Taro

Top choice in Prague


Dining out in Smíchov doesn't always mean sitting in a crowded pub. Taro is one of the best Asian-fusion restaurants in Prague, with a sleek, open-kitchen concept and a wide-ranging menu that mixes European and Asian mains, sides and sauces. Lunches (mains from 255Kc) are arguably the better value, but the dinner tasting menus better show off the kitchen's skills.
