It was my second visit to Prague so I was taking my time to see more than the "must see things." As I said, I stumbled onto the restaurant because I was taking in the park where artists were painting, people were reading and I pulled out my phone to use the Merlin app to identify birds that were singing. It was totally picturesque. But I wasn't hungry. So I regretfully moved on without eating there. Imagine the elation a few days later when someone in our group booked a dinner reservation for us at the same place I was regretting having missed! With a group of a dozen of us, I think someone ordered everything on the menu. We were all thrilled. We had appetizers , cocktails and entrees -- everything we had was great! The restaurant is family-owned and we were treated to the son being a primary server for our group. Now and then dad was part of the picture too and we enjoyed the added dynamic. Pretty sure the son is on point for Americans as his English was on point. They were great hosts!

The sauce seemed to have been made from a can (1 star off) as the diced tomatoes tasted different than the whole tomatoes that were added to the dish later; the whole tomatoes tasted way better. My husband got the pinsa alla diavola, which was like a spicy pepperoni pizza. It was fine, but reminded me of a pizza at a kids' birthday party (1 star off), maybe only slightly better. I made a reservation a month in advance, but did not know I had to specifically request for tables outside on the river. When we arrived, only a few outdoor tables were taken, but was told the rest were reserved, so we were seated indoors instead. When we finished our dinner, the same few outdoor tables were occupied. I don't know why the restaurant couldn't just stagger the guests for the outdoor tables according to their reservation times.

We had a choice of a five-course tasting menu, a three-course menu, or ordering a la carte - we decided to order the three course menu with the chef's suggested wine pairing. The three course menu was tartares, steaks and desserts, and everything they put in front of us was delicious - three different tartares of salmon, veal and beef; three different steaks of US beef, Australian beef and venison; and a sort of a deconstructed Pavlova with strawberry meringues, a mascarpone filling, strawberry sorbet and lemon verbena leaves. It was a really incredible meal. The bread at the beginning of the meal was excellent, the wine pairings were unique choices that matched the meal beautifully, everything was amazing. Also the wait staff were friendly and kept the meal moving nicely. My husband and I would absolutely go here again, I hope we have the opportunity someday :)

Once the lights came on the bridge and the castle, the whole scene was stunning - definitely one of the best dinner views in Prague. Service was excellent, very attentive and welcoming. We had a set meal and also ordered scallop and shrimp à la carte. The foie gras was a highlight - rich and perfectly done. My main course was pike fish, which was tasty, and the mashed potatoes with sliced tomatoes had amazing flavor. Dessert was fun with dry ice for a nice presentation. The only downside - the ravioli was too salty for my taste. Presentation overall was impressive, though, and the rest of the dishes were flavorful and well-executed. To have fine dining with a romantic view of the Charles Bridge, Mlýnec is definitely worth checking out.

To start I had the marinated salmon which was one of the best starters I have had. Complex flavours and textures are complimented by an appropriate chilli hit which brings the whole dish together perfectly. The coconut crumb was a touch of genius. Hubby had the fried peppers, they were 3 stuffed and fried peppers that he loved, I found the habanero too spicy for me. For mains I had the lamb, one of the best lamb dishes I have had. Perfectly cooked lamb, both sou vide and grilled. Accompaniments were delicious and the chilli hit of the perfect sauce made the dish sing. Hubby had the black pearl, love the theatre of it all...you sign a waiver and they present you with a tray of tissues, milk and vodka to ease the burn. The dish was beautifully presented. I managed 3 little tastes and my tummy burned for a long time after. Surprising, the flavors were excellent. Hubby ate most of it but he did suffer through it....definitely not for the faint hearted. I would be back often if I lived here! After dining at some of the worlds top rated restaurants...I can say that this is a true gem thay clearly has some mad genius at the helm, a person who understands delicate flavors and chilli and plates like a God. More people should know about this place!

My husband cannot handle spicy so I tried the habanero. I could only handle 2 bites before my mouth was on fire. For our entrees, my husband ate the chili con carne dish. Under the mashed potatoes there was some chocolate - interesting mix of flavors. I had the roast beef salad with papaya and honey mustard type dressing. We ended the meal with a chocolate tart. They provided pate and some bread "on the house" to start. I do not like pate so I didn't touch mine. The service was great overall. Great place if you want to try something other than goulash and the other Czech fare offered around town. Pro tip: they charge you for the bread basket if you eat a slice. It was like 10 crowns.

Super intimate and romantic, I found it to be absolutely beautiful. Especially knowing the history of those walls. Entering, you walk down a set of stairs then through a narrow corridor lined with red bricks on both sides. Once through, it opens up to the main dining room with dimly lit lights and candles. We're not experts on Czech foods but we know what good food tastes like and the Goulash was out of this world. Served in a bread bowl, the beef broth has deep flavors like it spent time stewing in herbs and vegetables. The meat was tender and flavorful. But the Roasted pork knuckle ( shoulder) Rustic style, mustard, fresh horseradish, garnish, bread, was the star of the show. A huge portion that could feed 3-4, the meat was fall of the bone tender and the crackling skin was eyes rolling back of head delicious! Excellent service. The waiters spoke English and Apple Pay was accepted. Happy Eating!!

We saw on the…read moreoutside display menu there was a lunch special for €7.50 for potato dumplings with ham and a dessert. We were seated quickly and it seemed that all tables came with a view which was nice! Our was farther down than most so we had a great view overlooking the city. One bad thing, there was old lipstick all over my glass and I didn't realize it until I had already drank from it... The ambience in there was pretty modern so it felt a little out of place in a very old, wooden beam structure and next to the castle/surrounding buildings. The music that was playing was also very 'clubby/hotel lobby-like'. The rest of the menu was actually quite expensive compared to the lunch special so we didn't prefer outside of that. Our food came out relatively quickly and was fine, but nothing that I would crave after leaving Prague. The dessert was a small piece of apple strudel which was also good but pretty standard. We also had to pay for tap water so FYI don't buy additional water if you already have a full bottle in your bag like I did :)

Our hotel was very close to the restaurant and we literally stumbled upon it (when quite hungry after a long travel day) and it quickly became one of my top five dining experiences ever! We visited Prague during the Christmas market season so the restaurant was glowing with holiday spirit. The staff was amazing and the food impeccable. I am still dreaming about this meal. The menu changes frequently but on this cold winter evening, we enjoyed the warm mushroom bisque, a grilled seafood dish with pasta, and the duck breast with gratin potatoes. I have never ordered duck before (other than confit on a salad) and this was "off the charts" delicious! Such a wonderful experience. I highly recommend them if you ever make it to this beautiful city!

I guess I was just confused by the menu and expected something else. I also got a couple fresh pressed juices to-go for the next morning and they were delicious! I would definitely give this place another shot next time I'm in Prague!
