Tips for Visiting

Making a reservation is definitely the way to go, especially for dinner or weekend visits. The restaurant’s online booking system makes this super easy. If you’re a first-timer, try one of their wood-charcoal grilled specialties – that’s what they’re famous for, and trust me, you won’t regret it.

For the best value, check out their lunch menu, which changes daily and includes some of their most popular dishes at more wallet-friendly prices. Wine enthusiasts should ask the staff for recommendations – they really know their stuff and can suggest perfect pairings for your meal.

If you’re visiting with kids, they’ll love the children’s menu options, and the staff is super accommodating for families. During warmer months, request a table on the outdoor terrace – it’s gorgeous when the weather cooperates.

Don’t rush your meal here – the atmosphere is meant for relaxed dining and savoring each course. And speaking of courses, save room for dessert! Their sweet offerings are the perfect way to end your meal.

Oh, and here’s a pro tip: if you’re into trying local spirits, ask about their selection of Czech and Slovak liqueurs. They usually have some interesting options that you might not find elsewhere in town.

Lastly, while they do accept walk-ins, weekend evenings can get pretty packed, so having a plan B nearby isn’t a bad idea if you haven’t made a reservation. The restaurant does a great job accommodating most dietary restrictions, but it’s worth mentioning any special requirements when booking.
