The Michelin Guide includes some of the best restaurants in the world. It was created in 1900 and has since been considered one of the most prestigious awards a restaurant can receive. The list includes restaurants that Michelin recommends you visit, as well as restaurants with exceptional value for money (Michelin Bib ratings), and the very best restaurants can be awarded ⭐, ⭐⭐ or ⭐⭐⭐ (Michelin stars). In the Czech Michelin Guide, there are two restaurants with one Michelin star – Field and La Degustation Bohême Bourgeoise. Additionally, five restaurants have been awarded a Michelin Bib (e.g. Dejvická 34, Na Kopci) and another twenty are listed (e.g. V Zátiší, Výčep).
After years of waiting, the Michelin Guide finally arrived in full force and for the first time looked beyond the borders of the capital city. The results? Immensely positive for the whole Czechia.
Papilio Restaurant in Vysoký Újezd represents the peak of contemporary Czech gastronomy under the leadership of Jan Knedla.

Knedla's signature style is characterized by visual perfection, a play with textures, and the use of luxury ingredients. After triumphing in the Gault&Millau guide, the restaurant is on track to win prestigious Michelin stars.
In the Praha Vallmo Restaurant, Chef Dan Kukačka connects Czech culinary roots with pure Nordic simplicity. Dan Kukačka, who went through the school of the legendary Alcron. The poppy motif permeates the menu. Flexible wine pairing gives space to Moravian winemakers as well as interesting foreign wines.
Prague restaurant Field by Chef Radek Kašpárek represents an established icon of Czech fine dining. After years of successfully defending one Michelin star, it is now ambitiously targeting a second star. The establishment bets on an immediate experience, where the final preparation of dishes moves from the kitchen directly before the guests' eyes. Staff precisely finish plating or flambé meat at the table, blurring the lines between chef and waiter.
Marie B is a restaurant that offers tastings in the form of carte blanche. The guest never knows in advance what will be on the menu - not even when the dish is already in front of them. Everything is revealed only after you finish eating and have a dialogue with the staff. Carte blanche isn’t for everyone, but if you embrace this concept, you’re in for a unique and powerful experience.
La Degustation Bohême Bourgeoise is a Prague Restaurant that, uniquely in the Czech Republic, has been awarded and has maintained a Michelin star for a cuisine based exclusively on Czech ingredients and recipes. Traditional Czech ingredients like Olomouc cheese, beetroot, or carp here take on surprising, modern forms and push the boundaries of Czech cuisine.
The 420 restaurant on Prague's Old Town Square offers an original take on Czech cuisine. The project is led by Radek Kašpárek, a well-known chef, with Marek Kominek heading the kitchen and desserts crafted by Kateřina Brodnianska. The restaurant is located in a uniquely renovated building with a beautiful courtyard, directly opposite the Old Town Astronomical Clock.
The Michelin Guide is a prestigious gastronomic ranking that recognizes exceptional restaurants worldwide.
