Villa Richter

Second time here (went back when it was still a restaurant in 2016) for NYE 2024-25. This place was the perfect place to ring in the new year. Thanks to the team for ensuring an amazing table and for accommodating my dietary restrictions. The food was exquisite and what a better way to celebrate the fireworks than with a midnight Champagne toast. Also, love the Riesling and Pinot! Thanks to Natalie Horvath for coordinating and for the staff for taking such great care of us! Look forward to returning again soon!

Dream makers! We hosted our wedding at Villa Richter and could not say enough great things about the venue and the staff. From the beginning they have been professional and honest on all contracting and planning. During out tasting they made sure we had everything we needed for a perfect day. The chef and his serving staff did amazing. We had a few changes to the menu and they conducted the changes with ease and efficiency. Also the food was amazing! We had visitors from all over the world. I was worried about serving a beef filet BUT even our family from Texas, Scotland and France agreed it was one of the best meals they have had. We never saw the bottom of our glasses from the amazing serving team. The staff were professional of course but they went above and beyond. My father is in a wheelchair and the staff took the time to make sure he was fully comfortable and even and ramps for him when needed. They didn't have to do anything but they were kind and made him feel respected. HUGE thank you to the event manager Eva. Her calmness and attention to detail did not go unnoticed. It was a pleasure working with her and I think her combination of professionalism and poise are extremely rare in the industry. She made the event happen without any issues---Yes we even had a wedding planner but Eva was by far capable of handling the event fully on her own watch. Would love to work with her again. I recommend this venue for weddings or any events. Great views and food.

The views were second to none. We saved this dinner for our last night in Prague and we’re so glad we did. Food was very tasty and they offer a wide variety of wines on the wine list. Service was exceptional. Had a few mishaps with the food, but everything was taken care of. Would recommend during sunset hours as you see the sunlight hitting the buildings across the bridge. Beautiful atmosphere for a meal.

It's a good place to eat, the view is awesome and the food is a little out of the ordinary for Prague. The staff members could be a bit friendlier but I guess that's the city's habit. I enjoyed it but I wouldn't say it's top cuisine.

A beautiful view of the city, the food was great and it was the best service I encountered in Prague yet, our waiter was very friendly, passionate and helpful. Prices were also quite reasonable for the quality of food

We wish to express our thanks to the management and staff of Vila Richter for making the wedding of our daughter & son -in-law this August an unforgettable event. The unique location of Vila Richter situated under the Prague Castle in the working vineyard made for unforgettable ambiance. The outdoor wedding ceremony offered unforgettable views of Prague from the vineyard itself as well from the terrace of the villa. After the wedding ceremony, guests could enjoy walking around the vineyard while sampling from various Czech or international wines. For the reception, this picturesque view was crowned by the very tasteful arrangement of the tables for over 40 guests on the terrace of the Terra restaurant complete with plenty of space for a band and a dance floor. The white tent that sat over the terrace was beautiful and tasteful to fit in with any décor as it had a classic chandelier and rolling white fabric on the interior. This provided shade/temperature control while still enabling the guests to enjoy the view from any table/dance floor. There were also couches around the perimeter, which allowed the guests to sit in comfort – great for both the younger and older guests! The quality of service, quality of food, beverages, pastry display table and of course the wedding cake were unparalleled; the bride and groom chose to have a traditional Czech meal (svickova). All courses were incredible and even though the food was foreign to most US guests, it was incredibly well received and included some modern twists, but mostly it was the quality of the food/ingredients as well as the style/preparation that had our guests talking about it weeks after the wedding. The fireworks over Prague only accented the uniqueness of the entire wedding, attended by 40 guests, family and friends from the United States as well as from the Czech Republic. All our guests but especially our friends from the US, had an incredible experience during this festive occasion, and Villa Richter provided an unforgettable backdrop for the celebration. All our quests have expressed their gratitude for the quality and uniqueness of the entire venue.

A very noble restaurant situated next to the Prague castle and cathedral in a Villa encircled by vineyards and a lovely view of the city of Prague. The food itself was excellent as well, and though the portions are not huge they were indeed filling enough. This is however not the place you want to visit to simply satisfy your hunger, instead, it's a dining experience for romantic or equally rare occasions. Having said all that, prices were not too steep either- two people can eat comfortably for around 50€ which is not half-bad for a restaurant of this class. Tl, dr: If you'd like to have a first-class dining experience after a stroll through the castle, this is a great place to go to. 5/5

The beautiful views from this restaurant are matched by really good food. While fairly pricey it was delicious and only a small walk from Prague castle.

Just outside Prague Castle we found this beautiful wine bar. When you enter there are several different areas. If you walk to the back you'll see a cocktail bar to the left and the wine bar to the right. Follow the cute signs to the wine bar. You'll see the vines along the way. We were able to get a table without a reservation. The wine was good and the view was amazing. The staff were all very nice.

I love to come here especially in summer or on hot spring days when you can sit outside and can enjoy the amazing views. The cuisine is really nice even though you have to keep in mind that the service/food you get while sitting outside are not the same as when you come for a dinner and sit inside. The place is quite popular among tourists provided its location so be ready for the fact it's not the typical "Czech" atmosphere in here :)

Came here twice- once for wine outside and once for wine in the restaurant. I wanted to try it straight from the vineyard, and to my disappointment, the first time around they weren't offering glasses from the vineyard. The red was still tasty though. The second time I came, was late at night an hour before closing. I was able to get a glass of the wine from the vineyard, but it was the tiniest pour for an expensive glass also. Our service took forever as well- my mom had gotten a dessert and latte. The latte came out right away and was cold by the time the dessert came out 30 min later. Oh well, it was pretty inside.

