La Veranda and Babiččina Zahrada:
Feel Better in a Restaurant than at Home
31. 08.2022
Both the heart of Prague and beautiful Průhonice Castle Park are the locations of gastronomic pearls: La Veranda restaurant is an oasis of peace in the centre of the metropolis, and its “sister” enterprise, Babiččina Zahrada (“Grandma’s Garden”) is situated in Průhonice.
Our Secret Tip
La Veranda restaurant is situated in the midst of the romantic streets of the Old Town and has been our heart’s desire for 20 years. Here one can forget the hustle and bustle of the big city and be transported to the sunny countryside for a while, such as somewhere in Provence. Our secret tip: ask for Thai Soup, which is not on the menu, but if you know about it, it will be served to you. The menu often changes here, but Steak Tartare with smoked yolk and truffles remains constant in different variations. Savour the food to understand what a “symphony of tastes” means and why this company is also recommended by the Michelin Gastronomic Guide. The Wine List contains gems to enchant the taste buds, some of which we guarantee will be included in your home wine stock.
Let Yourself be Pampered
The atmosphere has always been good at Grandma’s, just as guests will always feel good at Babiččina Zahrada in Průhonice, which is the “sister” restaurant of La Veranda. While it offers mainly Mediterranean and international cuisine, Babiččina Zahrada selects first-class ingredients from local small farmers and producers to prepare traditional meals. The outdoor restaurant, hidden amidst greenery, offers seating in romantic gazebos for two, as well as for larger groups. Relax with a picnic or enjoy a barbecue in the fragrant herb garden. There is also an indoor restaurant awaiting guests, and the guesthouse provides accommodation with cosy bedrooms and top service in the form of relaxing massages and therapies.
The gastronomic scene in Prague is very extensive and there are several establishments which one should visit at least once in a lifetime. Restaurateur Jurij Kolesnik, with more than twenty years of experience in the industry, even owns three of these. Each one has a different concept, boasting a distinctive atmosphere imprinted on them by this restaurateur and his team.
A pleasant walk along Rašín embankment with a view of Prague Castle can quickly turn into an adventurous trip to Latin America. It only takes a few steps to become absorbed in the relaxed atmosphere of Cantina Mexican restaurant, to be served traditional cuisine and over 40 types of Tequila.
