La Degustation

I enjoyed the experience at this incredible establishment immensely. The food is distinctive in so many ways, from the flavor profiles to the presentation. It truly speaks of its status in the culinary world and is well-deserving of that status. I enjoyed the food with the wine pairings while also looking enviously at the non-alcoholic pairings that other tables were enjoying but nothing was left to be desired. The wait staff was helpful and with each course, described the food and wine in amazing detail. The open kitchen is also unique and allows one to experience the creative genius at work. Definitely a top experience in my visit in Prague.

This is for lunch. I was warmly ushered in, and staff, different wait staff and sommelier floated in and out. I was appreciative that they spoke English. The food was varied and innovative. The wine pairing, the first 3 were fine, the fused red and white one - not my taste, didn't do much to the dish, the apple cider with the dessert, again, not my taste. But it's personal. I had a nice time, and all in it's nice to see this type of culinary experience where the food not only looks good but tastes good.

Really enjoyed my meal here especially with the pairing, including some exclusive bottles only available in the restaurant. I wanted to get one of the bottles serviced, the staff helped to call their sister restaurant/wine shop to reserve a bottle for me to pick up, although it was a resting day for the shop. Excellent services. Highly recommended.

My friend and I did the juice pairing with the tasting menu for lunch and were absolutely blown away by everything. The trout is perhaps the best cooked fish I have ever eaten in my life. The entire experience is absolutely worthy of the Michelin star they hold.

This is one of the best! It's a great restaurant that takes the fine food scene and makes it even better. I found the wine pairing to be one of the most interesting wine tastings I've ever attended. Everything was perfect, from the service to the overall experience.

Amazing dinner for a special occasion. The juice pairing was really clever, it’s the first time I’ve had a non-alcoholic option to go with a prefix meal, and I really appreciate that as I’m intolerant to alcohol. They were able to accommodate my friends gluten free diet as well with alternatives for each dish. Came with a bunch of friends and we had a great time enjoying the food and talking about the creativity in each dish. We even came 30 mins before our reservations but was able to get seated and sheltered from the rain - service was super hospitable! Highly recommend.

Almost perfect up until the 4th dish The food in general was excellent especially the semolina porridge, trout, and chicken. However the beef tenderloin was made be a chef who clearly has no one saying no to him. It is a long strip of raw beef with partially cooked egg yolk served at a barely lukewarm temperature (pictured below). It was legitimately disgusting. The presentation seemed to be that of an elevated sausage, which is a good concept that could be executed well, but this wasn’t. The rest of the menu was excellent but even a week after the dinner, this beef tenderloin is the main thing my friends and I still talk about. It took what would have been a 5 star review to a 3 star. My recommendation is that when trying to be creative with food, it should still be appetizing and delicious to the average person. The chicken and trout dishes would be delicious to anyone who tried them. I have a hard time believing anyone would like the thought of eating a steak of raw beef tenderloin with partially cooked egg yolk appetizing. Otherwise the remainder of the dishes were excellent with impeccable service and atmosphere.

Very nice restaurant in Prague Old Town, good service with very knowledgable (UK?) staff. But the food was only ok and not what you would expect from a Michelin star restaurant. We had the three course lunch, the amuse was excellent as was the starter (slow cooked egg with pickled vegetables). But vegetarian main was way too sweet for a main course, and was a wine killer. But to their credit they replaced the vegetarian main with the catfish, which was good. The venison main was excellent. Overall a decent restaurant but with Michelin star prices

We decided to finish our last night in Prague with a Michelin Star. I've been lucky to dine at many a fine restaurant with 1,2, and 3 Michelin stars, as well as many others worthy of such accolades. La Degustation Bohême Bourgeoise has something, I've never had before....a juice pairing. Sure I've seen non alcoholic beverage pairings before, but this is different. The care and detail put into crafting each juice to go along with each dish. Listed as a simple word on the menu below each course, but far from it.... I was curious, and my curiosity paid off ten fold. Wine you can get anywhere....but the time and trouble they were going through to create just the right beverage with each course, I couldn't help think that all other restaurants, I've eaten at....are lazy. Why have we not thought of this before? Sure you think about how a specific wine will balance each course, but better yet...create what you are looking for. Elderflower juice with the Green Peas, Broccoli, and Mint. Sweet botanical and refreshing, it was a pleasure to go back and forth. Tomato juice with the Trout, Tomato, and Radish. This seems obvious but it was my first insight that something special is happening here. The Tomato juice was clear, not red and not thick. It was like a broth with intense flavor but refined as not to get in the way of the dish. I had to ask how this was accomplished, and it sounded like mad science behind it. Steam and an espresso like drip perhaps. Whatever the technique, it was clear, the attention to detail was beyond just the simple idea of pairing juice to each course. Pear juice with Chicken, Bell Peppers, Strawberries, Pasta, was another flavor that would have been lost if added to the dish. But as a sip here and there, reset the palate between bites. Onion juice to go with Beef, Egg, Onion, Mustard. This was the most controversial at the table, but I loved it. It added a bold flavor that would have overpowered the rare beef. The Grape Soda with Cream, Apricot, Rhubarb was fun. It was aerated into our glasses at the table and almost tickled the nose as you sipped it in between bites of your dessert. I never thought I would write a review of an excellent meal that would focus more on beverage pairing, but La Degustation is doing something very different in the culinary world. These aren't beverages, but extensions of the dish that go far beyond where wine can go. If you don't order the juice pairing here, you are really missing a memorable experience.

