Czech Republic
Selected entries from the current guide for Czech Republic.
Vysoký Újezd u Berouna, Czech Republic
Set inside the converted stables of a château village outside Beroun, Papilio earned 77 points in the 2026 La Liste rankings through a tasting menu programme rooted in regional Czech ingredients and the chef's childhood food memory. The format runs from six to ten courses, with a Chef's Table option and a well-considered wine list that extends to a tea pairing for non-drinkers.
Prague, Czech Republic
Among Prague's Michelin-starred addresses, La Dégustation Bohème Bourgeoise occupies a specific position: a Czech-French tasting counter where seasonality and native ingredients drive a set menu format that has earned consistent international recognition, including a Michelin star and a Star Wine List top ranking. The vaulted dining room on Haštalská, with its open kitchen and wine list, draws a clientele that returns for the discipline of the format as much as the food itself.
Prague, Czech Republic
Field Restaurant holds a Michelin star in Prague's Old Town, where chef Radek Kašpárek runs tasting menus built around Czech seasonal produce in a minimalist dining room on U Milosrdných. The format splits between a longer evening tasting and shorter daytime versions, with tableside theatrics, flambéed sauces, smoke-box brioche, that sit within a restrained, technically focused framework. Opinionated About Dining ranked it among Europe's top restaurants in 2025.
Prague, Czech Republic
Casa De Carli is an Italian restaurant on a cobbled Old Town street in Prague, open since 2012, with North Italian cooking and homemade bread, pasta, and ice cream. An open show kitchen and a basement chef's table for eight keep the meal close to the stove.
Olomouc, Czech Republic
Set inside The Theatre Hotel in Olomouc, Entrée operates an open kitchen that anchors a modern European menu built around precise ingredient combinations. Three tiered set menus, each adding courses to the last, give the format clear structure, while a non-alcoholic pairing and well-constructed cocktail list round out the offering. For a mid-sized Moravian city, this is a serious dining room with national-tier ambitions.
Hlohovec, Czech Republic
Set inside the Chateau de Frontiere on the historic Austria-Moravia border, ESSENS operates a precise set-menu format built around Moravian seasonal produce and regional wines. Chef Otto Vašák's cooking earns La Liste recognition, placing this South Moravian dining room in a selective tier of Czech restaurants operating well outside Prague's established circuit.
Prague, Czech Republic
In Vinohrady, LEVITATE runs a 12 or 18-course tasting format that draws on Nordic technique, Czech produce, and Asian spice, a combination that earns it a place among Prague's most discussed fine-dining addresses. The experience begins in a vaulted cellar bar before moving to a chic main room where a long communal table and smaller round tables offer different registers of intimacy. Riegrovy Sady park is a short walk away.
Prague, Czech Republic
On the first floor of a converted industrial building in Karlín, Štangl serves three- or five-course menus built entirely from seasonal Czech ingredients. The kitchen is fully open, the room deliberately unhurried, and a projected film introduces the producers behind each plate. A ground-floor bakery from the same team sells house-made bread and preserved vegetables.
Prague, Czech Republic
Positioned on the Vltava riverfront inside the Four Seasons Hotel Prague, CottoCrudo brings Italian cooking with a modern sensibility to one of the city's most architecturally charged addresses in Josefov. A Michelin Plate holder with a wine list spanning 285 selections and 2,550 bottles, it occupies a distinct tier among Prague's Italian restaurants, where the river terrace and polished bar frame the experience as much as the kitchen does.
Prague, Czech Republic
Among Prague's Michelin-starred restaurants, Alcron occupies a particular position: a Modern European kitchen with a wine programme that has earned the Star Wine List number one ranking twice. Situated on Štěpánská in Nové Město, it operates a tightly controlled service schedule and draws comparisons to peers like La Degustation Bohême Bourgeoise for serious culinary ambition in the Czech capital.
Prague, Czech Republic
A Michelin Bib Gourmand holder in Prague's Holešovice district, The Eatery serves contemporary Czech cuisine built around locally sourced ingredients at prices that sit well below comparable award-recognised kitchens. The industrial-style dining room, open kitchen, and a wine program serious enough to draw its own following make it one of the more considered addresses in the city's evolving neighbourhood dining scene.
Prague, Czech Republic
Holding consecutive Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition in 2024 and 2025, Dejvická 34 by Tomáš Černý operates in Prague's residential Bubeneč district, away from the tourist corridor. The kitchen bridges Czech and Italian traditions, with particular strength in stews and pasta, delivered in a modern bistro setting where one table sits directly in front of the open kitchen.
Prague, Czech Republic
