Benjamin

Top choice in Prague


Vršovice may be low on cool restaurants, but it does have one of Prague's most prized fine-dining establishments. Benjamin serves just 10 guests a night at its horseshoe-shaped counter. The choice is a five- or eight-course menu (wine pairing 530/990Kč), featuring fancy dishes inspired by old Czech recipes.