A Michelin Star no question about it- This restaurant is located in a historical building, few blocks from the old town at the heart of Prague. The dining room is stylish, not too spacious, but the tables are not on top of each other in a quiet environment in whip the open kitchen is the main thing. Our tasting option was fantastic and allow us to experience over 10 Czech dishes. They have food and wine pairing which we declined, but the list of wines offers excellent options. The reservation process was somewhat difficult but it was an worth it. It was an incredible opportunity to dine at La Degustation. The staff was very gracious and the service was impeccable. Truly an outstanding experience.

Michelin Star Review Overall Score 4.8 out of 5 The food was very good. The pairings are on point! Definitely worth going Inside vibe is very classy Staff is amazing Location great

I had never been to a Michelin star dinner before and thought my trip to Prague would be the perfect opportunity. I booked a table for two and was so excited to see that the restaurant was only two blocks from my Airbnb. We arrived just before our reservation and were seated right away at a table closest to the kitchen. My friend knew how excited I was for this dinner so she made sure that I had the open kitchen view. Seeing the process turned out to be such an amazing part of the experience. Watching the team effortlessly and also meticulously plate every dish was such a sight. The timing was impeccable and it felt like watching an episode of The Bear but without any of the chaos. I couldn't prepare a meal for myself at my house that quitely nevermind a restaurant full of eager diners. We each ordered a cocktail when we sat down to take in the ambiance and relax a bit. The decor is simply but elegant and I loved the glass chandelier which is made to look like bones of the proteins they work with. We're not huge on wine so we were going to just get a bottle for dinner, but at the last minute we decided to do the wine pairing and I'm so glad we did. If you're on the fence about this part, I have to say that it was the only time I've had a coursed pairing where I felt like the wine truly complimented each dish. It really opened up my perspective to pairings that are really done well. They also offer a juice pairing as a non-alcoholic option and they sounded so good I would love to have tried them as well. The dinner is five courses, but there are some amuse bouche and some bonus dessert bites so it feels like more. Either way, you won't be hungry afterwards. Every dish shined in it's own way but one that really stood out for uniqueness was labeled simply fish, tomato, ham... I was definitely curious. They glazed the fish with ham juice giving it this unique savory flavor you don't expect from fish, but it was amazing. I won't go into the rest of the dishes, because that's part of the experience is finding out when you ge there, but in Prague fashion, it's a meat heavy menu. As for the service, the entire team was so thoughtful. Their precision and attention to detail really made for a wonderful night at the restaurant. Any question I asked was answered in thoughtful detail and you could tell there was a sense of pride in the product the team was putting out. While this was a pricey dinner, it would have cost double in the states most likely. If you're visiting Prague and want to have an over the top meal while in town, I highly recommend La Degustation Bohême Bourgeoise.

4.75 stars. This was an excellent 1 star Michelin restaurant! Came with a reservation and service was fantastic. Timing of dishes were 9/10 with a steady pace. Restaurant was on a medium size but not too big. There was a bunch of waiters / waitresses which helped keep the flow moving. The most beautiful part was the open preparation area of the kitchen which allowed me to watch them work. I will attach pictures and not name them as it is more about the taste and senses. Each dish has unique ingredients that worked together. Overall, I highly recommend this experience if cost is not an issue (total with tip was about USD $157 for myself, tasting menu, 2 glasses of wine) if you are looking for a Michelin restaurant with great service and high quality food.

Phenomenal meal and service. Arrived to the restaurant on quite a cold day and was immediately greeted by staff ready to take our coats. We were brought a delicious set of vegetables and dipping sauce as a pre-starter and each given a glass of champagne. One of our guests can't drink champagne, so the sommelier was brought over to help her choose a wine to pair. We chose the 5-course meal with the wine pairings and absolutely loved every course. Beautiful plating all around and delicious flavors. The sauces were my favorite--they really made each dish impeccable. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Prague. The restaurant felt very down to earth as well, and an easy place to stop in between sightseeing.

Will return. When I googled Michelin star restaurants in Prague, this one and Field showed up. They close for lunch earlier than Field, which why we went to Field first; ... I left review for my bad experience at Field two days ago. I enjoyed their simply and elegant decor, the friendly staff, the food and the ease to make a reservation. They do 30 lunches and 50 dinners daily, walk ins are fine as long as a space is available. Today there are two walk ins. Visitors accounts 70% of their customers and today English was the language. Two tables round us are Americans. We're 35 minutes early but they seat us anyway. Our table is by the kitchen, and I get to watch them in action. One staff brings a low stool for backpacks or large handbag, placing it under the table. More serving staff than necessary. I didn't see the excessiveness in New York. Bathroom uses hand towels; lotion is provided. But the door could use the switch to show if it's being occupied? As with many similar restaurants, each table needs to have either tasting menu or regular. We opt regular. And the food is plentiful. One thing I picked up is, the chef (I assumed) uses a little alcohol spray to clean the plates / bowls before he puts anything into it, making sure no dishwasher residue. Years ago, at 11 Madison, a New York CFO commented that running a restaurant smoothly "isn't easy". I think I've a better understanding today , and a bit of Charlie Chaplin's Modern Times - assembly line. The open kitchen we see, cooks little - either they done all cooking prior or they've a secondary kitchen that does real cooking. The food ... all are delicious... In the end, they offered us sweet surprise, which is better than the dessert that came with the regular menu. The only complain is, they should use a light color interior bowl to serve, showing off their dessert creation.

