Teresa U Zlate Studne

Situated on a beautiful terrace with stunning views of the city, this lovely restaurant serves some impressive looking food. Gastronomic experience means a lot of taste but small servings, so the tasting menu is a great option for those with a bigger appetite. Wine pairings are a must too – ask the staff for their help as they are very knowledgeable.

Alcron

For something a little different, try Alcron. The restaurant was opened in 1932 and still has the décor that takes you right back to the period. It’s hard to get a table here, as it only seats 24 for its delightful degustation menu – known for its Michelin Star and seafood.
