Ricola (arugula) salad
William C.

For our last dinner in Prague, we asked our guides multiple times for what they thought was one of the best restaurants in the city. They suggested Restaurant Zvonice. Located on the 7th and 8th floors of the Gothic Bell Tower in the middle of downtown Prague, minutes away from the main square, this was an absolutely wonderful choice. The Bell Tower itself is fascinating. One suggestion before describing the restaurant: go to the top and enjoy the view before dinner. We didn't do this and the viewing station was closed. So go to the top first before enjoying the meal. This restaurant is gorgeous. The structure is so old that there are beams throughout at about 5 feet high. The wait staff learn quickly to constantly bend their heads, otherwise they'll get repeatedly hit in the head. This interesting and ancient architecture makes for lots of intimate spaces for the tables. Both along the border where there are windows and in romantic corners. The wait staff was absolutely first rate. Totally. Our server Jason and his assistant could not have been more attentive to our needs. We started with a wonderful Czech red Merlot that complemented the meal completely. Jason was really helpful in guiding us to select some excellent dishes. We started with the appetizers of Goat cheese with apricot, beef bouillon and a rucola (arugula) salad. The goat cheese was heavenly. Apricots are grown in this part of Europe and the dish was amazing. For entrees we chose and truly enjoyed the venison with pumpkin sauce and sweet potato, and risotto with truffle sauce. There is a very pungent flavor of truffle in this dish. I love it. But just be aware if this is not your taste. For dessert we shared the chestnut moose with apricot sauce. OMG. This was truly a highlight that completed a most memorable meal. The cost was not cheap, but certainly very reasonable for the elegance of the restaurant, the superb quality food and wine. If you are interested, I suggest a reservation.

This restaurant was recommended to me by a couple on the plane. And I wish I got their information to thank them. What a gem. The ambiance is amazing. The service was great (although I will say I went at 8:30pm on a Wednesday, and there were only 3 other tables). But definitely get a reservation as there are a very limited number of tables. The views are great. It's so cool to be having dinner in an old bell tower. And to get amazing food and wine with the experience just topped it off so nicely. I had been worried about eating in Prague bc I don't eat meat. The eggplant dish was TO DIE FOR!! And get the local wine(s). Amazing. Do not skip this place!

Lovely restaurant! Quiet, replacing with great service and food. Small so make a reservation to ensure a table. I had what many recommend and it was awesome!

My husband and I went to Restaurant Zvonice for an anniversary celebration. It was recommended to us by the tour we were on. While the ambiance was certainly beautiful and different, the service was lacking. It took 2 1/2 hours from the start of the dinner until we left. The time between courses and to get our check was frustratingly long. As for the food, while it was delicious, it was also not hot. It was very expensive and I expected better service and a hot meal. The soup was delicious, not hot, but delicious. The good news is that it did not ruin our anniversary and we just took it in stride.

Vacationing in Prague and hubby and I wanted to try Czech cuisine. This restaurant is llocated close to the Art Nouveau Palace where we were staying. Located in Henry's Belltower, you take an elevator to the 7th or 8th floor where a server greeted us. We were the first patrons and we got our pick of seating. Note that there are not a bunch of windows with views of the city, but we did get a window seat with a partial view. We had complimentary appetizer that was very tasty. I ordered veal cheeks that came in a brown gravy with a potato mash. Hubby ordered duck with dumplings. We didn't care for the food. We did enjoy the Czech wine. It was very hot in Prague that day and the belltower was not well ventilated. It was too hot to enjoy the heavy Czech food! Stars are for service and ambience, but don't go on a hot day.

I wandered in Restaurant Zvonice shortly after arriving in Prague, wanting to get a taste of local cuisine. It's located at the top of a historic tower - offering a unique, cozy, intimate interior. It was initially not very busy when I arrived, but by the time I paid the bill, the restaurant had filled up. Service was also fantastic! This was my first experience with the cuisine and I didn't know what to expect. I ordered the Boar Tenderloin (Marinated wild boar tenderloin roasted on thyme with fresh blackberry sauce, served with baked Old Bohemian pork patties and mushroom tartar with forest herbs). I didn't know what to expect, but wow was I impressed. The presentation, the flavors that all complimented each other. I didn't think I'd be that hungry, but I ended up eating the entire thing. I look forward to returning sometime to enjoy another delicious meal here! Incredible food and a wonderful experience.

Bell tower

Phenomenal place where you get to dine in one of Pragues many towers intimately but not touristy. Very good food with fantastic service. On point with timely attendance and overall delivering good service. We had 3 bottles of wine and 6 entrees and all were very good. Cocktails seemed on point too based on the menu. Highly recommend this place but come in with reservations.

Chocolate truffles
Mishka B.

We had reservations here for our anniversary and so glad we came! The atmosphere is intimate, the service impeccable, and the views around this tower are gorgeous. We had the beef consomme along with veal cheeks and lamb - don't get me started on the amazing, savory sauces used - and the chocolate truffles for dessert. Overall, an easy 5, and a must for any visit to Prague.