La Degustation Boheme Bourgeoise. (@ladegustationbohemebourgeoise) is an one Michelin Star restaurant in #prague. I am astounded at the perfection, and the super efficiency with which the entire kitchen staff works. Most of the time the chefs were standing around, hands folded, chatting with one another. At the precise moment of each course everyone kicks into action and assemble the ingredients quickly and then presents them to the diners. And at 2450CZK ($105) for a five course meal, with three amuse bouche appetizers, and three amuse bouche desserts, this is the most inexpensive Michelin Star restaurant I've ever had the pleasure of worldwide.

The service was great here. It was very elegant and warming. The food and pairing menu was great, each dish had something delicous to try, just such small portions we wish we could have alittle more. We enjoyed the experience. If you're looking for a fancy, romantic evening to try in Prague this place has it.

Innovative and delicious menu, fantastic service and great atmosphere! Highly recommended!

This was the best dinner we had in Prague! Hands down outstanding, from ambiance to dishes with top notch service. Every dish is polished to perfection, texture, balance in flavors, and elegant presentation! Amazing wine pairings and very reasonable price

Worthy of the star. Food is on par with some of the best started experiences we have had. I agree with several reviewers that they shine with food, service and atmosphere... And the wind pairing just isn't as great. Their menu is truly art - the selections made for each course and combinations within each course like the cucumber foam on the first course with tomato. It felt little summer and tasted like heaven. You can tell the difference between true artistry and restaurants that just put truffle oil into everything to make it seem fancy. Every course flowed appropriately into the next with flavors that honestly had me avoiding my wine because I wanted to continue to savor what i had just eaten. The juice pairing is incredible and highly recommend it. Do not come hungry, the portions are perfect for a lighter dinner. You will leave ready to have more fun in the evening.. Not stuffed and ready to sleep.... Which is a good thing! Overall the best restaurant we have been to in Prague so far. Also an underappreciated extra something - watch for the interior decor and design. It's thoughtful - patterns are repeated between flooring, menu and window frosting, etc. I love a restaurant with an artistic aesthetic!

In town for work and decided to have dinner here after a long day. Opted for the 5 course tasting menu with wine pairing which was amazing. The wine pairings were all unique and explained very well. The service was also great and better than I'd expected. My favorite course was the beef with truffles, which was amazing. I will be back as I was by myself and this would be an excellent place to go with a significant other or friends.

While visiting Prague we had the opportunity to eat at this Michelin star restaurant. The staff was so friendly & attentive and the food was, well Michelin star quality. It's quite easy to see that it won't be long until La Degustation Bohême achieves their second star!

Holy cow, this food was spectacular! What a great experience. Every course of the menu, paired with wine, was a wonderful surprise. Great service too. High fee for canceling so book carefully. Worth it!!

We stopped through here for the tasting menu during a trip to Prague. It was so worth it! The staff was incredibly friendly and the decor of the restaurant was really engaging, with the kitchen open in the back. Each of our courses were delicious - I'm really glad we went with the tasting menu.

My wife suggested this is Pragues version of the French Laundry. The analogy pertained to the price, number of courses (8 plus "snacks") and richness of food. However, she gave the experience a 3 star rating due to some of the textures of the dishes. I think it ranks 4 stars for following reasons: The chefs created many of the dishes using traditional Czech ingredients but reimagined them into dishes that used the latest techniques. Some of the chances were hits, (sous vide chicken with truffles, rabbit and dumplings) and some were misses (beet root, tongue). The service was impeccable and the wine list was well constructed with a solid selection of Italian and French wines.

We made a reservation here before our flight and were very excited to try out this Michelin starred establishment. During our first visit, we made a subsequent reservation for two nights later - that's how good it was. The service both nights was impeccable - attentive yet not annoying, knowledgeable yet not oppressive. We mentioned a Czech wine we knew and liked at home, and one of our servers presented us with half a bottle from the same vineyard with a nice explanation. The space is quiet and immaculate, clean and minimalist but not cold. The food? 5 perfectly timed and sized portions of exquisitely plated gems. To start, an amuse-bouche of beef tartare and potato crisps. The pork-fat poached catfish was a highlight. The local cheese covered in shaved black Perigord truffle and truffle mayonnaise was a delight. The fallow deer was cooked to a perfect medium and melted in the mouth. We did the wine pairing both nights and highly recommend it as the staff loves to talk about their wine and answer any questions. 10/10 will do again when next in Prague.

One of the best meals I have ever had. It was so wonderful we went twice in three days. Not only was the tasting menu spectacular the wine paring was amazing. I also need to point out they did not play it safe on the wine and used mostly local wines to that region. You will not be disappointed.

The best meal we've ever had in our Central Europe tour. The food was worthy of its Michelin star and the staff were very attentive. Overall a great experience.

