There are places that reveal their greatest treasures only upon closer exploration. Such gems are hidden within Slovanský Dům, an unsuspected gourmet heart of Prague’s historic center.
Mediterranean Soul, Modern Spirit
The first stop on this gourmet journey is Kogo restaurant, an integral part of Slovanský Dům for nearly a quarter century. After a recent extensive renovation, it has transformed into a modern space where glass walls allow natural light to flood in, giving the place an airiness and lightness so characteristic of Mediterranean cuisine. The menu features fish, seafood, and premium meats that satisfy even the most demanding patrons, while lovers of Italian pasta, risotto, or traditional brick oven pizza will also find plenty to enjoy. Signature dishes include raw langoustines in olive oil and orange juice, Catalan-style boiled lobster, or veal fillet Rossini with foie gras and truffles — delicacies that represent the pinnacle of southern cuisine. During summer, the restaurant extends to a spacious courtyard terrace, where guests can enjoy the cooling shade of ancient plane trees. No wonder Kogo, part of chef Jova Savič’s prestigious restaurant group, maintains its position as one of Prague’s finest dining establishments.
The Sizzling Soul of Brazil
Just a few steps away, a completely different gastronomic world opens up. Ambiente Brasileiro brings to Prague an authentic Brazilian churrasco-rodízio experience inspired by Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. The traditional serving method, where passadores de carne circle among tables slicing meat directly onto guests’ plates from skewers, is not just a gourmet but also a social ritual. Grilled American beef prepared over an open flame on skewers delivers the genuine taste of South American cuisine. The experience is enhanced by a rich buffet full of fresh vegetables, cheeses, and traditional side dishes, as well as carefully mixed Brazilian cocktails like the original caipirinha made with authentic cachaça, lime, and cane sugar. Its fruit variations instantly transport one to the beaches of Copacabana. The restaurant offers an all-inclusive tasting format where guests can sample unlimited amounts of premium meats for a single price, perfectly reflecting the generosity and hospitality typical of Brazilian culture.
A Taste of China in the Heart of Europe
The restaurant trio is completed by the newly opened Bašu Hot Pot, which brings the true taste of China’s Sichuan province to Slovanský Dům. Hot pot is an immensely popular ritual and social event in Asia, where friends and family gather around a table with boiling broth, into which they collectively place and enjoy selected delicacies, from shrimp and slices of beef to fresh vegetables and exotic mushrooms. Guests have a selection of authentic spices and sauces at their disposal, making each bite a new flavor discovery. Besides hot pot, Bašu restaurant offers authentic Chinese cuisine and a wide range of sushi prepared from fresh ingredients. Other specialties here include Peking duck, braised Sichuan beef, or traditional mapo tofu. In summer, an outdoor seating area is available right in the courtyard, allowing guests to enjoy specialties complemented by Japanese sake or whisky in this unique atmosphere. The venue is ideal for private celebrations, corporate events, and personal parties with an authentic Asian menu.
