    Eska, baked goods
    William C.

    We walked from our hotel, the Hilton, looking for a restaurant where the people from Prague eat. We asked several locals are we're directed here. This is a comfortable restaurant where you review the menu and then go to the counter to order. The food was good, not great. We sat outside and there is great energy among the diners-both inside and out. The best dishes we ordered were the Asparagus soup and breakfast Eska. The soup wasn't warm enough but the taste was great. My wife ordered a fermented soft drink that was extremely refreshing. I had the Dva Kohouti, which translates to "2 rooster beer". It was pretty good. The beer is in can, I prefer draft beer, there's lots of it in Prague. My main dish-potatoes in ash-which was potatoes in cream with small pieces of smoked salmon was a bit disappointing.

    From the eska breakfast, the mushroom dish was great. Everything else was ordinary including the bread. The seating outside is pretty. The kombucha was good.

    I visited this restaurant with my girlfriend. This was her second time, but mine first. It's far from the old town, but nothing like Bolt or Uber can take you. We were greeted by a cute host, and she pointed us upstairs, where all the dining tables were located. We were greeted by another host, who showed us our table. The process could have been smoother. The service was alright because my server forgot to bring my beer, so I gave it 4 stars. But the food was good. I ordered the 2 serving with 2 wine that pairs with your food. But for wine, the sommelier gets to pick it. I ordered the Re-hydrated beetroot for a starter, it was delicious with a little acidity and powerful vinegar flavor, but I liked it. The Main entree I ordered Hanger Steak. They cooked it rare. The texture was nice and not chewy. It had some blood from the meat. I prefer medium rare. 4/5 I would go back but ask them if I can have the steak at different cooked a little longer and have one host do all, not hand you off.

    One of the most intriguing stops on our food tour, partly because it's located in a more residential neighborhood that is two stops on the metro from the city center. Lovely restaurant on two levels with stairs and as you go up the stairs, you can look down into the kitchen to see what's going on and how clean it is. Here's what we had. Amazing bread baked in the shop with a salted butter SERVED ON A ROCK. How damned cool is that? Potatoes cooked in ashes with a cream and leek sauce called "kefir" that is some sort of creamed yogurt. The potatoes were amazing. Roast chicken breast with cabbage. Beautiful rich flavor, well cooked and delicious. I'd eat this all day. A gin and tonic with their house-distilled gin with their house-made tonic, to which they added carrot, beet, apple and a grape. It was delicious! I'm absolutely a fan!

    I've giving this five stars because my vegetarian dining partner absolutely loved it. I was disappointed in the potatoes in ash since I kept reading how good this was and it wasn't that great, so I would take half a star off for that, but I'm rounding up. The food is very tasty, and presented in a unique way. Just get the tasting menu, and don't try to put in an extra order of potatoes in ash like I did because you've read everywhere that this is the dish to get. It is not. Try focusing on all the different flavors of the other dishes, that were all very good. I didn't find the area sketchy either. It was fine ubering in and out of there. If you're from a big city, this place is just another fine dining spot, but in Prague. If you're from anywhere else, it would probably one of the best meals you've ever had in your life.

    Came here for a dunch around 3:30pm. We had reservations for dinner, but got too hungry and came early. Pros: - beautiful open airy space - seated immediately - very accommodating and friendly staff (we ordered the ice cream 7minutes past the cut off time of 1600hrs and they agreed to make the ice cream for us anyway) - food is amazing (need to try the whipped cream and potatoes) Notes: - goes in most of Europe, water comes with a small charge - pay up front at the side of the kitchen

    The experience at Eska was full of contradictions in sight and taste. Setting A sketch neighborhood and across from a concert venue is what greets you when you walk up, but inside is a vibrant kitchen with hard working chefs. Walk upstairs for dinner and you leave the active kitchen and feel like you might be in a cafeteria or casual dining - ie order and put a number on table. Waitstaff All were professional, courteous and responsive. They worked well as a team. Sommelier knew her wines as well. But some who delivered the food could not fully explain some of the dishes. I will chalk that up to language differences. Food As noted, a lot of hard working and well meaning chefs. The food often looked good but lacked flavor and/or texture. We had the 5 course tasting menu. 3 of the 4 dishes had capers. Disclaimer- I am not the biggest fan of capers, but eat them as chef would want. That said, unless it was gourmet capers season, I would have preferred a different way to approach some of the flavor builds. We were unimpressed with the signature potato appetizer. There was so much charcoal on the potatoes that the white sauce turned the dish to a dingy gray color once they were cut up. The carrot dish was a bore. Carrots are not the most exciting food to feature to start with. The sweetness of the fig jam worked, but this is more what you put next to a main, than a stand alone app. The chicken entree was - chicken. Nothing bad, nothing good. I would pass on this place unless you are seeing a concert.

