The object was built during the reconstruction of the Vyšehrad cemetery in 1886 as a replacement for the demolished house of the sacristan (No. 11), which was located in the cemetery and interfered with the proposed modifications. The single-storey house is built in the Neo-Gothic style according to a design by Václav Sigmund. Nowadays it serves as a restaurant. A copy of the embossed coat of arms of the Vyšehrad Chapter from the New Deanery building was placed in the gable of the main facade. In 1995, a bronze plaque with a bust of the Czech Queen Eliška Přemyslovna was placed on the corner of the house opposite the church. She lived in Vyšehrad for the last years of her life. The sculpture is the work of academic painter Lumír Šindelář. The author used her relief portrait of the St. Vitus Cathedral's triforium to design the image of Eliška. The plaque was officially unveiled in 1995 to mark the 665th anniversary of the Queen's death.
Objekt byl postaven během úprav vyšehradského hřbitova v roce 1886 jako náhrada za zbořený kostelnický domek (čp.11), který byl umístěn na hřbitově a překážel navrhovaným úpravám. Jednopodlažní stavba , později se zřízením dalšího podkrovního podlaží je postavena ve střízlivém novogotickém slohu podle projektu Václava Sigmunda proti západnímu průčelí baziliky sv. Petra a Pavla. V dnešní době objekt slouží jako restaurační zařízení. Ve štítu hlavního průčelí byla umístěna kopie reliéfního erbu Vyšehradské kapituly z budovy Nového děkanství. Na nároží domu proti kostelu byla v roce 1995 umístěna bronzová deska s bustou české královny Elišky Přemyslovny, která na Vyšehradě prožila poslední léta svého života. Plastika je dílem akademického malíře Lumíra Šindeláře. Autor použil pro návrh podoby Elišky její reliéfní portrét z triforia svatovítského chrámu. Deska byla slavnostně odhalena v roce 1995, u příležitosti 665. výročí...

We have visited the awesome St Peter basilica e.g. on our way back I wanted to have a coffee in peace and asked my wife "let's have a break here".. I went in.. all tables were occupied, which were on the sunny part, I saw one table in the shadowy part and took it , put it under the sun.. suddenly a guy went shouting out and shouted "PUT IT BAAAACK!!!!!" I was so scared and shocked at these moment and I couldn't even reply, 3 sec later I just replied "you could say it a little bit kindlier!" He went back in and I followed him back inside, I said "sir, I'm sorry, but can we have the table under the sun?" He made the shhh gesture and said "QUIET!" I was again shocked!!

Read moreLots of reviews say they don’t take cards, but I’ve been coming here for three years and have paid by card no problem. Maybe during the height of the tourist season they refuse to take cards? No idea.
Today I had a beer and the beef burger with cheese and bacon which was served with potato chips (“crisps”) that were stale (maybe because it’s a rainy day today).
When the waiter came to collect my plate I told him the chips (which I didn’t eat) were stale and he barely grunted. I found that behavior to be quite rude, and was ready to leave in a huff. I asked him a minute or two later for the bill and said I’d pay by card. He comped me the beer.
Czech servers can be rude or gruff, and this guy was a great example of that. It’s not common, but you will encounter it. There is another waiter here who is always quite nice and the food really is very good so YMMV.
I’ve never had anyone be rude to me at Cafe Bistro Citadela, and the beer garden Na Hradbach is pretty nice and quite...
