The story
TARO brings a distinctively modern take on Vietnamese cuisine to Prague, rooted in the childhood memories of brothers Khanh and Giang Ta. Chef Khanh Ta leads the pass, treating every plate as a canvas for personal experimentation and cultural reflection. A 2026 Gault&Millau score of 16 validates the consistent precision behind his daily output.
The kitchen serves an exclusively evolving tasting menu that pairs established Vietnamese flavors with fresh produce from nearby Czech farms. Guests encounter dishes like sea zander finished with kumquat, delicate freshwater shrimp preparations, and steamed dumplings folded with truffle. Duck arrives in multiple forms placed at the table center, echoing traditional family-style dining.
Set within the historic Dunaj Palace, the dining room balances minimalist architecture with quiet Asian references. Warm timber surfaces and dark stone tiles ground the space, while soft illumination highlights the central twenty-seat bar counter. Guests watch every knife cut and flame flare under Chef Khanh’s direction, turning preparation into a focused theatrical display.
