The story
SaSaZu Restaurant in Prague presents a distinctive Asian culinary approach inside one of the main halls at Holešovice Market. Giant paper lanterns hang above a dining room where tables form an intricate maze. The layout creates a quiet theatricality as staff navigate the pathways with practiced precision. You can often watch two servers take different routes to deliver the same order, arriving simultaneously.
The kitchen focuses on unconventional Asian recipes that prioritize layered regional ingredients. A beef Shanghai bao arrives with a sudden burst of spice and tenderness. Grilled rib eye steak pairs with a cold truffle and ginger sauce that cuts through the richness. Potato croquettes coated in black and white sesame seeds accompany a sharp rocket salad dressed with chili and onion.
Gault&Millau awarded this kitchen a score of thirteen for its consistent execution and aromatic complexity. Service remains careful yet relaxed, balancing strict timing with a subtle informality. Guests frequently step outside their comfort zones to try unfamiliar regional pairings. The sommelier guides these choices with wines that match the intensity of each plate.