La Finestra in Cucina brings serious Italian cooking to Prague's Old Town, operating from a red-brick vaulted space on Platnéřská with a kitchen visible through a glass window. The menu moves through classic Italian territory, calamari fritti, brasato al Barolo, spaghetti alla carbonara, with a notable focus on aged meats from the grill. A Michelin Plate holder since 2024, it sits at the accessible end of Prague's Italian dining tier with a euro-range price point.
Prague, Czech Republic
At Grand Cru, the art of haute cuisine unfolds alongside a cellar of rare and coveted vintages, orchestrated with quiet confidence and precise restraint. Each course reveals a dialogue between pristine ingredients and masterful technique—silken sauces, precise textures, and aromas that bloom like a well-aged Burgundy—while sommelier-led pairings sharpen flavor into memory. Cocooned in a hushed, candlelit ambiance with tactile, tailored service, Grand Cru offers an experience designed for those who savor nuance: a celebration of terroir, time, and the rare pleasure of dining without compromise.
Brno, Czech Republic
Set within a centuries-old building off Brno's central Kobližná street, ATELIER bar & bistro reaches its dining room through a glass-roofed atrium courtyard. The format runs a tight menu of steak and Italian-influenced plates alongside a short bar program, all delivered in a relaxed, pared-back interior with vaulted ceilings. It works equally well as a sit-down meal or a drinks stop.
Litomyšl, Czech Republic
Braised duck leg, rabbit, trout, and the kitchen's praised Carlsbad dumplings form the backbone of a menu that reads as a serious document of local cooking rather than a tourist concession. A moderately priced lunch special draws steady local trade.
Prague, Czech Republic
A Michelin Bib Gourmand recipient in Prague's Old Town, Divinis serves refined Italian cooking from a characterful multi-level townhouse on Týnská. The room earns its reputation on atmosphere alone, mismatched furniture, worn floorboards, and a cabinet-of-curiosities sensibility, but the kitchen backs it with technically assured dishes, a braised veal cheeks signature, and an Italian-focused wine list guided by knowledgeable staff.
Budyně nad Ohří, Czech Republic
A converted farmhouse in the Bohemian countryside, Dvůr Perlová voda pairs an on-site microbrewery with traditional, seasonal cooking in a room defined by groin-vaulted ceilings and copper brewery kettles. The open kitchen, shop corner stocked with local preserves, and guestrooms make it a practical base for exploring the Ohře river region.
Tábor, Czech Republic
Goldie occupies a long-standing hotel in the heart of Tábor's medieval centre, offering à la carte dining alongside four- and six-course tasting menus on Žižkov Square. The kitchen leans on Czech culinary tradition, kulajda mushroom soup, sturgeon, steak Rossini, while the summer terrace and bistro atmosphere make it one of the more considered dining options in South Bohemia. A wallet-friendly lunch menu broadens access without diluting the evening format.
Zlín, Czech Republic
La Villa in Zlín operates as a family-managed country restaurant where the kitchen draws on local Moravian produce and traditional recipes. The atmosphere reflects the kind of hospitality that comes from personal ownership rather than corporate format. For travellers in the Zlín region seeking regional Czech cooking served in a grounded, unpretentious setting, it functions as a reliable reference point.
Olomouc, Czech Republic
A creative seasonal bistro inside a 19th-century military bakery, Long Story Short brings an à la carte menu of produce-driven plates to Olomouc's Koželužská quarter. The open kitchen with Jopser grill and a dedicated chef's table set the format; the sourdough and pastry program extends the offer into daytime. An attached café bar and hostel make it a rare multi-purpose address in Moravian dining.
Čeladná, Czech Republic
MIURA occupies the first floor of a contemporary hotel in Čeladná, the Beskydy resort corridor of Moravia-Silesia, with floor-to-ceiling windows framing open countryside and a sleek interior that signals ambition. The kitchen works across regional Czech and international registers, offering both à la carte and a tasting menu format. Depth of flavour and technical confidence distinguish the cooking from typical resort dining.
Prague, Czech Republic
Na Kopci sits in a residential corner of Praha 5, earning consecutive Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition in 2024 and 2025 for Czech regional cooking that prioritises flavour over formality. Family photographs line the walls, service runs at a personal register, and the kitchen's dumplings have become a quiet institution. At the €€ price point, it occupies a different tier from the city's tasting-menu circuit entirely.
Hradec Králové, Czech Republic
Reached through a quiet inner courtyard off Dlouhá Street, Šatlava is one of Hradec Králové's more considered dining rooms, combining seasonal Czech cooking with contemporary plating and a service standard that holds its own against far larger city operations. The winter garden and balcony terrace, which looks out over the city park and spa gardens, give the space a genuinely different character depending on when you visit.