I was super excited for this place since it had a Michelin Star and had traditional Czech food and local ingredients. The celery root dish and the chicken were stand outs. The carrot soup and pork neck were also pretty good, along with the dessert. They had another plate of desserts, but the sorbet was the best. Ambience is good and we like the calm demeanor of the kitchen and staff. Service was pretty good for Czech standards. Minus one star for charging for still water - really? I know everyone charges but this type of place should not charge 150 kr ($7.50) per bottle of water. That was tacky and also they ask whether you want a welcome drink but that's not included. Also minus a star for the crappy wine pairing that we changed to juice in the middle. On top of that, cherry juice was especially potent as it is known to give diarrhea and stomach pains. I would skip the cherry juice. This is something that you want to try once if you're in Prague. Make sure to get reservations (email is on the website).

Wow- what an experience I had last night! My mouth had a new adventure of flavor flowing through it with each and every bite. If you would like a once in a lifetime meal (or perhaps more if you have all the moneys), then you have come to the right place. My husband and I dined here yesterday, and it usually takes me a while to review, but I can't stop thinking about it; I need to document my food feelings immediately. The flavors went from salty to savory to sweet through out the 8 courses we had. What came prior to our first course was some of my favorite parts of the meal. We started with a broth shot, which really sets the tone for the flavor trip you're about to embark on. I wanted a cocktail to begin with. They only have a few, but as soon as she said "cucumber martini", I said yes and didn't regret it; the martini was not too sweet or dry. I cannot eat pork or seafood, so two of my courses were close replicas of what my husband had. Same sauces when applicable, and equally as delicious, even with vegetables. Of course the servers were meticulous with their descriptions, assuring me of the ingredients with each plate. Some of my most memorable delectables were: - beef tartar: I've had a lot of tartar, and my favorite was one I ordered in Quebec. Sorry Quebec, Prague tartar has surpassed you. The crostini surrounding the tartar blended perfectly with the textures of the beef. I literally can't stop thinking about my first bite of it- and the second! - fermented potato pita: I'm a starch girl, what can I say. I need this starch in my life forever. The warmth of the pita mixing with the salty flavors were unforgettable. - deer: the cranberry dusting was just perfect. The deer was perfectly cooked and the flavors really rounded out the meal as a final main dish. I'm considered by everyone I know to be a very picky eater. I do not prefer mushrooms or onions, but can tolerate them, so I didn't list them as ingredients to avoid. After our delicious starters, I dove right into both a mushroom pasta dish and an onion rabbit dish, never looking back. Apparently I just had a very refined tasted for those veggies, because these dishes were also amazing. And the dessert? It was a blueberry and creamy yogurt dish, with some sort of sweet, thin sheeted blueberry crostini. You could feel the dissolving sugar crystals on your tongue with every bite. Better than pop rocks, that's for sure. And the service- it deserves 5 stars itself. Each time my glass was half empty, they asked if I'd like more. And if we were getting close to finishing our bottle, we were asked if we would like to purchase another. As soon as I stood up for the restroom, the staff guided me politely to the correct door. And the restroom itself? Gorgeous. We had a 9pm dinner, and were sat next to the kitchen, so I couldn't have had a more lovely view of the plating. It was amazing to see their meticulous dedication to the plating process, and once the night was complete, we got to watch as the staff did their nightly recap. The chefs came together to recap the service, and getting to thank them all as we left was a highlight of my day. Lastly, the decor of the restaurant mirrors the thought put into every dish. The custom tiles and wood flooring were absolutely stunning, and they carried the thematic onto the windows and menus. The chandeliers beg for your attention as well, with their glass bone theme extending to the doorway as well. I will only address the price since some other reviewers are not custom to fine dining experience pricing. After a 20% tip (more than custom for the country, yes), the meal was about $400. We had 3 bottles of sparkling water, a cocktail, glass of wine, and a whiskey neat, plus two meals. We will never, ever, ever be able to replicate even one of the things I tasted in the meal- nor find another chef who can- making it a unique experience to Prague and my memory book. If you're going to set aside budget for a meal, do it for La Degustation. You won't be disappointed.

This review is LONG overdue, but I guess I knew there was so much to praise about this place I never thought I'd know where to start. This was hands down the most exciting dining experience I've ever had. It was everything I thought it'd be... plus more. I've been drooling over their menu, and anticipating our reservation for months, and it's worth the wait and every dollar, trust me. From the presentation, service and ambiance- La Degustation is nothing but flawless. The chef even came to our table to discuss every detail with a few of the courses, and it made the experience more special. You really savor each bite rather than dig in and forget. If you want large dishes, and typical czechia prices- this is not your place. If you want to have a dining experience with Czech's finest, and most respected local ingredients than take the plunge, and reserve your seat in advance. The venison with juniper berries, and duck plate were my favorite, and they even added some local, fresh berries and cream and another plate that was not on the menu which was appreciated. Can't wait to come back in the near future, and proud to say I know a little more of the flavors of my culture.

We were able to get a reservation on short notice. Luckily it was an earlier reservation at around 5:30pm or 6pm The whole dining experience lasted almost 5 hours. Everything, and I mean everything from beginning to end was near perfect. This is why it's a 3 Michelin star restaurant. We went with the 11 course tasting menu, of course with the wine pairing. Each dish was carefully thought out and it definitely showed. What was the most amazing was the wine pairing. The wine pairing really stole the show and really enhanced every single dish. I was even more amazed by the wine pairings for every dish. With 11 courses and 11 pairings, you will be pretty full by the end and perhaps a little buzzed with the generous pours. Service was top notch as expected from a fine dining restaurants. From folding / replacing napkin when patron uses restroom, to refilling water, to watching your table to time the next dishes. Please note that still water is charged by the pitcher thingy.

