Restaurace Pět peněz — Restaurant in Prague

Note: I only spent around around 40 seconds in this institution. For all I know, both the food and the service may otherwise be wonderful.

I entered approximately ten minutes past ten a Sunday evening and approached the first person I saw, a guy behind the bar. He looked rather busy, so to spare his time, I did not ask whether he spoke any English, as I normally would. Instead I asked, "Would it be possible to eat here now?" while miming eating by moving my hands towards my mouth. He raised his head, looked intensely at me and said, "Czech restaurant. Czech food. Czech people. Czech language." My initial reaction was that this must be some kind of xenophobic joke, so I chuckled a little and apologised. But he maintained the cruel demeanour and parroted my laughter loudly and exaggeratedly before he finally lowered his head and continued working.

I am normally extremely tolerant of what is called one calls "bad service". I think there should be room for the grumpy and stern in the service industry. I must have lived a blessed life in these respects, because this may be the first time ever that I absolutely dismiss an institution on account of the treatment received. I look forward to a xenophobia-free dining experience tomorrow and empathise with everone who must deal with stuff like this (and far worse)...

A Flavorful Feast from Start to Finish

From the moment you walk in, this restaurant sets the tone for a memorable dining experience. The atmosphere strikes a perfect balance between cozy and refined, but the real highlight is, without a doubt, the food.

The starters alone are worth the visit—thoughtfully prepared and bursting with flavor.A delicately seasoned bruschetta with attention to detail and freshness that whets the appetite for what’s to come.

The star of the show, though, is the meat. Cooked to perfection with just the right sear and tenderness, rich flavors, proper seasoning, and ideal doneness.The meat is consistently juicy and flavorful.

But what truly surprised me was the fried cheese—crispy on the outside, irresistibly melty inside.

In all, this place doesn’t just serve a meal—it delivers an experience. It’s a rare find where every course earns your attention. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates quality ingredients and expert preparation. And on top of everything,...

I was here for lunch during work break with my boss. Their pork sirloin with baked potatoes was delicious. My boss had beef and it was very good too. The place has very nice ambience. I really like the atmosphere of the school classroom from the 1930. The prices for daily menu is below 200 CZK including side dish which is cheaper than in our office canteen. The service staff was helpful and told us the daily menu in English. We paid with credit card. We will for sure visit this...
