Prague is known for its stunning architecture and rich history, but its food scene has also become a major attraction for both leisure travellers and business events.

Across the city, restaurants are combining heritage buildings with modern hospitality, offering everything from traditional Czech cuisine and artisan bistros to large venues that can host conferences, corporate dinners and private celebrations.

Červený Jelen Combines History with Large Event Spaces

One of Prague’s standout dining venues is Červený Jelen (Red Stag), a 2,600-square-metre restaurant located inside a beautifully restored historic building.

Originally built in the 18th century for Count Špork, the property later became the headquarters of one of former Czechoslovakia’s largest banks before being transformed into a modern restaurant.

Opened in 2019, the venue spans four floors and features two gardens, six private lounges and seating for up to 700 guests.

The first floor includes six meeting rooms created from the building’s former bank offices. These spaces can be booked individually for meetings or workshops or combined for larger private events.

The private event area can host up to 90 guests for banquets or 120 guests for cocktail receptions and includes presentation equipment and private bars.

The restaurant’s main hall, housed in the former banking hall beneath an impressive glass dome, can accommodate up to 350 guests when booked exclusively.

Below ground, The Vault offers a more intimate setting for up to 140 guests, while The Clubhouse, located on the second basement level, can host up to 100 guests. Equipped with its own bar, projection facilities and entertainment space, it is well suited for corporate events and team-building activities.

For larger functions, The Vault and The Clubhouse can also be combined into one event space.

Ambiente Brings Local Flavours to Prague

Founded in 1995, Ambiente has grown into one of the Czech Republic’s best-known restaurant groups, operating more than 40 restaurants, cafés and pubs across Prague.

The group’s focus on local ingredients, Czech culinary traditions and quality hospitality has helped shape the city’s modern food scene.

Several of its concepts can be found at Prague’s Holešovice Market, offering visitors a taste of local flavours in a relaxed setting.

Naše Maso

Part butcher shop, part bistro, Naše Maso has become a favourite among locals and visitors alike.

The venue serves premium Czech meats, freshly grilled burgers, handmade sausages and its popular steak tartare, while also selling quality cuts of beef, pork and other specialty products to take home.

Skô

For something different, Skô offers a modern take on Slovak cuisine.

Led by chef Tomáš Valkovič, the restaurant reinvents traditional comfort food using seasonal ingredients. Guests can enjoy classics such as lángos, halušky and lokše in a warm, contemporary setting inspired by Slovak home cooking.

Myšák

One of Prague’s most famous pastry shops, Myšák has been serving traditional Czech desserts since 1911.

The beautifully restored café is known for its cakes, pastries and breakfast menu.

Its flagship store also includes an upstairs pastry workshop used for private events, corporate brunches and culinary workshops. Additional locations, including one at Holešovice Market, continue the brand’s long-standing baking tradition.
