Grand Cru - Prague

It was delicious, probably the second best place I've ever eaten in my life (the first one being some really expensive french restaurant) Though quite pricy compared to the usual restaurant in Prague, this restaurant greatly compensates by the various savors of its meals... The food are in reasonable quantities, not especially light but also not too much, and you will get out of there with a full belly and still the ability to walk... Would recommend 10/10

A fine-dining restaurant with pleasant calm ambiance and a great wine selection. The service is professional but for me maybe a more friendly attitude would be welcomed. When it comes to food, I have always been very satisfied. The catch of the day is a great choice and so is the meat. I was a bit surprised when they told me they were not sure as to whether they would be able to prepare potatoes as a side....but eventually they did manage. Overall a nice place but there are some minor details that don't make it a 5-star yet.

Grand Cru is a Michelin star restaurant recommended by the Taste of Prague blog. If you are not familiar with Taste of Prague, you should check their website and blog out ASAP. They are a must use resource for foodies travelling to Prague. As suggested by TOP, we visited during lunch to take advantage of the lunch specials. We did seem a bit out of place two young adults in our 20's surrounded by suits and ties. The host seating us was rather rude, perhaps due to our age. Thankfully, our server was top notch. Grand Cru offered a two course lunch special for 13 euros. The options consisted of a soup or salad to start and two mains to choose from. We were not overly ecstatic about the lunch special starters or mains, so we decided to order a couple dishes a la carte. My girlfriend ordered the Brazilian sirloin steak with pepper sauce, homemade french fries, and an fried egg. Price: $22 euros. Like any high end restaurant, the portion size was small. However, the quality of the meat warranted the price tag. Lightly spiced and cooked to a perfect medium rare, the meat was succulent, especially when paired with the lightly fried egg. French fries were delectable. I ordered the Chef's Special: Pigeon breast, almond ravioli with cherries and smoked thyme sauce. Pigeon consommé, armagnac and ginger. Pigeon liver and foie gras ice cream. Price: $30 euros. The dish was a bit rich for our taste buds. Cooked to a perfect medium rare, the pigeon breast was the highlight. The smoked thyme sauce and almong ravioli were very tasty compliments to the breast, but overall the dish was lacking flavour. The Pigeon Consomme, armagnac and ginger consisted of pigeon feet in a small soup. It was far too rich... not my favourite dish. Lastly, the pigeon liver and foie gras ice cream was inedible. The meal was definitely a culinary experience. Overall, we enjoyed the experience at Grand Cru.

We stumbled onto this wonderful restaurant after being turned away on a Saturday night from several other, more touristy places. Lucky us. The food here is truly exceptional, and the waitstaff took excellent care of us. The sommelier opened a new syrah for me to go with my deer, which was phenomenal. The foie gras appetizer is magical don't miss the wine reduction dots on the plate, which add a tangy fruitiness to complement the creamy pâté. The deer entree was also rich and hearty, full of complex flavors that made each bite dynamic and unique. The only thing that didn't live up quite as much as the rest was the risotto that went with the fish of the day, which was far too salty. My wife had no problems with it as long as she ate it with the fish it was fine, but since the execution on everything else was so much stronger, this stood out as mediocre. I had a tiny bit of bone on the deer, which wasn't supposed to be there, but not enough to bother with it happens sometimes with game and with food this fresh. I let the waiter know, and thought no more of it. The chef, however, treated me to a delicious tawny port to make up for the bone sliver, which was very generous. For a wonderful dinner where the staff know how to take care of a guest, definitely give this one a try.

Excellent service from the staff and the food was picture worthy, they all came out tasty and beautiful. Highly recommend this place when visiting Prague for fine dining. We had the tasting menu with wine pairing. Best dish was the foie gras appetizer for sure.
