Hidden around the back of the striking late-1920s functionalist facade of the Mánes Gallery, this gorgeous restaurant manages to be both welcoming and sophisticated, with its angular art-deco lines decorated with original ceiling frescoes by avant-garde Czech artist Emil Filla. The menu has strong French influences, but also lends a gourmet touch to a handful of Czech classics.
