The story
420 Restaurant occupies a prime spot across from the Astronomical Clock in Prague, delivering a refined interpretation of Czech cuisine within the historic U Červené lišky building. Recognized in the Michelin Guide 2025 and awarded 15 points by Gault&Millau, the kitchen under Michelin-starred chef Radek Kašpárek and Marek Komínek focuses on honest ingredients and dishes that evoke childhood memories while remaining light and contemporary. The team balances respect for beloved recipes with inventive presentation, drawing inspiration from the Czech telephone code that names the establishment.
The menu features playful yet precise preparations, starting with a duck pâté molded into the shape of a bird and coated in sour cherries, served with apple jam, hazelnut ice cream, and a crackling bun resting on a ceramic duck leg. Main courses highlight rabbit confit slow-cooked in olive oil with rabbit kidneys and pickled mustard, accompanied by gratin lasagna and roasted garlic oil. A veal schnitzel fried in clarified butter arrives with a béchamel made from mature cheeses and truffle-scented mashed potatoes. Desserts provide a whimsical finish with the Katowice Cigar, a tube of chocolate whipped cream and sour cherry jam presented in an ashtray with poppy seed ash.
Production extends into the Gothic cellar where the kitchen bakes fresh home-made bread daily and cures its own sausages on site. Guests can sample these staples at the table or purchase them to take away. Interior design merges Baroque architectural elements with modern touches, creating a setting suitable for both family gatherings and business meals. Patrons can complement their meals with a broad selection of wines primarily sourced from international producers, while offering a curated list of local beers and craft cocktails for those seeking alternative pairings.
