The Top 45 Restaurants Near LEVITATE

The bar in the cellar comes first: aperitifs and nibbles among exposed old brick before the team walks you upstairs for the tasting menu proper. Nordic technique, Czech ingredients, and Asian spice from the chef's own background make for a combination that doesn't really exist anywhere else. Twelve or eighteen courses, a long communal table or smaller rounds, and a Michelin star keeping the room quietly self-satisfied. Prague's Vinohrady neighborhood hides it well.

Seafood cooked with the kind of restraint that takes confidence, no heavy sauces, no theatrical plating, just clean product made to taste like itself. Aromi is a sleek Italian restaurant on a handsome Vinohrady square, split across two rooms that both feel considered rather than corporate. The wine list is long and sensibly priced by Prague standards. It ranked 30th on 50 Top Italy's global list, which is a strange thing to find two hours from the sea.

A film projected on the wall introduces the farmers before you've touched your fork, which tells you where this modern Czech restaurant's head is at. Upstairs in a light-filled loft space, the kitchen is fully open and the seasonal menu runs three or five courses, built on local produce with a quiet precision that never tips into fuss.

Langoš topped with sheep's bryndza cheese and smoked cracklings from the house smokehouse is a pretty good argument for sitting down at one of the long wooden benches here. This is a loud, unpretentious Czech pub that takes traditional inn cooking seriously, and the Bib Gourmand crowd fills it accordingly. The větrník, a choux pastry with caramel and vanilla cream, is the dessert to order. Beer or wine both fit.

1. Michelin Guide Bib Gourmand

A Michelin-starred tasting menu restaurant in a handsome old building in central Prague, where the kitchen is fully open and the L-shaped room means half the tables get a front-row seat. The vaulted ceiling and chandelier situation is doing a lot of work, but the menu stays grounded: seasonal Czech ingredients, modern technique, nothing trying too hard to impress. Tiles in the kitchen, echoed on the floor and the menu cover, which is either charming or obsessive, depending on your mood.

A wine rack that doubles as a design statement anchors the minimalist dining room at this contemporary Czech restaurant on a quiet residential street. The kitchen works with carefully sourced ingredients, turning them into dishes that feel rooted in local tradition without being nostalgic about it.

A walk-in wine fridge you can see from your seat sets the tone at this one-Michelin-star Italian restaurant tucked into the Old Town. The cooking leans North Italian, with breads, pastas, and ice creams made in-house. Turbot is a recurring reason to check the daily specials, or you can hand the wheel to the chef and take a five-to-seven-course tasting menu. There's a private chef's table for eight in the basement, and cobblestones out front when the weather cooperates.

Half-charred tables and fieldwork tools on the walls set the tone at this sleek, tasting-menu restaurant in Prague's Old Town. The kitchen leans hard into Czech ingredients and seasonal produce, sending out courses that occasionally arrive tableside with a flambé or a curl of smoke from a box, because why not. A Michelin-starred spot where the sommelier actually seems to enjoy the pairing conversation rather than enduring it.

1. Michelin Guide 1 Star

Ten seats around a horseshoe counter, and the chefs are close enough that you'll learn their names by the third course.

A converted historical townhouse split across two floors, Portfolio is the kind of international restaurant where clean lines and warm materials make the room feel considered without feeling stiff.

The open grill runs right through the room, and what comes off it changes daily, which keeps regulars guessing. This contemporary Italian restaurant sits just outside the old town, its exposed brick and concrete walls dressed with vintage furniture and wine racks stacked floor to ceiling.

Alma Prague landed at number 25 on Europe's 50 Best Bars list, which feels about right for a place that refuses to be just one thing. It's a contemporary restaurant and bar in Nové Město with an open kitchen, a courtyard terrace, and a cocktail list serious enough to carry the evening long after dinner. A Michelin Bib Gourmand keeps the food honest, and the sourdough alone, sourced from a local Libeň bakery, sets the tone.

A casual Asian-leaning restaurant in Petrská where the menu shifts with the seasons and leans on regional, organic ingredients as much as possible. The kitchen does à la carte or set menus, with a classic and a vegetarian route, and the lunch set is priced for a weekday habit.

A short walk from the Vltava, this snug Czech restaurant shares its space with a working bakery you can see from your table, which tells you most of what you need to know about the bread.

Mismatched chairs, old floorboards, figurines on shelves, and enough books to suggest the owner couldn't quite decide between restaurant and antique shop: Divinis is an Italian restaurant tucked into the Old Town, spread across several levels in a way that feels accumulated rather than designed. The open kitchen turns out refined Italian cooking, and the staff will happily walk you through a wine list that leans heavily Italian, which at a place like this feels right.

The terrace tables put the astronomical clock directly in your sightline, which is either a feature or a tourist trap depending on your mood, though the interior makes a strong case for itself either way. Soaring nave-like ceilings, a glass roof, and stone walls set the scene for a contemporary restaurant with classical roots, where the open kitchen turns out dishes like pike-perch with semolina porridge. The vaulted cellar sells house-made baked goods if you're stocking up.

A small photo album at every seat tells the story of the two brothers behind this counter-restaurant, which sets the tone nicely. Diners sit at a U-shaped bar watching the kitchen work through a seasonal five-course Vietnamese menu built on family recipes and a life split between Hanoi and Prague. The sommelier takes the wine pairing seriously, though cocktails and non-alcoholic pairings are both on offer.

Four courses, a Moravian-leaning wine list, and a Berlin artist's light installations rounding out the decor.

A terrace shaded by old trees sits outside, and inside, the walls are thick with vintage photographs and pendant lamps in a neighborhood restaurant near the zoo.

A working vineyard on the edge of Prague, with roots going back to medieval winemaking, houses this modern tasting menu restaurant. Old beams and quarry stone meet clean contemporary furniture, and the first-floor gallery under the open gable roof has the best view of the vines.

A small restaurant tucked into greenery on the edge of the city, right beside its sibling spot, U Matěje. A handful of tables look directly into the open kitchen, where a young team runs an ambitious ten-course surprise menu in the evenings and a tighter four-course lunch. The wine list runs to around 800 bottles, which is doing a lot of heavy lifting for a room this size. Book weeks ahead online; turning up on a whim is not an option here.

The groin-vaulted ceiling and all-white interior were once a château's stables, which tells you something about what a long way the space has come. This is a two-Michelin-star tasting menu restaurant outside Prague, where the chef's set menu runs six, ten, or somewhere in between, drawing on regional ingredients and childhood memory. The kitchen team serves most dishes themselves and explains the thinking, so dinner moves more like a conversation than a performance.

1. Michelin Guide 2 Stars

A country restaurant in a quiet Prague suburb where the name translates to "grandma's garden," and the kitchen makes good on the promise.