Wow wow wow!!!!! Absolutely worthy of its Michelin Star. The ambiance, the service, the food, the attention to detail, the wines, every single element related to this restaurant is a solid 5 gold stars! PRE-VISIT: We made a reservation just days before our arrival to Prague (and we were lucky to be able to get a table). Over email they asked us if we had any food allergies or preferences. Both my husband and I are pescatarian (mostly vegetarian), so we mentioned this. AMBAINCE When we arrived at LDBB it was like love at first sight. The L-shaped restaurant was modern, chic, but also classy with dim lighting and clean design. All the tables were full of diners. Our table was the best seat in the house - facing the open, pristine and clean kitchen where the chefs worked in unison like a choreographed dance, and with the precision of surgeons performing a surgery. Our menus were given to us in sealed envelopes, it felt like we were opening a gift. The seal on the envelope matched the glass design on their windows, as well as the graphics on the back of the menu, a folded up crisp piece of paper with two degustation options: a 6 course meal and a 9 course meal. My husband and I don't eat that much in general, and last time we had a 9 course meal (at Fiskmarkadurinn in Reykjavic, Iceland) we were unable to get through it, so we chose the 6 course. Our server knew (from our reservation) that we were pescatarian so they had adapted the menu for us. We did opt for the Wine pairing - which I highly recommend and is absolutely worth the splurge. FOOD AND WINE: The six courses ended up being more like a nine course anyway; since the kitchen spoils you with delectable pre-appetizers. We started with a sampling of clean crisp vegetables and a homemade whipped hollandaise sauce, followed by pickled carrots inside two crispy parmesan crackers. This was followed by homemade bread, and only then, did our six course journey begin. Before each dish arrive, the overly friendly, funny, and completely un-pretentious sommelier came to our table to share a new wine. He would explain the qualities of the wine, the region it was from (all Czech wines), and a bit of the history of the wine/wine makers. Shortly thereafter, as if on cue in a perfectly timed theatrical production, our dish would arrive that was to be paired with each wine. Our dishes were: 1) a tomato salad with mustard ice-cream, 2) crispy cauliflower (with an amazing green sauce), 3) a smoked catfish soup (my favorite dish of the evening reminiscent of Japanese bonito flakes), 4) a home made wild mushroom pasta (that rivaled some of the best Italian pastas), 5) a main fish dish (the fish was lightly seared).....but before the 6th dish (dessert), we were given small chewable honeycombs as a palette cleanser, followed by dish number 6) an ice-cream and berry dessert, and followed by a piece of marshmallow (not vegetarian), which we followed with a coffee. Every dish had a special wine, every wine complimented the flavor elements of each dish. The whole meal was like a perfectly balanced performance. The dishes, though seemingly simple, played with textures (soft, gelatinous, crunch, solid, crispy, crackling), with flavors (mixing, sweet, sour, salt.....) but my favorite play of all, was their play on temperature -- which was the special surprise in each dish. For example the cold mustard ice-cream over the warm tomato salad; or the warm sweet smoked cat-fish soup -- all these were full of surprises in flavors and textures composed in truly innovative ways that I had never experienced before. SERVICE: The servers -- though one of the best restaurants in Prague -- were not stuck up or pretentious, everyone was super down-to earth and just seemed to really enjoy sharing this experiential experience with their diners. Absolutely worth it! I am excited to return to Prague in the future to experience new inventions and creations by the chefs at La Degustation Boheme Bourgeoise.

La Degustation is worth every penny. My wife and I had the 10-course tasting menu and each dish was made of the finest and freshest ingredients with creativity and care. The flavors complimented each other similar to a story and each dish after the other flowed beautifully until the end of meal. Expect to spend $165 per person as of 9/26/17. The menu changes often based on the availability of seasonal ingredients so your experience will be different than mine but undoubtedly just as amazing. Also, the service is flawless. Props to the staff for making this anniversary dinner a memorable one. Easily in the top 5 of my favorite meals ever.

I had the 6-course tasting menu. It was nice to sit by the kitchen to watch how the team of chefs prepared my food. My favorite course was the pork belly wrapped in crunchy chicken skin... definitely one of the most memorable mouthgasms in my life! I hope they still have it on the menu cos it's an overdue review. I just found out it's a Michelin star restaurant. Oh yeah, they definitely deserved it! The meal wasn't cheap but the price was definitely on the lower side compared to the rest of the 3 Michelin star restaurants in my experience. By the way, restaurants in the country don't serve tap water.. so you will have to order a bottle of water if you need to hydrate yourself.

