The story
MeatEater steak&wine in Prague establishes itself as a serious steakhouse destination, where owner and grillmaster Daniele Govoni applies methods honed as the 2022 European SCA champion. Head chef Lukáš Cerovský pairs these advanced cooking techniques with seasonal produce and complex sauces to build a menu centered on exceptional beef while also highlighting pork, veal, and pigeon. The kitchen operates with a focus on precision, turning raw cuts into perfectly executed plates through rigorous training and attention to detail.
The Gault&Millau guide highlights the restaurant's ability to deliver juicy, flavorful steaks alongside distinctive accompaniments, pointing to the award-winning Porterhouse Swami from Denmark as a standout. This cut won gold at the World Steak Challenge in 2022, sitting alongside other medal-winning dry-aged selections like the Polish Sashi AAA. Guests can also explore the wet-aged USDA Prime strip loin or indulge in the Japanese black A5 Wagyu filet mignon, both served with options such as saffron aioli or chimichurri. Beyond the main course, the smoked pork belly offers a rich texture balanced by chicharron and barbecue foam, while the tiramisu draws praise for its intense flavor profile.
Manager and sommelier David Černý guides guests through the wine list in a compact dining room that accommodates an intimate crowd. The space features comfortable seating and extends to an outdoor area, creating a focused environment where the team can provide attentive service. While the Gault&Millau review notes that the interior aesthetic may not appeal to everyone, the emphasis remains firmly on the culinary execution and the quality of the ingredients. The small footprint allows the staff to maintain a personal connection with every table, ensuring that the elaborate preparations receive the proper context during the meal.
