If you're craving some delicious steak in Prague, and want a rest from meat in a cream sauce with dumplings, this is your place! Monarch knows their dry aging game and offers both the USDA American stuff as well as local Czech beef. Had to go for the local dry-aged bone-in ribeye and loved every bite. It was perfectly cooked and big enough to share, and I definitely couldn't have finished it on my own, unless I visited one of the many cannabis shops nearby...lol Prague is pretty affordable in general meal-wise, but this place was closer to American steakhouse prices... think about $80 for the steak, and worth it for its quality. Like most European restaurants, the early bird gets a table as by 8pm, the place goes from empty to packed, so make a reservation if you can. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did! read more

Fantastic experience at Monarch Restaurant in Prague. We ordered the ribeye and the New York steak--both were exceptionally delicious and perfectly cooked. Viktor was an outstanding server: attentive, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable, especially when it came to wine pairings. Truly elevated the entire evening. Highly recommend. read more

There's something about steak in Europe and it's really never good. This isn't either. But the difference here is that the service was excellent!!! Our waiter was great and took great care of us and the sommelier was first rate. The restaurant itself was really uncomfortably hot and we were seated in the back of the restaurant which was much cooler but empty. It was really pricy for food that wasn't very good. If it wasn't for the stellar service and wine it would have been awful. read more

Amazing food and wine selection. Viktor was extra knowledgeable and his recommendations have been too notch.

Nice quiet spot located away from the tourist buzz of the main square. We had the Dry aged steak tasting and were offered a choice of USDA or Czech. We went with Czech since I live in the US and can get USDA steak anytime. After we had dined I was even more confident we made the better selection having viewed what the comparison in the dry aged freezer, the Czech option definitely looked fresher. For starters we had the bone marrow and the carpaccio. The bone marrow wasn't something to write home about but the Carpaccio was fantastic. The servers were very attentive and although they didn't have a great cocktail selection their wine options made up for it. read more

Wow! Fabulous service and outstanding food all in a cool space a few blocks away from the maddening crowd. Michelin recommended too. And the wine selection was top notch. Day 15 away from America and I needed a burger and not more steaks. Super tasty. Shrimp appetizer was perfect. Added a bottle of Czech chard to sample their local best. What a wonderful meal and experience! read more

Pohostinec Monarch - Tasty medium rare ground steak burger and my healthy side salad and a bottle of Czech chard. Well balanced meal! - Czech Near Me - Prague, Puerto Rico

Rare steakhouse outside of the U.S. serving Angus and advertised "USDA" grade steaks. Hits the spot if you're craving for a steak dinner. Ok in my PoV, highly overpriced for what you get if you compare to the states.... read more

Monarch Gastrobar is a gorgeous Spanish tapas restaurant in the heart of Old Town. There are wine bottles shelved floor to ceiling in the main room. The more private back room has a wall of framed portraits of monarchs, nobility and obscure aristocrats from an old age. Luckily we were offered a table in the back room and were the only ones there the entire time! Private dining for 2. Monarch has an extensive wine list by the bottle, and a number of Spanish, French and Czech wines by the glass. We started with a delicious Spanish cava, Anna de Codorniu, Blanc de blancs, reserva. Then we let our server make Czech recommendations and were pleasantly surprised with the Trpělka & Oulehla Pálava. We ordered so many tapas we could barely finish. We started with a delicious selection of Spanish and Czech cheeses. The Pulpo a la Brasa, grilled octopus, was good. Even better was Grandmother's Seranno Ham croquettes. I also enjoyed the fried calamari. It was a relaxing and enjoyable meal, and ambience much more intimate in the back room! Service was excellent and personable. I'd return to Monarch the next time in Prague. read more

Classy, upscale spot with friendly bartenders great for grabbing drinks and a bite. I had the grilled octopus which was served with a potato foam (like mashed potatoes) and actually quite delicious and filling. To drink I tried the Wilder Tea, which is a spiked hot tea. Not very authentic Prague, but a nice spot if you are looking for something a bit more chic and modern for dinner! read more

Terrific restaurant, and reasonably priced! We had a great meal here - venison medallions for me, and duck confit for my wife. Excellent! Denisa took great care of us, and was very warm and friendly, spending time to talk to us about the local area, customs, the history of the Czech Republic, etc. Very sweet and professional. Thanks! read more

As a starter I had marinated Hering. Fish was of perfect texture and tasted nicely sour and not too salty. I had a dry-aged 500g US Tomahawk Rib-Eye. It was super soft and tasty. The side orders were Brussel sprouts and home-made French fries. They were also perfectly cooked. Fries super crispy, sprouts were just al-dente. I never have wine so cannot rate any wine. Staff was fast and extremely kind. Best value for the money. Definitely need reservation. read more

the asparagus salad changed my life. it took the waiter 20 minutes to bring my beer and I had to remind him, but the food came quickly because we went around 3pm. DELICIOUS! We even got dessert. I loved the decor and the entire vibe. If I was here for longer than three days then I would go back. read more

From the tapas menu, ordered duck breast and charcuterie for takeaway (it had been a long day). The waitress was friendly, the food was well-packed, and the food was good. Mainly this is a wine bar with meaty noshes, an easy distance from old town or the Charles bridge. At night the windows are lit with green light so it's hard to miss. read more

Pohostinec Monarch - Vibrant evening scene - Czech Near Me - Prague, Puerto Rico

Refined food, with limited choices, but all of the appealing. Glazed carrots are just amazing. And the dry aged ribeye is smashing. Great service as well. read more

Lucky find on an early evening ramble through this charming area of Prague, Nove Mesto. The waiter shared they had recently changed their concept from tapas to modern Czech. We learned that Monarch is under supervision of the executive chef at Grand Cru, a Michelen-starred restaurant well known to Prague foodies. With this we were prepared to find it wonderful, and it was! Delicious and very reasonably priced. We had wine and beer, two entrees and two sides and it was less than $50 total. Excellent service, beautifully appointed room. Lovely and large selection of wine by glass and bottle. Hope you're able to enjoy this gem in Prague read more

Great atmosphere and good selection of tapas and wines. Wait staff knowledgeable about Czech wines. We had a nice Pinot and well priced Prosecco. Caprese salad had nice mozzarella, warm octopus on tiny new potatoes, Manchego cheese which we complimented with a pear "dip", anchovies with peppers on toast. Only disappointment was that there is no desert menu. Good choice after walking all over the city! read more

Super convenient location, just a few minutes from Narodni trida. It is hard to miss with the bright green lights in the windows. The selection of both Czech and international is quite large. They have many wines by the glass as well. The prices have risen significantly in the past few years, so it isn't as great as it used to be. We had the cheese plate, which had 4 types of cheese. The server unceremoniously dropped the plate and ran, so I have no clue what types of cheese were on the plate. It was served with a few slices of bread and a tasty onion chutney. The big downer is the service. The place wasn't very full, but it was a battle to get refills or the check. Not a bad place to stop for pre - dinner drinks if you are already in the neighborhood, just make sure to allot extra time for the slow service. read more

Wide selection of wine and beer. We enjoyed spending some time there, nibbling small sized plates. Good place to hang out a while, and close to some nice bars read more