Go here! That simple declarative sentence could be my whole review. This place is amazing. I was here in March 2017 and had booked a reservation, when we got there, I will admit I wasn't jazzed about the menu. I like fish but am typically pretty pedestrian in my tastes, snapper, halibut, etc. That night, one course was Pike(never had it) and another was Catfish(only when fresh caught and fried-this one wasn't going to be fried). Wow! From the first bite of the first amuse bouche I was blown away. Some tasting menus( a lot) start subtle, with delicate flavors and then build to a crescendo. That is not, in and of itself a bad thing. This meal was a knockout punch followed by a knockout punch. The dishes were beautifully presented but each packed a unique and wonderful flavor punch. It was so good I regretted doing the 6 course and felt I should have gone all in for 11! PS, who knew catfish would taste like that!

My boyfriend and I have a new tradition of going out for one really fancy dinner when we go on vacation. Our trip to La Degustation was our 2nd of such dinners. Overall, we had a really beautiful time here. I was quite struck by the intensity of flavors in all of the dishes, and I didn't try anything I didn't enjoy. My two favorites were fish dishes, and my boyfriend loved the deer and a cabbage dish. If 8 courses weren't enough, we were also served some extra little surprise snacks. Menus change all the time, and we don't use our phones for these special occasion meals, but be prepared to be really delighted!

I am an idiot and for once decided not to take pictures of the food that was served in this absolutely impeccable restaurant, and I regret it every single day. My wife and I traveled to both Prague and Budapest this August for a late honeymoon, and her birthday conveniently landed on a day we were in Prague. To celebrate, we decided to have it at a Michelin Starred restaurant, and Jesus Christ it was one of the best meals we have ever had in our time together. We had the greater than ten course menu, with both the juice and wine pairing. The place is expensive, but it is absolutely worth every penny. I believe our bill for two with wine and juice pairing was ~$550 US with tip. The service was just incredible. The sommelier who described both the wine, and juice was a super personably, really young kid who had deep knowledge of the local wines and juices they were serving. The general waitstaff were all super nice and talkative, kind of playing down the excessively high scale vibe that you initially get. I LOVE going into a stuffy looking restaurant, and being surprised by how personable everyone is. La Degustation looks like the kind of place you would be shunned for no pinkies out, but it is quite the opposite. There was not a single plate that we were served that was unimpressive. All 12?ish courses were amazing, and you could see the chefs preparing them around the corner. As they finished a sauce or side dish, they would run it over from the kitchen. This continued for an hour and a half to two hours, and the pacing was also on point. Since going to Bacchanalia in Atlanta in 2013, that has been my bar for best restaurant I have eaten at in my life. La Degustation is a very, very close contender for that spot, and I would love to return sometime. It is absolutely worth the 12 hour flight.

For my birthday I picked this restaurant to celebrate. We flew to Prague, ate some sausages and had some beer, but this was a highlight of the trip. They only offer one menu - 8-course meal, with or without wine tasting. Of course, wine tasting for us. My favorite dish was the celeriac root, with mushrooms, truffles and the foam of walnuts and the egg yolk underneath. It was majestic. I wish I could order one more of that! The sommelier did wonderful job pairing up the wine to each dish. We loved it. We really did love our meal.

What an amazing experience. Granted it's my first Michelin star restaurant so yeah it was pretty freaking great. We made reservations via email prior to our arrival in Prague and they were more than happy to accommodate us. We scheduled it about two weeks in advance in order to secure a table and we were able to get a table for 5 without any trouble. They offer both a 10 course and a 14 course meal with pairings of both in house juices and delicious wines. Naturally the wines are pricier so be prepared to spend a little extra. The service was fabulous. They ensured that all glasses of water were filled promptly and before they even fully emptied. I selected the juice pairing with my 10 course and they had amazing creativity when it came to the creation of each juice. Some were made with radishes, cucumbers, and pears. They accented it with ginger and other spices. The food from this restaurant opened my eyes to the different and innovative ways that you can enjoy a meal. One thing that sticks out to me the most was the dessert. The chef prepared a whipped potato foam that tasted sweet and filling. They then went the extra mile and provided us with a second dessert of a aerated berry foam. Would definitely recommend if you would like to go for a unique experience that doesn't slaughter you on the price compared to other Michelin reviews I have read.

A culinary experience that we won't soon forget. The wine pairing really elevated the food, so I highly recommend. The sommelier was friendly and knowledgeable. Although all of the dishes were great, our favorites were the carp and the summer vegetables. The menu changes regularly, so you most likely will not get these exact dishes, however I can say with confidence that you are in good hands here at La Degustation! Excellent!

OMG, just be prepared. We had the 11 course tasting and wine... It was amazing, but a lot of food and A LOT of wine. I really like how everything here is to order, what I mean is if you have a gluten allergy, they can accommodate, if you don't eat fish, they can accommodate, etc. I really liked that because I don't eat meat and I could still eat everything in the tasting. The highlights of our tasting were a beet and kefir snow combination, that was almost sweet enough to be a dessert and the wine pairings. I mean the sommelier knocked it out of the park. We would get the wine slightly before the course was served, and trying it then vs the flavors that came out when paired with the food was mind blowing. There were several times when I was like, I don't really like this wine, and then the food would come and I was amazed by the difference in taste. Great job all around.

