The Easter season was a nice opportunity to go for a lamb feast. The choice fell on the three-course lunch menu at V Zátiší Restaurant. The restaurant belongs to the Zátiší Group, which also includes my favorite Mlýnec Restaurant. At the time of our visit, the owner of the entire group, Sanjiv Suri, was at the next table; it was enough to smile at him, nod a greeting, and he was already welcoming us personally, even though he didn’t know us. A very friendly attitude.
Ravioli with ricotta and gorgonzola, tomato dip, butter emulsion. Excellent taste and literally a breath of Italy in a luxurious execution. Beautifully plated.
Lamb confit, mashed potatoes, spinach, wild garlic as the main course fit thematically with the Easter season. Confit is a method of very slow cooking at low temperatures. After this preparation, the meat is very tender, tasty, and literally falls apart into strands. In this case, the meat had already been pulled apart and reassembled into a cube shape. A very tasty dish.
The influence of Indian cuisine, which partially prevails in the kitchen thanks to the work of Indian chef Ramesh Mamgain, could be felt in the tapioca pudding with mango sorbet. The dessert was light, fluffy, and tasted great.
I consider the price of 495 CZK (20 EUR) for the three-course menu and 395 CZK (16 EUR) for the two-course menu to be extraordinary value for money. The restaurant received a Michelin recommendation in 2022 and belongs among the approx. 25 restaurants included in the Czech Michelin list. V Zátiší Restaurant is definitely a great place to go for lunch in Prague.
Bon appétit!
