Romantically located between Staromestska and the Venceslas square, settled in a lovely cellar dating back from the 15th century, the place gets all the assets to attract tourists. Plus one : the splendid quality of its cuisine makes it one of the top ten best restaurants in Prague. A discreet -almost secret- entrance door opens on stairs, driving to the stone vaulted cellar. Coats of arms and armours fixed on the walls participate to the medieval atmosphere of the naturally elegant dinning room.  

The virtuoso pianist softly plays the best of Burt Bacharach on his boudoir grand Petrof, while one of the most discreet though efficient staff in town treats you with like a knight.   The turtle soup is a local favorite as is the escargot in the starters department. Although straightforward beef, chicken and pork dishes are available, someone in your party must try an alligator or ostrich steak!

The place tends to be quiet and usually has most guests speaking in hushed tones. There is an impressively wide selection of Moravian wines on offer.
Stylish without ostentation, bourgeois but not conceit, actually delicious, this is the place where Bacchus and Luculus would like to dine out. 
Advanced booking is recommended: this institution is usually full for dinner, and it should be a pity to miss it during a visit to Prague.
