Červený jelen

Červený Jelen has carved out a unique space in Prague's dining scene as a serious destination for carnivores. The restaurant occupies a beautifully restored Cubist-Modernist former bank building, and the atmosphere is both impressive and welcoming—high ceilings, muted colors, and an open kitchen where the two-ton Inferno grill from Washington takes center stage. The menu is straightforward but executed with precision: think perfectly seasoned beef tartare, 12-hour smoked brisket slathered in rich barbecue sauce, and of course, the wagyu steaks that can range from affordable to eye-wateringly expensive depending on how deep you want to go.

The service is professional and efficient, with waiters in white shirts moving quickly through the cavernous space. It's a place where well-heeled professionals gather to indulge their inner meat-lover, though you'll find locals of all kinds enjoying the experience. The beer selection is excellent, featuring perfectly poured Pilsner from their impressive beer tower. While the prices lean upscale, the quality justifies the cost, especially if you're sharing a Tomahawk steak or wagyu platter with friends. It's not a cozy neighborhood spot—it's a destination for those who want to eat serious meat in serious style.