Prague, Czech Republic
Opened in April 2025 following an extensive multimillion-dollar transformation, Fairmont Golden Prague occupies a modernist landmark on Pařížská Street overlooking the Vltava River.

Prague, Czech Republic
A 13th-century Augustinian monastery converted into a 101-room Luxury Collection hotel in Prague's Malá Strana quarter, scoring 94.5pts in the 2026 La Liste Top Hotels ranking.

Prague, Czech Republic
Occupying a preserved 19th-century building on the Vltava embankment in Nové Město, Sir Prague sits directly beside Frank Gehry's Dancing House with 76 rooms framing river and city views. The property combines Gothic architectural character with a contemporary interior spirit, placing it in Prague's mid-to-upper hotel tier for occasion stays and design-conscious travellers.
Prague, Czech Republic
Positioned on the Vltava riverbank with direct sightlines to Charles Bridge and Prague Castle, Four Seasons Hotel Prague occupies three historic structures spanning Romanesque, Renaissance, and Baroque periods. Its 157 rooms, Italian restaurant CottoCrudo, and concierge-led cultural programming place it consistently among the city's most recognised luxury addresses, earning a 94.5-point score in the 2026 La Liste Top Hotels ranking.
Prague, Czech Republic
A 46-room Baroque hotel on Tržiště in Malá Strana, Alchymist Grand Hotel & Spa sits between Prague Castle and Petřín Hill, earning World Travel Awards' Czech Republic's Leading Boutique Hotel (2025) and a 90-point score from La Liste Top Hotels (2026). The address places guests within walking distance of Prague's historic core, while the property's mosaic-tiled pool, Ecsotica Spa, and complimentary 5 p.m. Czech wine-and-cheese service set it apart from the city's larger luxury competitors.
Mcely, Czech Republic
A 17th-century hunting lodge turned five-star retreat on the edge of the St. George Forest in Central Bohemia, Chateau Mcely sits about 70 km northeast of Prague. Its 23 high-ceilinged rooms blend Baroque architectural detail with considered modern amenities, and the property extends that same sensibility into spaces like an 18th-century instrument library and a basement Alchemist Club with vintage wine preservation technology.
Prague, Czech Republic
Positioned in Nové Město at a considered remove from the tourist density of the Old Town, Mosaic House occupies a distinct tier among Prague's boutique hotels: design-led, pattern-forward, and scaled to 54 rooms. The courtyard garden functions as a genuine retreat, and the interiors carry a collected, individual character that larger Prague properties rarely achieve at this footprint.
Prague, Czech Republic
Occupying a restored Art Deco building steps from Wenceslas Square, Almanac X Alcron Prague earns 94 points on La Liste's 2026 Top Hotels ranking. Across 204 rooms, the property balances 1930s architectural character with a contemporary sensibility, drawing locals as much as guests to its restaurant, cocktail bar, and coffee shop.
Prague, Czech Republic
Occupying the landmark Sugar Palace on Senovážné náměstí, Andaz Prague places guests inside one of the city's most storied buildings, steps from Old Town Square. The hotel channels Czech mythology and architectural heritage through its interiors, positioning it as a design-led alternative to the grand international brands that cluster along the Vltava. For travellers who want history embedded in the structure itself, the address has few peers in its neighbourhood.
Šumperk, Czech Republic
A 2020 redesign transformed this 1930s Šumperk landmark from Hotel Grand into Hotel Perk, a 34-room property that treats design as substance rather than decoration. Thoughtful lighting schemes, a rooftop wellness area, and a ground-floor restaurant focused on local specialties position it as one considered address in a city that rarely draws overnight visitors. Rooms from $123.
Prague, Czech Republic
Owned by the Viennese coffee and dining house Julius Meinl, The Julius Prague occupies a heritage building in Nové Město with interiors by Milanese architects Matteo Thun & Partners. The 168 rooms and suites trade in a subdued contemporary style built for extended stays. Rates from around $203 per night position it in Prague's upper-mid luxury tier, with an Italian-inspired bistro on site and the city's wider dining scene within easy reach.
Carlsbad, Czech Republic
Original architectural bones remain intact beneath contemporary interiors of clean lines and warm, muted materials. A compact spa, hillside walks, and proximity to the spa town's famous colonnades make it a quieter alternative to the grand resort hotels that define the area.
Prague, Czech Republic
5 points in the La Liste Top Hotels 2026 ranking. Its scale keeps it in the intimate, design-led tier of Prague luxury, distinct from the larger international brands operating nearby. A considered choice for travellers who want proximity to the historic centre without the footprint of a convention-scale hotel.
