The latest ‘Restaurant Week’ started 13th October and lasts until 18th November 2026. So, it’s more like restaurant month. For 869 Kč per person, it offers a chance to visit some high-end restaurants, such as Alchymist, for a three-course menu and cocktail.
869 Kč? But the advertising says 790 Kč. Yes, there’s a sneaky reservation fee of 79 Kč added. If you choose one of the restaurants in Prague that offer a 490 Kč menu, the reservation fee is 49 Kč. We don’t like it, but let’s move on…
The Alchymist Hotel and restaurant are like a fairytale castle. You enter into a beautiful courtyard, proceed through reception and find yourself in a stunning restaurant.
For Restaurant Week Month, we tried Menu B.
The staff were really friendly and professional and explained the dishes.
A large bottle of still water outrageously overpriced at 160 Kč.
Everything was delicious with beautiful presentation.
The Martini and tonic, included in the menu price, was similar to an Aperol Spritz.
A complimentary basket of bread was brought to our table.
The amuse bouche was a delicious choux pastry with horseradish foam and salmon.
Starter from Menu B: Crayfish cream with crème fraîche and crayfish tails.
Main Course from Menu B:
Grilled octopus with shrimps and mussels on cuttlefish fregole and beurre blanc.
Dessert from Menu B:
Cupcake filled with tonka bean cream, raspberries, mango curd and passion fruit gel.
The menu on our table listed all the Restaurant Week dishes, plus had ‘tea or coffee’ after the dessert. I remarked how nice it was of the Alchymist to include this in the Restaurant Week menu, Sadly, when the bill came, the coffee 95 Kč had been added.
The Alchymist is beautiful and the food is excellent. However, the exorbitant cost for water and the cheeky coffee charge soured the experience. You’ll have better food at The Monkey Bar and a bottle of water there is 80 Kč.
I know you’ve already paid, but please don’t forget to tip your server 150 Kč or more.
