After less than a year, I was happy to return for the lunch menu at my favorite V Zátiší Restaurant. Between one and two o'clock, the restaurant was full of guests who, judging by their attire, most likely came for a "business lunch". Even if ties and jackets aren't your thing, don't hesitate to visit the restaurant.
As a starter, I chose goose kaldoun, one of the traditional Czech soups. Kaldoun is a dish already made famous by Magdalena Dobromila Rettigová. It is a soup made from poultry giblets and trimmings (liver, heart, neck, or wings); in the past, it was often prepared alongside the St. Martin's goose so that every part of the animal was utilized. Nutmeg is a typical spice for kaldoun. The soup was prepared with carrot and parsley noodles and was excellent.
Goose breast and confit leg, red cabbage cream, truffle stuffing, and strong gravy were served as the main course. I love the taste of truffles and literally couldn't get enough of the stuffing. The breast was pan-seared, while the leg was slow-roasted and already deboned.
Chocolate mousse with flambéed marshmallow, dried orange, and fresh blackberries was served as dessert. The taste of the dessert certainly lived up to the very beautiful food styling.
You can visit V Zátiší Restaurant for the lunch menu every weekday; the three-course menu costs 595 CZK (24 EUR), and you can choose from two options for starters and main courses. Despite the price increase of one hundred crowns (4 EUR), I think it still offers great value for money; the food tastes great, the service is impeccable, and the premises in the center of Prague are cozy. The restaurant is listed in the Czech Michelin Guide. I recommend booking in advance.
If you are not familiar with V Zátiší Restaurant, try visiting it for the first time, perhaps for a more festive lunch.
Bon appétit!
