The story
Mazel Vinohrady brings a botanical approach to modern Czech cuisine in the heart of Prague. Over 1,500 exotic plants grow directly among the tables inside this expansive dining room. The living canopy creates a calm backdrop for meals, while the staff maintains a steady rhythm throughout both lunch and dinner service.
Gault & Millau recognized the kitchen’s precise handling of local ingredients when awarding the venue a 12.5 score. Cooks advance contemporary Czech cooking by reinterpreting familiar staples through careful technique rather than heavy alteration. A roasted celery cream soup demonstrates how humble roots can become refined centerpieces, while Znojmo-style roast beef receives a streamlined presentation. Even vegetable sides rely on butter roasting and pickling to build depth.
Diners frequently order steaks sourced from the restaurant’s own aging room, including rib eye on the bone and USDA tenderloin cut to order. The grill also handles fire-roasted portobello mushrooms topped with fresh truffle and mushroom consommé. Bartenders pair these plates with botanical-forward cocktails like the Garden Fizz, which blends Broker’s gin with pea-infused tonic. Guests often finish the meal with an apricot fashion éclair or a selection of aged spirits.
