A gently winding road leads up to this cosy Little Quarter restaurant. A commanding position, nestled, in a luscious hill-side. Add to this the historic surroundings and cobble-stoned streets and you have a quintessential, romantic Prague setting. The open-plan dining area, enveloped in a warm, maroon glow, overlooks a charming garden. The windows offer views down to the Little Quarter and Castle grounds.
The series of gold-framed, caricatures embellishing the walls reveal the names of such famous celebrity artists and writers as Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dali and James Joyce. All of whom were close friends of the famous Czech artist Adolf Hoffmeister. His charming penmanship lends a particular sophistication to the luxurious surroundings.