    Fermented soft drinks
    Aimee D.

    THE. MOST. AMAZING dining experience in Prague. We were completely blown away! We came here on a recommendation from a friend of mine, and did I mention we were blown away? Potatoes in ash. If you've never had this, well, go ahead and book your ticket to the Czech Republic. It sounds intimidating, but it's just referencing how the potatoes are cooked. This dish is so hearty and comforting, made with potatoes, smoked fish, dried egg yolk, and kefir. Imagine the creamiest potato soup that's satisfying in ways you couldn't even imagine. *sigh* Eska is so cool because the bottom level is more coffee shop + bakery, and the top floor is the restaurant. You want reservations, for sure. It was also cool to see such an industrial vibe amongst the typical Beauty and the Beast Prague architecture. I fell in love with the Breakfast Eska: fermented wheat, mushrooms, eggs, bread, ham, horseradish, and an accompanying "soft drink." The fermented soft drinks were SO interesting, and we tried the apple cinnamon and asparagus. Sounds crazy but both of them were so good. the omelet was also wonderful, but the potatoes in ash were the star (in case you couldn't tell.) I've been waiting to use the following pun forever: you need to "czech" this place out. I hate myself for that but it seems fitting. Thanks for a truly unique and special dining experience!

    Loved Eska in Praha! This is the place to come for breakfast. It is a little off the beaten path, but it's an easy Uber ride away and so worth a visit. Perfect eggs are hard to accomplish, and they nailed it here at Eska. The bread basket breakfast was a terrific share for the table and included a modern take on Czech bread classics. The expresso drinks were expertly made (at the upstairs drinks counter, so fun!) and delicious. Each dish was modern, simple but expertly prepared and locally sourced, the space itself is light and beautiful, and the service is professional and attentive. I believe this a Bib Gourmand recognized spot, which is a nice bonus, and its clearly well deserved. Come here!

    Creamy ashy cheesy potato soup
    Anne R.

    Locally sourced wine pairings and dishes in rustic style, set within a warehouse atmosphere that makes it easy to be causal. On the ground floor, you walk into what looks like an open kitchen and take-out counter, but to the right is a host stand that offers seated dining upstairs. We had a party of around 20ppl and reserved in advance with a set menu of three courses served with three drinks. Delicious complimentary bread and sparkling water was provided on the table as we arrived. Our first course was charred baked potatoes in a sour cream and onion style sauce that could also double as a creamy potato soup, served with a lighter bodied and spicy Pinot Noir from the Brno area. Second course was a baked chicken and vegetable dish that was juicy and buttery with a small bit of breading and extra seasoning, paired with a buttery Oaked white wine. Dessert course was an apple tart covered in a bourbon cream sauce and served with a dark espresso roast. All dishes were excellent- and the chef was great about accommodating people who dietary restrictions like dairy intolerance and vegetarian requirements.

    Excellent and inventive breakfast. Service was professional and the staff speak English.

    Came here with a great food tour. We were seated at chef's tables where we can see how they prepare our dishes. The freshly made bread ( bake fresh everyday ) and butter ( I wish I can buy and ship the butter home ) were excellent and the rest were just ok.

The food came out after about 7 minutes. The bread looked beautiful while maintaining a soft inside and crisp outside. The spread with burrata was also a pleasant sight with glowing piece of cheese contrasted by autumn colors including the pomegranate, balsamic caviar, and pepper spread. The food tasted delicious with the creamy burrata contrasted by the sweet and smoky pepper spread. Such a pleasant cafe located in Prague 7. At the time of writing this, there was some construction being done outside so seating inside may be your best bet. Nonetheless, the atmosphere and food was incredible here which fostered one of the better experiences I've had at a cafe in Prague.

How does that even happen? On the other side of things, the expresso drinks were adequate, the egg dishes were enjoyable, the orange juice was fresh squeezed and the brown bread and butter that comes out (complementary) with breakfast is wonderful. If you do opt to come here, head to egg dishes, their bread and expresso, and away from their not good pancakes.) (Wish they would discontinue or replace the pancakes here. These hard, heavy, cold pancakes bring their morning meal average down a level, considering the other dishes here are a-okay.)
