Restaurace U Malířů1543 - Prague

I had a birthday recommended by someone. Made to feel very special and care for me was even allowed to cook my own dessert! Very extensive wine map and very tasty, filling and well presented food. We had: fois gras and carpaccio; venison and quail; curd knödel and flambe pear. This together with champagne to begin to finish a bottle of Czech red wine and dessert wine, all came to less than 150 pounds for Haute cuisine in the oldest restaurant in the country, as a birthday meal, was a good value.

Excellent kitchen in a fine high-end dining style. Evocative atmosphere. The lunch set, which is seasonal, was exclusive. Good wine list. Czech Riesling was great.

Amazing food, great atmosphere, reasonable prices. The 6-course exclusive menu for 100€ is highly recommended!

Surfait. Too expensive vs quality Nice place, wine are quite expensive (around min 1000Kc) but very good selection. You can even find some Petrus ! Food was not bad but nothing extraordinary.

My rating reflects facts which are underlaid by pictures and the restaurant’s webpage. Overall, the atmosphere is nice and comforting with nice staff apart from one demented waiter (obese with beard). The ambience however does not compensate for the quality of the food which is at its best good, not excellent or astonishing as some reviewers claim. Drinks and wine are simply overpriced without any added value, despite a large selection of wines, which is above average compared to other places. Service was good, yet bringing some extra bread would be a nice plus. For starter AVOID, the shrimp cocktail, it’s simply a fruit salad with ONE SHRIMP cut into pieces. The title on the menu claims shrimp(S) …. Picture shows it all … The main course CHATEAUBRIAND was very good, however, we ordered medium and received Medium rare in the centre not to mention 3 halves of grenaille potatoes. Why does the chef cut already Small potatoes into halves eludes me, but I see some resemblance with the shrimp cocktail. … Picture shows it all For dessert, I’ve ordered a selection of cheeses, which was good, nothing to fuss about. I would definitely not come back to this place, there are far better places to eat. It’s nothing special.