Prague, Czech Republic
Built on the site of a 14th-century Dominican monastery in Malá Strana, Mandarin Oriental, Prague converts centuries of sacred architecture into 99 rooms and suites where vaulted ceilings and original parquet floors meet contemporary furnishings. Rated 93 points on the 2026 La Liste Top Hotels index, it earns its position through the spa in a former Renaissance chapel, Les Clefs d'Or concierges, and an exclusive arrangement with Lobkowicz Palace.
Prague, Czech Republic
W Prague opened in December 2024 as the W Hotels brand's first Czech property, bringing its signature design-forward approach to one of Central Europe's most architecturally layered capitals. The hotel has already drawn recognition from Star Wine List (2026), signalling a drinks program that positions it above the standard luxury hotel bar. For travellers who want contemporary energy alongside Prague's Baroque and Art Nouveau fabric, W Prague offers a clear counterpoint to the city's heritage-led alternatives.
Prague, Czech Republic
The Grand Mark occupies a restored 19th-century palace on Hybernská in Nové Město, holding membership in Leading Hotels of the World since 2025. It sits in Prague's mid-tier of grand address hotels, where architectural weight and city-centre position matter as much as room count. For travellers who want a historically grounded base without the full-scale international chain apparatus, this is a considered option.
Prague, Czech Republic
Among Prague's boutique luxury options, Buddha-Bar Hotel Prague occupies a narrow niche: an Eastern-inflected design property in the heart of Staré Město, with 35 rooms shaped by French-Asian aesthetics, Bohemian crystal detailing, and a below-stairs restaurant operating independently from the hotel. It sits closer to design-led character properties than to the conventional five-star tier, and that distinction shapes everything from the spa to the breakfast spread.
Prague, Czech Republic
Aria Hotel Prague occupies a meticulously restored palazzo on Tržiště in Malá Strana, earning 92 points from La Liste's Top Hotels 2026 ranking. Its music-themed rooms and garden terrace with views toward Prague Castle place it firmly in the design-led boutique tier, sitting apart from the large international flags that dominate the city's luxury hotel count.
Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic
On Karlovy Vary's Stará Louka promenade, Boutique Hotel Corso operates within a 19th-century spa-town facade and holds continental recognition as a Luxury Boutique Wellness Retreat. The property sits in the specialist tier of Karlovy Vary's accommodation market, distinct from the larger classical spa hotels, and positions itself around the healing and restoration tradition that defines the UNESCO-listed district.
Prague, Czech Republic
Century Old Town Prague, part of the MGallery Collection, earned the Country Winner award for Luxury City Business Hotel, placing it among Prague's most recognised properties for business travellers seeking character-led accommodation. Located on Na Poříčí 7 in the Petrská čtvrť district, the hotel sits within reach of the Old Town and the financial corridor running toward Florenc. MGallery's storytelling-hotel positioning distinguishes it from the city's larger chain properties.
Prague, Czech Republic
Located in Prague's Nové Město district, COSMOPOLITAN Hotel Prague earned a 94-point score in La Liste's 2026 Top Hotels ranking, placing it in recognisable company among the Czech capital's more seriously regarded properties. Its address on Zlatnická puts guests within reach of both the historic centre and the city's quieter commercial quarters, a position that suits travellers who prefer proximity without the full immersion of Old Town pricing.
Prague, Czech Republic
A Michelin Selected hotel on Malá Strana's most storied street, Design Hotel Neruda occupies a Baroque building on Nerudova that has been reinterpreted through a sharp contemporary design lens. The address alone places guests steps from Prague Castle, while the architecture bridges centuries without apology. For travellers who want design credentials alongside a genuinely historic location, few Prague addresses compete on both counts simultaneously.
Prague, Czech Republic
Don Giovanni Hotel Prague occupies a Žižkov address eight minutes from the city centre by metro, positioning it as a practical base for both business and leisure. Its conference infrastructure scales to 1,000 attendees across 20 contemporary meeting rooms, making it one of the more capable event venues in this part of the city. Travellers who need proximity to central Prague without paying Old Town rates will find the trade-off direct.