Skip the formal restaurant and go straight up to the terrace! We almost went to the restaurant but none of the food options stood out to us.. especially at the price point listed. So we went up to the bistro which ended up having a much more beautiful view and lower priced food items. We split the cheese plate, which was a beautiful selection with apricots, walnuts, marmalade and delicious bread. Great portion size. We also ordered the chorizo, which they brought out on a plate and light a flame under it right at our table. Beautiful presentation! The view was gorgeous with the vines along the wall. Decent bathrooms as well. Highly recommend for the view!

Stumbled upon this gem on a recent trip to Florence. It's a bit hard to get to without a car but well worth the trouble. The views were unbeatable from the back terrace. The wine and hospitality was just a cherry on top of an amazing day trip.

It's unfortunate that I have to write such a low review for what was our wedding reception dinner venue, but duty calls... Note: my issues lie solely with the management and the event planner/coordinator. The servers were friendly and professional, the food was absolutely delicious, and style and atmosphere of the restaurant is stunning...simply beautiful. I'll get straight to the point without sparing too many details. We started planning our wedding in the summer and were advised by the even planner for Villa Richter that our wedding date would have the autumn menu to choose from. So when the autumn menu was displayed on their website, I created custom menus with our top choices for appetizers, soup/salad, and entree choices. One or two days before the wedding, we called to finalize the cake delivery, other details, and to ask if the staff would be willing to place our menus and place cards on the tables for our meal. This is when we learned that, actually, the autumn menu was no longer available and we would be given meal options from the winter menu (which was *completely* different and filled with very gamey meats and poultry, which are not so appetizing for me). The worst thing was that the event planner didn't offer any kind of apology or acknowledgement that she totally dropped the ball on communicating with us about the change in menus and instead placed the responsibility on us with her offering no reasonable resolution. Nevermind the fact that my husband, who is a native Czech speaker, went over details and questions several times with the event planner (also a Czech speaker). This type of service is unfortunately normal for the Czech "service" industry, and after years of living here, I've learned to accept that... but for a restaurant of such high caliber on the Prague Castle grounds, somehow I expected better. It wouldn't have been such a big deal, but the menus I made took time, effort, and money, my husband and I carefully selected the menu specifically for the tastes of our guests, and of course, it was our wedding, so we simply wanted things to go as we hoped/were advised months prior. I'm sure any bride out there can understand the disappointment you'd feel if 30 hours before you're getting married, suddenly your entire menu changes. The second issue is, sadly, an even bigger deal. To reserve a 'salon' at Villa Richter, there is a minimum consumption amount. In our case, it was 20,000kc which we paid in two cash payments prior to the wedding. After our wedding meal was completed, the manager presented us with a bill of 10,000kc claiming we never paid the entire 20,000kc amount... I don't think I've ever rolled my eyes so dramatically. Luckily for me, my husband (who is Czech and has lived in Prague is whole life) also knows the "ways" of Czech customer service and insisted that I keep all receipts with me throughout the day in case someone tried to do exactly what the management at Villa Richter did. So we had the receipts of payment, thank God, and they magically resolved the issue. Again, no apology, no attempt to accept responsibility from their side. The manager literally bolted for the kitchen door when he realized the receipts proved that payments had been made in full. The servers were so mortified they themselves apologized on behalf of the management, which I appreciated, but a little humility and general decency would have gone a long way from the management side. As an American, I know I've been spoiled with customer service standards my whole life, but I think anyone in the world can empathize with the ridiculousness of this situation. If they had done anything to try and make up for such a mistake, I wouldn't be writing this review, and we would be going back to Villa Richter for our first anniversary...unfortunately that will never happen and I will not sing the good graces of Villa Richter. The behind-the-scenes staff seriously needs to step up their game by being professional and accountable to the standard that this restaurant deserves!

This restaurant is next to the local vineyard under Prague Castle exit. Amazing view of Prague, best authentic Thai food in Europe, excellent Riesling although a little pricey.

Had a destination wedding here planned by The White Wedding Agency, a local planner there, and it was absolutely perfect. The ceremony area for the place was secluded enough so tourists couldn't get too close. It was an amazing view from the ceremony area and the Piano Noble (the green house and terrace area we rented out which was elegantly set up and decorated. Their menus to choose from are excellent and they work so well with you. I loved all the mini desserts they made us too. I am a dry wine lover and I was surprised at how good their Villa Richter wine was. Great selections for red and white Villa Richter wines. The staff was wonderful and very professional. We had great service all night! I wish I could do it all over again! Definitely will be back to visit Prague and enjoy another wonderful dinner here.

Amazing location, great food, friendly staff and nice selection of locally made wines from their own vineyard.

Fantastic ambiance, view, service and food. We had a large party seated outside and ordered both starters and entrees as well as multiple bottles of wine, cocktails and beers. The chef started us with a complimentary beef "rose" which was fantastic. I then chose the papaya salad which was fantastic, but as did my friends mushroom tartare, beef tartare and salads. I had the ravioli as an entree which was good, but the traditional Czech dishes and the octopus also looked delicious. Overall, it was a pricey meal, but well worth it for the view and multi coursed meal.
