Restaurant Pod Věží

It was our first dinner in Prague. Restaurant Pod Věží is local cuisine with a French influence, a bit more upscale. And we loved it.
For starter, we had snails, and roasted piglet belly. We liked the piglet belly the most. Crispy and well flavored.
For main, we had pork knuckle, duck leg confit, trout. All were good. The pork knuckle was such a big portion!
For dessert, we had apple with ice cream, again, very good.

The best meal I had while in Prague. Had a recommendation from a friend and they knocked it out of the park.

The staff were very professional, polite and made sure all of our needs were attended to.

We had the romaine heart salad as a starter, the special for the night which was a beef strip loin cooked to perfection, the rolled chicken which was melt in your mouth perfect, and a very refreshing chocolate tangerine sorbet.

This is an absolute must visit, very convenient off the Charles bridge but not over packed.

First night in Prague after 17 years and I stumbled into this incredible gem of a restaurant.

You have to come here if you’re in Prague, simply the best food on this euro-trip.

Beer tartare was easily the best one I’ve had in the world.

We also ordered the piglet chop for starters, it was tender and delicious.

Mains were duck confit and lamb belly, both were cooked to perfection and seasoned just perfectly. The lamb skin was crispy with a soft fatty meat hidden underneath.

Of course Frank our server was the kindest and most responsive, we had just a perfect time.

The food was top draw the staff were amazing taking their time to talk through the dishes. Would highly recommend right next to the Charles bridge and very reasonable price wise, don’t miss it!

I was in Prague 8 years ago and found this place, even left a review on tripadvisor on how good it was. Long story short, I came back to Prague with a mission to come back here, and the food and service haven't changed one bit.
Great food! Great prices!

This place has become very special for us, and it is worth coming back again and again. It’s our third time in Prague, and we always visit this amazing restaurant—we couldn’t be happier. However, this time something went wrong with our reservation. When we arrived, we discovered that the table wasn’t reserved for our chosen time slot. Nevertheless, the situation was resolved very quickly, and the hostess found a table for us even though it was full of people. Thank you so much!

For starters, my husband had duck liver crème brûlée (which I loved), and for the main course, he had caraway duck leg confit. I opted for snails as a starter and grilled deer loin as a main. I requested the deer loin with mashed potatoes, and it was such a good combination for me. The sauce in this dish is very distinctive, and the meat was cooked very nicely. I highly recommend trying this dish; I was very impressed!

The service was top-notch. We had a waiter, Martin, who is very knowledgeable and professional. I hope this place maintains the same high-quality standards in food and service—it is truly one of our favorite restaurants!

Absolutely the best meal I had while in Prague. Service was incredible, professional, friendly and accommodating. I ordered the whipped goat cheese starter and the deer goulash off of their lunch menu. Restaurant is small but cozy. Would absolutely recommend to anyone.

Felt very welcome from the beginning. We didn't have a reservation but they were able to squeeze us in. Food was delicious and the team were excellent! Nice music, nice atmosphere, nice people, nice wine and of course nice food.

Absolute gem🤩 Randomly discovered this place and had 2 dinners in a row. To all the mushroom lovers the risotto is a must try, so good! Appetizers, stakes are also delicious.

I recently visited Restaurant Pod Věží with my partner on our trip to prague. We are huge foodies so were hoping for something delicious and that is exactly what we got. We thought the prices were extremely reasonable for the quality. The presentation was beautiful and the flavours are up there with some of the best we’ve had.
The service we received from Frank was incredible, he paired our steaks with a beautiful local wine that was delicious and talked to us about the local wine region which was very interesting to know.
We loved it so much we came back on our last night!

This is my last dinner in Prague, so I chose a Czech-style restaurant, Restaurace Pod Věží

🏰
The decor of this place is quaint and neat, with cream-colored brick walls and arches, complemented by soft lighting and candles—clearly a reliable European eatery. We ordered 2 appetizers, 2 main courses, and 2 bottles of sparkling water; the portions were quite generous, and we couldn't manage dessert.

Garlic Butter Roasted Snails

This is a classic French dish, but in fact, Czech traditional Christmas cuisine includes dishes made with snails. Czech Republic is also an important exporter of snails in Europe. The snails, roasted with garlic butter, sizzle and crunch, paired with crispy French bread, are very appetizing.

🍒
Duck Liver Pâté Crème Brûlée with Sour Cherries

I've had duck liver pâté and crème brûlée separately, but never had them together. The velvety-smooth duck liver pâté resembles the top layer of crème brûlée, with a sugary crust formed by torching. It's accompanied by sour cherries to balance the richness—absolutely irresistible.

🐂
Red Wine-Braised Beef Cheek

Beef cheek is a part I really enjoy—rich in collagen, tender, and delicious. It's served with a red wine sauce, sweet pickled onions, flavorful bacon bits, and chewy spaetzle. It's truly mouthwatering.

🍖
Roasted Pork Knuckle

Roasted pork knuckle is a Czech classic, and theirs is relatively lean with a moderate portion. The skin is crispy, the meat is firm, and it's served with mustard seed mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables—a delightful combination.

⭐
It's worth mentioning that the service is excellent. The complimentary bread and chive sour cream are delicious, and after the meal, they even offered two digestive drinks to aid digestion.

Found this restaurant while out exploring. One of our best meals of the trip. The deer is amazing. My wife and I really enjoyed the whipped goat cheese and my wife enjoyed her wild boar beef cheeks lunch special. Food was fantastic and service was great.

Very cozy restaurant, we were 7 people and reserved 2 weeks prior to arrival, the table was big and fit us all well. The service was great and the food was excellent, very local options with great presentations and taste 😋 definitely worth the visit!

Every single dish we tried are delicious! Highly recommended! I love everything especially the goat cheese!

One of our best meals in Europe. Beautiful flavour pairings and exceptional quality produce. Very reasonably priced, lovely atmosphere and presentation.

We decided to eat our last meal from our visit to Praha here. It was an amazing experience. The food is a little expensive but definitely worth it! The food is very tasteful, like a flavour bomb! Bravo👏🏼 !

The waiters are fast, friendly, and provide the best service! Thank you!

Classy restaurant with reasonable prices, food was very good and delicious, service was perfect and cosy ambience! I highly recommend

Great food at Prague

By the bridge at scenery areas
Good place for bigger groups.
Indoor and outdoor.
Good staff.
We tried different items in the menu and like them all

Amazing place! The food was great, they have a lot of good wines as well. We tried 2 starters, 2 main dishes and dessert. Everything was perfect. This place doesn’t seem touristic at all even thought it is located in one of the most touristic places in Prague ;) not forget to mention wonderful staff. We really felt there like at home :)

Wonderful truffel risotto. The truffel was a really splendid combination with the risotto. I really enjoyed it.

My friend had the fish with cauliflower. Reaaally good as well