Prague, Czech Republic
Alma brings the weight of Portuguese culinary tradition to the heart of Prague's Nové Město district, operating from an 18th-century building that once housed the Bertrand bookshop, recognised as the world's oldest. The kitchen works across two menus anchored in Henrique Sá Pessoa's signature approach and a dedicated tribute to Portuguese fish and seafood, with a wine program weighted toward natural and biodynamic producers.

For visitors, it represents a quieter register than the cocktail theatrics found elsewhere in the district.
Prague, Czech Republic
Bokovka occupies a hidden courtyard off Dlouhá street in Prague's Old Town, functioning as one of the city's more focused natural and small-producer wine bars. The list skews toward independent Czech and Central European labels that rarely appear on mainstream bar menus. Walk-ins are possible but the intimate format fills quickly, particularly on weekend evenings.
Prague, Czech Republic
Ranked #253 in the World's Top 500 Bars for 2025, Hemingway Bar occupies a quiet address in Prague's Nové Město district and operates at the serious end of the city's cocktail spectrum. Booking ahead is advisable.
Prague, Czech Republic
Le Terroir occupies a centuries-old address in Prague's Old Town, building its reputation around a serious European wine list that positions it firmly within the city's specialist wine-bar tier. The focus is on fine wines served with editorial rigour, drawing collectors and curious drinkers rather than casual tourists. Reservations are advisable, particularly on weekday evenings when the room fills with a local wine-literate crowd.
Prague, Czech Republic
Veltlin, in Prague's Karlín district, is one of the city's most focused wine bars, built around the vineyards and traditions of the former Austro-Hungarian empire.

For anyone approaching Central European wine with genuine curiosity, this is the address in Prague that earns repeated visits.
Prague, Czech Republic
Vinograf occupies a prime position in Prague's New Town wine bar circuit, carrying a list of around 200 wines available by the bottle and by the glass, with particular depth in Czech and Slovak labels rarely seen at this concentration elsewhere in the city.

Prague, Czech Republic
A White Star-recognised address on Staré Město's Platnéřská street, George Prime Steak positions itself within Prague's small tier of dedicated prime beef restaurants where wine program depth, evidenced by Star Wine List recognition in January 2025, carries as much weight as the cut on the plate. The format rewards diners who treat the meal as a deliberate ritual rather than a quick stop.
Mcely, Czech Republic
Prague, Czech Republic
Prague, Czech Republic
DOX Centre for Contemporary Art anchors Prague's Holešovice district as one of Central Europe's most consequential private contemporary art institutions.

Prague, Czech Republic
Onesip Coffee occupies a compact address on Haštalská in Staré Město, positioning itself within Prague's growing specialty coffee scene. The Old Town location places it steps from the neighbourhood's medieval streetscape, making it a practical stop for those moving between the city's historic core and its increasingly considered café circuit.
Prague, Czech Republic
ABOVE ROOFTOP fits Prague’s roof-bar lane: the draw is height, city outlook, and a drinks-first evening rather than a chef-led dining format. With no public award, price, or formal cocktail list attached, it reads as a setting-led stop, useful for visitors comparing Prague’s cocktail bars, hotel lounges, wine rooms, and late-night addresses before committing to a full night out.
Vrbice, Czech Republic
A rural address in the heart of Moravian wine country, Vrbice 345 sits in one of the Czech Republic's most storied wine-producing villages.

Kurdejov, Czech Republic
Gurdau Vinarstvi brings Moravian wine tourism into a design-led register: hillside architecture, vineyard views, and a portfolio anchored by Riesling, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Noir and Grüner Veltliner. The draw is not volume or spectacle, but a quiet, reservation-led winery experience in Kurdějov where place, glass and building are meant to read together.
Dobsice, Czech Republic
Vinařství LAHOFER is a design-led winery in Dobšice where South Moravian vineyard geometry shapes the visitor experience as much as the glass. Opened in 2020, the large-scale estate works across about 430 hectares of its own vineyards and has gained recognition through the BIG SEE Tourism Design Award 2022 for a roof that doubles as an amphitheater and cultural venue.
