Milada
At the end of last year, Michelin chef Ondřej Sahajdák and his wife Šárka opened an inconspicuous neo bistro in the trendy quarter of Holešovice (near Letná park). The bistro is unusual in its minimalist design, friendly personnel and marvellous food. Although the menu contains traditional Czech meals, such as duck breast with cabbage or catfish with caraway seeds, you are in for an unsurpassed eating experience. And why did Mr and Mrs Sahajdák decide to open their bistro in Holešovice and not in the city centre? The pair lives in this quarter and thus decided to offer the local inhabitants something unusual. Reactions on the social networks show that they have definitely been successful.
Next Door by Imperial
A modern Czech bistro, brimming with refined details. That’s how you could characterize in a nutshell the new venture of the probably best-known Czech television chef, Zdeněk Pohlreich. Even the interior itself, designed by Italian architect Luciano Belcapo, gets plenty of admiration – the master room with its glass ceiling gives the place plenty of natural light, and from your table you get a clear view of the ebullient goings on in the generously conceived kitchen. And what about the food? Here, Czech cuisine stays true to its roots, while boldly unafraid to experiment with diverse flavours.
La Bogetta Line
A snippet of Italy emerged a few weeks ago just by the Masarykovo train station. Already the fifth bistro by Riccardo Lucque, it also offers a shop with Italian delicacies hard to find elsewhere. You can partake of Altamura bread, fresh pasta, prosciutto, cheeses, desserts; the list of treats goes on and on. What’s more, they do excellent Italian coffee, by Gianni Frasi, which is sure to warm your heart on cold winter days.
