    I am so SO glad we found this place on Yelp! We went here for dinner after a long drive and a lovely day of sightseeing in Prague and we were enchanted by the tasting menu. The 5 course tasting menu was 30 euros and worth every cent. The service was perfect, attentive but not pushy. And the food was fantastic. I absolutely loved the decor, which was low key and did not take itself too seriously (the common theme of chasing errant vegetables and poultry was light hearted and made me smile.) The menu was short, and did not go into details about what each dish entailed. And that was OK, because everything was absolutely delicious. We started with a chicken liver pate with pea greens and lovely mustard and bread. Next came a savory morsel of fish (I think trout, but not sure) with a bean salad. Then a perfectly cooked beef medallion with amazing mushroom sauce and a creamy, smooth, light mashed potato. This mashed potato was extraordinary in its simplicity, creamy texture, and great taste, redefined what a mashed potato could be. I could eat this beef forever and be content. After the beef came chicken, with a ginger/carrot salad and pureed squash. This was the most perfectly prepared chicken breast I have ever had. It was perfectly juicy and moist, no dryness at all, and a texture more like a chicken thigh than a leg. It made me realize that I have been cooking chicken wrong, and inspired me to do better. After coming home, I've revised how I cook chicken, and am much happier with my life, all due to this chicken breast at Nota Bene. After all of these courses, we finished off with a very nice piece of mango cheesecake. It was quite a bit of food, but actually not too much since we were hungry and had spent hours walking around during the day. Everything on the menu was relatively simple, but extremely fresh, well prepared, and presented. It all worked together and was the perfect mix of modern and traditional. I could see elements of traditional cooking like the pate, the bean salad, the beef with mushrooms, but it was re-imagined, lighter, fresher, not greasy. Full of colors, textures, contrasts. Modern influences from both East and West. Just, sublime. I will recommend this place to anyone I know going to Prague, and will eat here any time I'm in town.

    Fresh Linguine with red sauce

    Very nice little cafe tucked away on a side road. Fills up at lunch so seems to be a local favorite. They have both Czech beers and wine. They have lunch specials- I got the linguine with red sauce which had fresh made pasta and was quite good. My wife got the lamb dish which she enjoyed. The staff here was very friendly and helpful.

    Great local cider!

    This was a trendy place with a modern European twist to it located right in the I.P. Pavlova area. The decor was very nice and had plenty of seating for guests. The staff were very kind toward us. We had a group of 8 and they were able to accommodate our group right away. For drinks, I ordered a Czech Cider called 12 Prag Cider (around 70 czk). It was pretty delicious and I loved getting to try and a local cider! The also had a cute carafe for water filled with mint leaves. It was good! The menu was very limited to around 5-8 dishes, but a variety of options. It included smoked trout, salmon, chicken, duck, and pork belly. We ordered a soup which had a certain type of squash and some curry spices to it. The soup was very good! I enjoyed the combination of spices. It was around 150 czk. It also came with a basket of bread that was decent but not amazing. For my main course, I ordered the Chicken Supreme with chorizo, green beans, potatoes, a tomato purée type of sauce (all around 338 czk). It was very good! I enjoyed it a lot. I wasn't completely impressed with the tomato purée sauce, but the dish overall was really good. The chicken was seasoned well and cooked to perfection with a perfect crisp to it. It was plated beautifully! Overall, I enjoyed visiting this place. It had a great vibe to it, nice staff, and quality food! If you're ever in Prague, this place is definitely a great restaurant to try out! Also, the people in the restaurant were very awkward toward us being different. I FELT like I was different there. So that kind of made me feel like I didn't belong. Besides that, it was fine because I wanted to ignore it.

    Fantastic presentation and AMAZING taste. This place is si cool and low-key-you'll love it! The Filet Mingon was fantastic!

    Pork belly, pork cheeks, salmon! Yum~!!!

    The staff was very nice. Our first night in Prague we had no idea what to order and they were very helpful. The food was so delicious, we ordered a second round. Our stomachs were not as big as our eyes. The beer and wine was also good. I give it a 4 star only because they didn't accept card. (I changed it to 5 stars because I quickly realized that most places in Prague don't accept card.)

    Red Ale and Zitna IPA!

    Awesome find. Food is amazing. Device impeccable. Small and cozy just how we like it. CASH ONLY.

The sauce seemed to have been made from a can (1 star off) as the diced tomatoes tasted different than the whole tomatoes that were added to the dish later; the whole tomatoes tasted way better. My husband got the pinsa alla diavola, which was like a spicy pepperoni pizza. It was fine, but reminded me of a pizza at a kids' birthday party (1 star off), maybe only slightly better. I made a reservation a month in advance, but did not know I had to specifically request for tables outside on the river. When we arrived, only a few outdoor tables were taken, but was told the rest were reserved, so we were seated indoors instead. When we finished our dinner, the same few outdoor tables were occupied. I don't know why the restaurant couldn't just stagger the guests for the outdoor tables according to their reservation times.

