Tamarind Tree was started by chef Ladislav Dvořák - he was previously a Chef de partie (line cook) at Prague's Mandarin Oriental Hotel restaurant. The concept has always been Asian street food, offered at various Prague events and as a guest menu in some Prague restaurants. I may have tasted Chef Dvořák's food at a … Continue reading Tamarind Tree Restaurant, Prague

Zátiší Group wishes me Happy Birthday – although it’s not like the old days
Zátiší Group have several restaurants in Prague; Bellevue (the flagship), V Zátiší, Mlýnec, Žofín Garden and Café Rudolfinum. Over twenty years ago, their portfolio was better. There also weren't as many places to choose from back then. Bellevue and V Zátiší were still there, but across the river there was also a small luxury place called U … Continue reading Zátiší Group wishes me Happy Birthday – although it’s not like the old days
Yamato Japanese Restaurant, Prague
Yamato is hidden away on a quiet street not far from Jiřího z Poděbrad Metro station. It's one of 25 restaurants in Prague that were awarded 'L’ Assiette Michelin' (the Michelin Plate). Above those there are six with a Bib Gourmand and two with a Michelin star. Our expectations, both in quality and price, were … Continue reading Yamato Japanese Restaurant, Prague
Lasagneria Restaurant, Prague
Lasagneria, as the name suggests, specialise in home-made Lasagne dishes - they also have a Cannelloni. The clever name and logo is visible from the street. And the place looks inviting, especially on a cold dark Sunday (27th Jan) evening. The interior is nicely decorated with an interesting string ceiling that could easily be a … Continue reading Lasagneria Restaurant, Prague
Levain Bistro, Prague
I'm still ashamed that it took a year before we visited QQ Asian Kitchen, so when I heard that Levain had opened last Wednesday (23rd Jan), I made sure I booked a table for Saturday night. Levain is on Kozácká, a narrow street near the fashionable Krymská street area. The place doesn't yet have a sign, … Continue reading Levain Bistro, Prague
Jacob’s Restaurant, Prague, Czech Republic
Jacob's Restaurant now occupies the space that used to be Oliva Restaurant. Oliva wasn't a bad place but suffered by being too expensive for a mid-week night, not quite good enough for a Saturday. Jacob's seem to have remedied the cost element with a reasonably-priced menu - well except for the wine which is completely out of step. The … Continue reading Jacob’s Restaurant, Prague, Czech Republic
Maso je maso Steak & Burger Restaurant, Prague, Czech Republic
Maso je maso (meat is meat) occupies the space where the Summa cum Laude used to be. The bar, open kitchen and bathrooms are the same but the restaurant interior has been re-decorated. Those who read my review of Summa cum Laude will remember that I found the menu confused, like a mash up of … Continue reading Maso je maso Steak & Burger Restaurant, Prague, Czech Republic
Salabka Restaurant, Prague, Czech Republic
Salabka has only been open for a few months. The location is in the Troja area of Prague and is best reached by car or taxi. To be honest, we only made the trip from Vinohrady because we'd been given a voucher for 2000Kč - not by the restaurant. There was some confusion as our … Continue reading Salabka Restaurant, Prague, Czech Republic
Restaurace a kavárna Sovovy mlýny, Prague, Czech Republic
We found a special offer on the Czech slevomat.cz site - only 999Kc for a four course menu plus a bottle of wine. The restaurant is in Kampa Park (the park not the fine-dining restaurant that takes it name) and you have to walk through the park to get there. We booked in advance - … Continue reading Restaurace a kavárna Sovovy mlýny, Prague, Czech Republic
Sia Restaurant, Prague, Czech Republic
11th March 2018 update: Another great meal at Sia last night; the 'duck with broth' dim sum were amazing. This time we had two litre carafes of tap water (only two of us but thirsty - we also had wine) and were charged 75 Kč for each - the carafes have lumps of shungit (which is … Continue reading Sia Restaurant, Prague, Czech Republic
