The story
Zdenek's Oyster Bar in Prague sits just steps from the Old Town Square, delivering a focused seafood experience grounded in natural flavors and precise technique.
Chef David Vlášek directs operations with a commitment to naturalness, seasonality, and the highest grade of ingredients. Foragers gather herbs, flowers, and mushrooms from the woodlands of Český kras, allowing these wild aromatics to enhance standard preparations. This approach ensures the kitchen balances international influences with local terroir, maintaining a rigorous standard across every course.
The raw bar features Gillardeau n°2, Tsarskaya, and Pink Diamond oysters, all served at peak freshness. Hot plates rely on the Josper grill to lock in moisture, producing octopus accompanied by mussels and potatoes, or a lobster dish finished with speck, garlic, and butter. Savory selections extend to a beef tartare enriched with anchovies, while desserts like the chocolate mousse with white chocolate provide a sweet conclusion.
The restaurant holds a 12.5 rating from Gault&Millau, reflecting the quality of its seafood and the warmth of its service. A curated champagne selection presents bottles from major houses and niche family brands, catering to guests seeking a celebratory atmosphere. The interior design fosters an energetic yet welcoming environment, perfectly suited to the casual elegance of the menu.