Despite the French name of the restaurant, the food served here is actually modern Czech gastronomy. Overall, the food was very good but the service was even better, top-notch and what you would actually expect from an even more expensive restaurant. The setting here is perfect for a romantic/special evening dinner, with a bonus view into the brightly lit open kitchen area. Having been trying to eat as much good food in Prague as possible, my wife and I didn't feel we had room to do the more comprehensive tasting menu so we did the abbreviated one instead. It was a 6 course tasting menu on paper, but ended up being an 11 course degustation with all of the added extras. Our 6 course tasting menu for the evening (as written by the restaurant): - lettuce, fruit - trebon catfish, kefir, poppy seeds, dill - pumpkin, Prague ham, whipped cream - pikeperch, kohlrabi, nasturtium, yeast - sumava mushrooms, lard, egg, caraway - blatacke zlato, romadur, rowanberries / cheese plate My favorite dish of the night had was probably one of the extras, however. It was essentially "shrimp chips" dotted with bits of sauce and greens/flowers, but they were the most amazing ones I've ever tasted! We paired our dinners with excellent Czech wines, most notably a Czech rosé that was mixed with Pinot Noir.

With only a few days in Prague, I felt very lucky to get a reservation here. My boyfriend suggested it last minute and we managed to get a weekend reservation! When dining in a Michelin restaurant, why not go all out? We did the 12 course menu with wine pairings and I think we would both agree that it was a great choice. There were a few dishes that I didn't love, but were interesting and flavorful nonetheless. The wines enhanced each dish and the sommelier was friendly and knowledgable. Service was excellent and we were lucky enough to get a table next to the kitchen. Watching the chef and his team was amazing. I'd definitely agree with other reviews that it was an unpretentious dining experience and a must while in Prague, despite the price. Also, prepare for the length. If you're in it for the long haul (12 courses) expect that dinner will take nearly 4 hours. I'm definitely not complaining! Beautiful ambiance, friendly staff, delicious/ beautiful/ interesting/ flavorful dishes. You won't regret it.

This place was great. Everything you want a creative fine dining experience to be, regardless of what country you're in. We came for our last dinner in Prague, after hearing great things and seeing it on No Reservations back in the day. We came for the 6 course dinner, and were really surprised to see that many of the other patrons went for the 11 course dinner, but we weren't feeling too hungry, so 6 courses ended up being perfect. After drinking heavily throughout our trip in Prague, we actually decided to forgo the wine pairing and went for the non-alcoholic juice pairing instead. I was a bit skeptical at the juice pairing, but some of the juices they had were very interesting, and were actually very unique and tasty. There was a bit of whimsy at the beginning when our waiter brought out the egg amuse bouche, which was a bunch of tiny quail eggs in a clear carton, and that one bite was rich and delicious. This was followed up with some warm bread and some beef tartare on a crisp, served on a rock. That's a lot of food, even before hitting up the actual courses. We started off with the tomatoes, mustard, and thyme, with a cucumber juice. Quite refreshing and a good start to the meal. The second course was trout, served in the style of salmon, paired with an elderflower juice, which was probably my favorite pairing of the night. The next course was a delicate egg yolk in dill foam, with crispy potatoes, paired with plum juice. The pairing didn't make too much sense to me, but the egg yolk dish was so dang good. I would eat bowls and bowls of that. Next came the fallow deer, which was more like 2 bites of fatty venison, but paired well with the cherry juice. The next course was probably the most unique out of all of them: beef heart, Prague ham, and horseradish, paired with leek juice. I really enjoyed the beef heart and ham, and the leek juice was by far one of the strangest flavors I had eaten all night. Finally, we ended with dessert, for which I chose the yogurt, with plum and butter, paired with grape juice soda. Kind of a cop out at the end with the pairing, but still delicious nonetheless. Our server explained everything us in-depth, and made sure we were taken care of throughout the meal. We ended up staying about 3.5 hours, but it didn't actually seem that long to us, as most of the courses were followed up with some sort of amuse bouche throughout the meal. This was easily the priciest meal out of all the places we visited, which included The Alcron and Field, but the service and attention to detail is really amped up here, so it was definitely warranted. Would easily recommend this place for a fancy dinner date, as the ambiance is dark and the vibe is fairly intimate. Yet, there are a lot of bars and cool places to check out nearby, so even after you're finished, you can keep the night going.

I feel almost foolish trying to review a Michelin starred restaurant. What can I add that hasn't already been said by reviewers who are far more reliable than me. But, I can say that we two unsophisticated diners were made to feel like royalty. What amazing service! We seriously had fun dining at this lovely restaurant. Of course the food was good! I can't say what was my favorite of the six courses, because they were amazing. The sauce with the trout knocked our socks off. The morels with egg yolk were fabulous with a mushroom sauce and foam. The quail was luscious with a quince sauce. And I can't say enough about the wine pairings and how perfectly they accompanied the meal. Once in a lifetime meal for me and one I will always remember.

Wow, what a special dining experience. I got a vegetarian 8-course meal here and it was so special and amazing. Highly recommend and worth the cost for a great Michelin star meal -- the best in Prague!

