Prague’s  restaurant sector combines heritage properties, local culinary concepts and event capacity, ranging from historic cafés and market bistros to multi-level venues for large groups.

Prague’s dining sector brings together historic architecture, established restaurant groups and flexible event venues. From traditional Czech concepts and market-based bistros to large multi-level  restaurants, the city offers a broad range of culinary and  hospitality settings for leisure groups, corporate functions and private events.

Červený Jelen / Red Stag

Červený Jelen, also known as Red Stag in English, is a 2,600-square-metre restaurant in Prague that opened in October 2019. The venue spans four floors and includes two gardens, six private lounges and 700 seats.

The building was constructed by Count Špork in the 18th century. It was modernised by Josef Gočár in the early 20th century and renovated by Stanislav Fiala during the past decade. The property originally served as a palace for the Špork family. It later became the headquarters of the third-largest bank in former Czechoslovakia.

The venue’s private floor, located on the first floor of the restaurant, includes six meeting rooms in the former offices of the bank. The rooms can be booked individually for separate meetings or workshops, or combined into one space for private events and parties.

The private floor can accommodate up to 90 people in banquet configuration or 120 people for a cocktail event. Presentation equipment is also available. Each lounge has access to a private bar.

The Former Bank can host up to 350 guests. It has entrances from V Celnici Street and Hybernská Street, while its main space occupies the former banking hall on the ground floor.

The open-plan area is dominated by a glass dome. Rental of the main restaurant floor is available only when the entire restaurant is closed for exclusive use and is subject to a minimum consumption requirement.

The Vault, located on the first underground floor, can accommodate up to 140 guests. Dining options include served menus and buffets.

The quieter and more intimate space occupies what was formerly the second-largest vault area and retains the original vault doors. It can be used for private lunches, dinners and group parties.

The Clubhouse, situated on the second underground floor, has capacity for up to 100 guests. Catering is available exclusively in buffet format.

The space includes a tap and tank tower, facilities for guests to provide their own music, a projection screen and a data projector. The former vault setting on the restaurant’s lowest floor can host corporate parties and team-building events.

For events requiring additional capacity, the Clubhouse can be rented together with the Vault, allowing the event to operate across two floors.

Ambiente gastro projets at the Holešovice market

Ambiente is a Prague-based restaurant group operating more than 40 pubs, cafés, casual dining venues and fine-dining concepts. Founded in 1995 by Tomáš Karpíšek, the group has played a significant role in the development of the Czech restaurant sector, with a focus on traditional Czech cuisine, local ingredients, professionally served draught beer and hospitality standards. The group’s history began with Karpíšek’s first restaurant on Mánesova Street in Prague. The former chef from Liberec built a team around the principle that the guest comes first. This approach continues to shape Ambiente’s operations, alongside the individual identity and concept of each restaurant within the group.

  • Naše Maso Butcher Shop: Naše Maso (“Our Meat” in English) is a popular artisanal butcher shop and bistro, known for exceptional meat, sausages, and fresh-grilled burgers. Partnering with master butcher František Kšána, it offers ethically raised, top-quality Czech meats (like Čestr beef and Přeštice pork) alongside ready-to-eat bites and a famously popular steak tartare. It operates both as a traditional butcher counter for premium cuts, hams, and broths to-go, and as a small bistro where you can order hot meals to eat right at the shop.
  • Skô: Skô is a modern, cozy Slovak  restaurant and bistro. Spearheaded by chef Tomáš Valkovič, it reinterprets traditional Central European and Slovak comfort  foods, offering items like lángos, halušky, and lokše alongside curated wines. Skô was designed to feel like “a home away from home,” drawing on Chef Valkovič’s childhood memories in Slovakia. It rethinks typical Slovak  food by using high-quality, seasonal ingredients.

  • Myšák: Myšák is a historic and beautifully restored pastry shop and café in Prague, originally opened in 1911 by František Myšák. Renowned for its traditional Czech cakes, desserts, and spectacular breakfasts. The main flagship store Vodičkova Street (New Town) operates as a bustling café on the lower level, serving traditional sweets (like their famous orange cakes) and breakfasts daily from 7:30 AM. The upper floor is a pastry workshop, which also functions as a space for private events, company brunches, and children’s workshops. Located in the courtyard of the Schwarzenberg Palace, the second location features a terrace with panoramic views of the city ere you can enjoy authentic Czech pastries and reserve a spot for a leisurely breakfast. A newer confectionery outpost at the Holešovice Market provides classic festive cakes and coffee to go.
