Zdeněk Pohlreich · since 1914

A Grand Café full of

history & atmosphere

An architectural gem in the heart of Prague welcoming guests since 1914. Unique ceramic wall tiles, original mosaic ceilings and classic Czech cuisine with a modern touch — once frequented by Franz Kafka and Leoš Janáček, today a landmark recognised by the Michelin Guide 2026.

"Come in, taste, experience. A kitchen that will surprise you."