One of the best restaurants I've been to on the european continent - and each time it is consistent. It was my fourth time there. Chef Oldřich is creative and puts delicious platings in front of the guests. The service is attentive and pleasant, without being overbearing. Sometimes it is confusing who is the head waiter for the table, but that does not matter in the greater scheme of things. Sommelier Novotný tells you some stories about the wines that are impeccably matched to the dishes from the kitchen. I highly recommend getting the wine pairing with the "Dégustation du Chef". The amuse-bouches sent out will surprise you. The ambiance is modern. It isn't stuffy and snooty. When the place is full, it may be a bit annoying when larger groups are there making noise. An additional note: some of the descriptions on the menu do not do justice to what actually is being served. Simple references like "Tomato Sauce and Mustard" will not describe what will be amazing your taste buds. The only downer that evening were the Potatoes in Ash, which were just too hot (temperature) to handle. The menu may be too pricey - but it sure pays off to save up for it. Tip: if you dine alone, try to reserve the table by the open kitchen. It serves for entertainment. If you are a doing a romantic dinner for two, and it is possible, get the table in the corner window where Hastalska and Rybna streets intersect. Every time - incredible.

This restaurant was a true foodie experience. You just show up, sit back and be served 8 amazing courses (and several surprise additions) on their unique and ever changing menu. It is the only Bohemian cuisine Michelin starred restaurant in the Czech republic. The service was sublime making sure you always had a pristine environment for every course with knives, forks and spoons anytime the course changes. They were there when needed and gone when not. I thought every course was a unique flavor combination with complicated and intense flavors. This is definitely a special occasion restaurant but would absolutely be on my must visit when going to Prague.

Ok, I am definitely not a 5 star kind of guy, this proves it. I can afford $250 a head in Prague or $600 a head in New York or Chicago, yet this is too much. Like Alinea in Chicago these haute restaurants capture my imagination for the first few courses, then in an hour or three leave me tired and ready to leave. I enjoy great food, just not 2 plus hours of dining. They do work hard here, not pretentious and the food is good

You will need a reservation in advance but you will be so happy you did! This is one of the finest restaurants in Prague. I have been to many Michelin rated restaurants and this one deserves the title. Get the set menu with wine pairing. It's a beautiful dining experience that you will not forget!

I don't know what i can say that others haven't already. The best meal of my life! Absolutely exquisite. You must go here when in Prague. If you do the wine pairing, don't have any cocktails beforehand because it's a lot of wine!

Absolutely amazing restaurant. Definitely one of the top in Prague. The menu is a masterpiece and so are the wines that are paired with the individual courses. The service is of the top quality. This is not a place to which you would come for a far or regular dinner. It is a restaurant that you pick for special occasions when you want for the dinner to become a culinary experience. I absolutely adore this place and can highly recommend it. Just make sure that you reserve the table well in advance if you are planning to spend some special evening in here.

Great place for foodies! What I really enjoyed was the great SERVICE as well as the excellent FOOD. We splurged and did the 11 course with wine pairing. Each was a treat and we learn a lot about the regional wines of the czech republic. It was great to have a seat which let us see how the kitchen worked. One of the service highlights was the Sommelier who was from Brno, he went out of his way to give us his restaurant recommendations (since he was from there) as we were traveling there from Prague. Also, I found the pace of service perfect and on par with Michelin 2 and 3 star restaurants. While not inexpensive, one of the highlights of our trip.

Great restaurant in Prague. We went there for our anniversary and they treated us very nicely. We told them we are pescatarian's and they were very happy to accommodate us. This is a Michelin restaurant which deserves the star that is has. The service is outstanding. The staff makes your dining experience very pleasant. They bring each course to you and explain it. The food is amazing. It reminds me of The French Laundy. I don't know what I ate that night but everything had a burst of flavor. Go for the food or go for the service. But definitely try this place out. It is one of the most exciting things to do in Prague (a beautiful city). A big must do!!! Try it out!

An overdue review from June 2 2014 (my birthday last year). Really unbelievable meal. The restaurant is in a "L" shape so the room feels like two and allows for an intimate dinner experience. There is an open kitchen so you can watch all the action. My friends and I enjoyed every moment of the tasting menu paired with local wines. Every dish came with extra touches like "horseradish snow" or edible flowers. My parents were in Prague in September and also had one of their best dinners here. The staff let my Dad flip through the historic cookbooks that inspire their recipes. A trip to Prague is not complete without walking across the Charles Bridge -- as well as a meal at La Degustation.

It was lovely. We randomly tried to get a table about 30 mins before opening (and underdressed), and as luck would have it they had an opening. Now, we are huge fans of chef menu locations, but we have only tried them in the US. We eat at tasting menu places often but I would have to say this location was the most streamlined. Very classic, polite, and attentive. The food was fantastic, heavy on the salty savory which is my fave. But, due to the savory, my fave dish was the frozen beer foam with heavy syrupy cider. Honestly food and prep is an art, and I asked to speak to the chef to express my happiness with the food and he was gracious and showed me a bit around the kitchen. I loved that he seemed excited that a patron was interested in his work, because I was blessed with his work in the first place. Fantastic food, formal but somehow relaxed vibe, efficient (almost German) oiled machine! The chef was sweet and amazing, as was the whole staff. Recommend!!!

11 course tasting is the way to go. (6 course is the other option if you're less hungry) Reserve in advance because there are a limited number of tables and they only let you in at certain times. Expect to spend about 3.5-5k CZK per person without wine/juice pairing or double that amount if you want wine or juice. The dishes were delightful and beautifully crafted. It seemed as if each dish had its own story and I guess you could say they were pieces of edible art. I don't want to bore you with details of each dish because they will change, but know that the executive chef here runs an excellent kitchen with staff operating with the highest level of courtesy.
