With some imagination the Stupartska Street would look like almost Parisian. It smells French indeed, since Nils Lebens, owner of Kampa Park, Square, Hergetova Cihelna and Bazaar, annexed this once declining restaurant to his empire. Business and quality are back to the scene: the restaurant is always full of life (and guests).
Chef Laurent Picca, after some training in Baden Baden and San Diego, settled in Prague some years ago. Not so obsessed by the now quite obsolete Nouvelle Cuisine Française, he prefers to develop a somehow upgraded bistrot concept which goes with the place and our culinary tastes. His menu is rich, indeed: with, for instance, not less than 17 starters.
The new owner was born in Norway, and considers the sea like his second mother. Much effort has been done to bring the freshest ingredients into the plate. The Tournedos de Lotte (grilled monk fish), seasoned with red honey butter sauce, accompanied by vegetable rice and buttered spinach, is a best seller at CZK 695 / EURO 22. To end up your agape with a cigar: the humidifier displayed the best brands. Took a “Sancho Panza”: its sweet, complex savor goes well with a glass of Cointreau or a Cognac, of course. Very classy service!
