. The wine pairing we got with the menu was simply amazing! Despite not smelling very nice, the taste was overwhelming and I experienced the most delicious glasses of wine in my life. Since my first visit, I have returned countless times and I am not planning to stop it. It's one-of-a-kind experience in Prague and I wish more people appreciated what this concept has to offer.

The best meal we've had in years. Very reasonable pricing. Two of us had a 5-course meal with drinks for around 55 euro. I recommend the stuffed Guinea hen.
