4.6 / 5.0(12,434 reviews)

We really enjoyed eating at this restaurant. The first night we came we only tried Beef Tartar and the Bone Marrow. I loved the fresh taste of the Beef Tartar. The Bone Marrow was very fatty as it supposed to be. We were surprised by the atmosphere and the food that we decided to come here the next night. We loved the Beef Carpaccio! The Potatoes Pancakes were also good. The Duck Pate didn’t meet my expectations. The bread that came with the food was very delicious! We also tried Bread Pudding and it was okayish. However, the staffs that were serving the food wasn’t very nice. We ordered the wrong dessert but we were too intimidated to change it :( The best carpaccio in Prague. Kantýna, part of the renowned Ambiente restaurant group, is without a doubt, one of my favorite spots in Prague and a must-visit for any serious meat lover. The atmosphere is unique, operating on a refined canteen-style concept where you interact directly with the butcher and kitchen staff to select your cuts and portion sizes, paying for exactly what you get by weight. The food quality is stellar, and the beef, in particular, is magnificent. I can confidently say they serve the best carpaccio in the city—it is the reason I am a regular visitor. The beef tartare is also superb, fresh, and perfectly seasoned, and every other meat offering we've tried has been equally impressive. A huge advantage is the butcher station where you can select a raw steak cut and have them grill it for you on the spot. While the experience is expensive, the quality make it absolutely worth the price. Practical Tips: The restaurant gets extremely busy, especially on Friday and Sunday evenings. If possible, I highly recommend visiting for lunch during the week to enjoy the atmosphere and food without the long wait times. Also, be aware that their excellent draft beer has a famously intense and distinctive flavor—it truly packs a punch and is definitely not for the faint of heart! This is an essential dining experience in Prague. Highly recommended! Typical Czech meat place, based on the past experience in public canteen. Good meat, good Beer. Not chaleap but good to try. Steak tartar, owen cooked beef ribs, cabage mince meatloaf. Good to try. Vejmrda fresh horseradish.. You are taking the empty receipt And the food is weighted. You pay the bill when leaving

The atmosphere is incredible. The restaurant is located in an old bank building. There are three stations where you can order different things. One is dedicated exclusively to beer. I ordered a cheeseburger, which was fantastic. One of the best I've ever had. My Czech friend recommended I also order a "sznyt" beer. This is a style of pouring beer in which most of the foam is present. It was also delicious. The restaurant is perfect for anyone who loves meat dishes.
