Restaurace U Mecenase
About
Nestled in the historic Malostranský náměstí, Restaurace U Mecenáše blends centuries of Czech heritage with modern culinary flair. The family‑run restaurant dates back to the 13th century, boasting original Gothic cellars and an ornate Austro‑Hungarian salon that once hosted luminaries such as Tycho Brahe and Johannes Kepler.
