Matching the crisp English setting of the hotel in which it resides, the Austrian-managed Hradcany is the most elegant choice this side of the castle. The menu lists vary depending on the season. At this writing, they offer delicious roasted veal with corn or tasty rump steak with pistachio crust. For dessert try their apple mousse.

The service sets the standard for Prague hotels, and the new lunch sitting is sure to attract a solid clientele to this jewel beyond the castle gates. Just open the menu, and you'll find a Roasted Saddle of  Wild Boar which is a specialty of chef Josef Stangl. This course is easy to find anywhere in town; but at the HRADCANY they will cook it a very sophisticated way. Flambéed with Calvados. Served with a rich sauce, nut croquettes and glazed apples. This simply makes the difference. Another tasty alternative is the Degustation Menu: a four course banquet, with one glass of selected wine per dish and Czech liqueur Becherovka as a digestive.

The elegant pinky dinning room is relaxing. Waiters take care of your intimacy, though most anticipating. Ranked in the last edition of the Michelin guide book as one of the leading restaurants in the Czech Republic.