To start I had the marinated salmon which was one of the best starters I have had. Complex flavours and textures are complimented by an appropriate chilli hit which brings the whole dish together perfectly. The coconut crumb was a touch of genius. Hubby had the fried peppers, they were 3 stuffed and fried peppers that he loved, I found the habanero too spicy for me. For mains I had the lamb, one of the best lamb dishes I have had. Perfectly cooked lamb, both sou vide and grilled. Accompaniments were delicious and the chilli hit of the perfect sauce made the dish sing. Hubby had the black pearl, love the theatre of it all...you sign a waiver and they present you with a tray of tissues, milk and vodka to ease the burn. The dish was beautifully presented. I managed 3 little tastes and my tummy burned for a long time after. Surprising, the flavors were excellent. Hubby ate most of it but he did suffer through it....definitely not for the faint hearted. I would be back often if I lived here! After dining at some of the worlds top rated restaurants...I can say that this is a true gem thay clearly has some mad genius at the helm, a person who understands delicate flavors and chilli and plates like a God. More people should know about this place!

My husband cannot handle spicy so I tried the habanero. I could only handle 2 bites before my mouth was on fire. For our entrees, my husband ate the chili con carne dish. Under the mashed potatoes there was some chocolate - interesting mix of flavors. I had the roast beef salad with papaya and honey mustard type dressing. We ended the meal with a chocolate tart. They provided pate and some bread "on the house" to start. I do not like pate so I didn't touch mine. The service was great overall. Great place if you want to try something other than goulash and the other Czech fare offered around town. Pro tip: they charge you for the bread basket if you eat a slice. It was like 10 crowns.

The place is right next to the Charles Bridge very nice and a few steps from our hotel. We had a tequila cosmo and gin martini. Our table was at the window looking right at the bridge. Scallop ceviche and potato soup both were wonderful. This place is highly recommended in Michelin although it has not achieved a star. For mains we got veal filet mignon stroganoff and a perch. We also ordered a Czech Pinot. Quite tasty. We split a dessert some ice cream and fancy flavors. Service was excellent. Ambiance is high endy-trendy with a lot of black and silver. This is a great place with fabulous food and a perfect location. We always thought that service was included in most euro restaurants but we have found on this trip that is not the case. Here the bill stated service Not included which we confirmed with our server we left 10%. Total for the two of us with tip ~6400 CZK (US$300.). Mark & Nancy.

For two years I went without such treats as smoked veal tartare and fois gras, but wait no more!

The amuse bouche - always amazing, a pepper gazpacho (I don't even like pepper), and a dessert amuse bouche came as well (ginger soup with balsamic pearls). I don't even like ginger. Somehow everything they make is excellent, I imagine you could serve me anything here and I'd enjoy it. The duck confit was phenomenal, dish presentation, service, everything excellent. Seating is comfortable and room is beautiful. Everything you look at, taste and smell- is exquisite. This is, quite frankly, one of the best restaurants in the world, and I'm grateful I could bring my parents and kids to see the looks on their faces and hear them 'wow!'. The watermelon granita dessert was so good that even my mom who hates watermelon, loved it.

Be aware that this is a Michelin star restaurant and it's fine dining, so reservations are a must. Don't expect to just walk in. And to experience the food, I always order the full tasting menu. Any shortened version is just not enough, in my opinion. In addition to the full degustation menu, we also ordered a full non-alcoholic pairing. Every dish was like a work of art. It's hard to pick just one dish. However, the best was probably the deer. One of the chefs even prepares it in front of you.

I truly could live happily on toast, boiled potatoes, fruit, and Diet Coke. I'm also both a vegetarian and someone with a fairly limited palate, so I didn't think Field would be a hit for me. WOW was this an amazing experience! First: gorgeous space. Comfy tables, set far enough apart so we didn't feel crowded, and it didn't get loud. Beautiful artwork on the ceiling. Bright. Cheery. We loved it. We are visiting our son who lives a few hours south of Prague. My husband and son are fabulously adventurous eaters and they gifted me with this outing to Field, a Friday lunch reservation at 1:30 pm. Lunch seems the perfect time to come as the restaurant was not totally booked and we had so much attention from staff, including the front desk, wait staff, sommelier, and bartender. But I'm guessing dinner would be a blast, too. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive. Our lead waitress was Michaela, and she was the most polished and professional server I've ever met!! We felt so well cared for. In our 3 person party we had me: a vegetarian, and our son who has severe food allergies, to peanuts, pine nuts, and most nuts. 2 of the 3 don't drink any alcohol. Amazingly, it was not a problem at all. In fact, they were prepared!! There was a vegetarian prix fixe menu, with both a large and a smaller option, plus we could order the 'non-alcoholic' version of the wine pairings. So we did. My son had phoned ahead to inform them about his food allergies, and Michaela and the bartender confirmed them when we were seated. The staff was so welcoming and completely knowledgeable about ingredients. They did a fantastic job keeping my son safe, like bringing out his dessert first so it would come close to the 5 other pastries that included nuts. The bartender made him a special cocktail that was hazelnut-free. The 'pesto' was made with pumpkin seeds instead of pine nuts. The staff told us the ingredients of every single dish and cocktail!! And literally showed us! Our waitress brought over a tray that included things like snails, crawfish, and artichokes, and then she told us where they'd sourced them in Czechia! Except the crawfish, as we learned they are a protected animal in Czechia, so they are brought in from Germany. We loved that part, hearing where all of these beautiful ingredients came from. I'll include a few photos from both my vegetarian and their regular prix fixe adventures. The pea soup was my favorite! My son said the deer main dish was the 'best thing I've ever eaten, in my entire life'. I didn't take photos of the non-alcoholic cocktails, but those were lovely. Especially a super fun foamy pomegranate one!