Venison Pate with cranberry sauce
Phillip B.

The restaurant is at the top of an old bell tower , it's super cool and to top it off the service was excellent, Lucas my waiter recommended the Roast duck as " what we would have in Czech on a Sunday dinner" I couldn't argue with that, I wanted to try the venison pate with my beers as they cooked my duck , served with two pieces of bread and seemed like every bite I took was better than the last , The duck showed up (huge portions) was tender juicy and served with dumplings for sopping up the brown sauce that the duck was on , the heart was cut up into pieces in the sauce and just added another texture and taste to the best duck I've ever had . Go there eat this thank me later. Oh Lucas gave me a shot of some liqueur when I was done really good as well.

The tower
Ralf W.

We tried a few restaurants in Prague and they ALL were great, but THIS restaurant is outstanding! Located in one of the old towers, it looks really great. It seems, time has been frozen in 12th century. We all had a really great meal, perfectly cooked and we had the best service of all Prague restaurants we tried. The service was great. If you visit Prague, THIS restaurant is a MUST.

Cool artisan menus that look like a bible.
Phillip A.

We just returned from Prague and I have to RAVE about this one! First, I was traveling with 12 clients of our travel agency and I was looking for a unique experience for foodies that would include local cuisine. Zvonice knocked it out of the park. Dining in the belfry of an ancient clock tower is pretty cool, but when you add the exceptional food and service - its a true WINNER. Roman took great care of all of us and our clients were thrilled with both the food an experience. This is NOT to be missed when visiting Prague. The menu is extensive and includes sumptuous versions of traditional Czech cuisine as well as a variety of other great european dishes. Do NOT get on a plane without a reservation!

We ordered the beef cheeks, which were served cold (likely as intended but not what I was expecting). Flavor was fine but not great. The burger was also just okay. For something so standard, it was passable but not likely to order again. Our favorite dishes were 1) the duck and 2) potato and vegetable patties. Duck was crispy, hot, and had pretty good flavor! The vegetable patties were also crispy and balanced, slightly sweet. The beer list was limited but we liked what we ordered. Hate to be a broken record but we've had better while in the city. Wouldn't recommend this place to a friend since it was just average.

We are early diners and the only couple near us were also Americans on holiday. Our server spoke excellent English and guided us through the menu choices. After an appetizer of tomatoes and cucumbers in a light dressing, I ordered the sirloin in cream and my wife the trout filet. The food, like the service, was superb.

Nonetheless, I entered and hope for an escape from the unforgiving sun on that day. The staff seated me at one of the booths and after I requested some information explaining the menu and what's popular, they were more than happy to assist. They even explained some local etiquette and so on which was perfect for a visitor like myself. I decided to try out their Pickled Cheese as an appetizer. The cheese, paired with the onion salad and bagel was great. I really didn't know if I was eating it correctly but still delicious. For the main course, my waiter recommended a Schnitzel with potato salad. Just to get it out of the way, but the potato salad was almost better than anything I've had in the United States. I thought we were doing it right until I spent one day in Prague. The Schnitzel was also delicious. Perfect with the salad, the provided a blend of flavor and substance I desperately needed. All in all, this place was a great experience in Prague. The staff could not have been anymore nicer as I left with an itinerary on what to do during my time in Prague. The food and service were great. Don't be fooled by the location and stop by if you're in Old Square.

The breading provided plenty of flavor to the veal & pork combo. The mashed potato had a very creamy texture. Unfortunately, the cucumber salad was the least favorite of the three. The shredded cucumber was akin to sauerkraut being drowned in water. I regretfully passed on the dessert. From my vantage point, I could not see anyone ordering dessert.

I hadn't made a reservation but being a singleton at an early evening hour, the staff found me a table quickly. I started by ordering an alcohol-free beer and then I perused the menu. Marek, the waiter, soon came to my aide and helped me pick out a hearty portion: dumplings, of course! For dessert, I also had another set of dumplings and I loved both dishes.

FOOD The pork…read moreshoulder is massive, absolutely massive. It's also incredibly juice, and they skin tastes wonderful. I cannot stress this enough, the dish was great! The beer goulash on the other hand was interesting and hearty. I wouldn't classify it as wonderful, but decent, with sizable chunks of meat in there. Overall, the food was good, and worth the visit. RESTAURANT As is typical in Prague, water is expensive, and often more expensive that sodas or alcohols. I got a chuckle out of seeing things like whiskey being the same price as water. We got two ciders, which were absolutely delicious. The service was also friendly, which was nice. The decor is interesting, and the seating quite comfortably spaced out. ADVICE One thing - if you plan on using your credit card, I do recommend that you tell them to use the local currency, CZK, when charging the card. I'm not sure why they decided to go with USD without asking me, as it literally offers zero benefits to a foreigner, and all the negatives. For those wondering, if you have a card that doesn't waive foreign transaction fees, using USD doesn't prevent your card from charging the fees. The fee is for foreign transactions, not foreign currency. If you have a card that waives those fees, you're obviously losing out by charging to USD, as the exchange rate is awful.
