Bistro 33 refurbished their garden a few months ago - I remember Steven Trumpfheller, from the recently closed U Emy Destinnové restaurant, was cooking for the opening party barbeque. With the Summer in full swing, we thought we'd try the dinner menu. The restaurant looks inviting (the other side of that board says 'garden open'). … Continue reading Bistro 33, Vinohrady, Prague

Cool Flowers, Vinohrady, Prague
It's hard to find a good florist. I don't want to buy flowers only to find them dead after a few days. You may remember my poor experience with Belles Fleurs who not only sold me flowers that died a few days later, they also refused to refund me. Luckily I found a new shop … Continue reading Cool Flowers, Vinohrady, Prague
Momoichi Japanese Coffeeteria/Restaurant, Vinohrady, Prague, Czech Republic
Momoichi opened in Vinohrady mid-2016. They actually call themselves a 'Coffeetearia' and I'm not sure if that is a deliberate misspelling in line with the trendy theme or simply a mistake. I'd pretty much ignored Momoichi until they announced they would be running a special dim sum day on Saturday 13th January 2018. We booked … Continue reading Momoichi Japanese Coffeeteria/Restaurant, Vinohrady, Prague, Czech Republic
Hlučná samota Bar/Restaurant, Vinohrady, Prague, Czech Republic
Hlučná samota is named after a book called Příliš hlučná samota (1976) by Czech author Bohumil Hrabal. Příliš hlučná samota translates as 'too much noisy loneliness' - which I suppose could apply to any noisy bar where you visit alone and don't know anyone. The Hlučná samota website has a picture of Bohumil Hrabal with a … Continue reading Hlučná samota Bar/Restaurant, Vinohrady, Prague, Czech Republic
Pizzeria Grosseto – Náměstí Míru, Vinohrady, Prague, Czech Republic
This restaurant is part of a chain of five restaurants around Prague – although one is a bit further out in Průhonice. All offer a similar menu which is a mixture of pizza, pasta, meat and fish dishes. The Pizzeria name belies the quality of the environment, food and service – all of these are … Continue reading Pizzeria Grosseto – Náměstí Míru, Vinohrady, Prague, Czech Republic
Yuniku Charcoal BBQ, Vinohrady, Prague, Czech Republic
Yuniku only opened about a month ago. I remember the place as an unexceptional pizzeria - now it's been completely refurbished as a quality Korean BBQ. The restaurant is just a few steps from Náměstí Míru - you enter and walk down a few stairs into a large room - I think there is also another … Continue reading Yuniku Charcoal BBQ, Vinohrady, Prague, Czech Republic
Summa Cum Laude Restaurant, Vinohrady, Prague, Czech Republic – Now Closed
The Latin term 'Summa Cum Laude' (with highest honor) is traditionally used by American Universities to indicate the highest level of distinction with which an academic degree was earned. This restaurant loosely translates this as 'Eat with Honor'. The interior design continues this theme, with wallpaper reflecting mathematics, chemistry and English Lit. degree-level chalkboards. At the … Continue reading Summa Cum Laude Restaurant, Vinohrady, Prague, Czech Republic – Now Closed
Beckett’s Irish Pub and Restaurant, Vinohrady, Prague, Czech Republic
The streets of Vinohrady are full of restaurants and bars - it's a really popular area for both Czechs and Expats - plus a few tourists who decide to wander beyond the centre of Prague. I remember when this space was occupied by a pizza place called La Romantica (wasn't very good), then Knajpa (better but … Continue reading Beckett’s Irish Pub and Restaurant, Vinohrady, Prague, Czech Republic
Le Bouquet Wine Bar, Vinohrady, Prague, Czech Republic
Le Bouquet only opened a week ago - their website is still under construction. Le Bouquet is run by Alex, who many Prague locals will know as a member of the team from the excellent Wine O'clock wine bar in the centre of Prague. I guess he decided to see if the same successful mixture … Continue reading Le Bouquet Wine Bar, Vinohrady, Prague, Czech Republic
