Tucked away on Vinohradská, Levitate is Prague’s most intriguing culinary secret—a Michelin-starred experience that feels more like an intimate dinner party than a restaurant. The space is deceptively unassuming from the street, but step into the cellar bar with its exposed brick and modern touches, and you’re immediately transported. What follows is a 12–18 course journey blending Nordic precision, Czech ingredients, and the owner’s Thai heritage—think deconstructed goulash or venison with unexpected Thai spices. It’s not just dinner; it’s a conversation with food, best savored at the long “private table” where you can watch the kitchen work its magic.
A Culinary Journey Like No Other
Levitate is the kind of place that makes you forget you’re in Prague and pretend you’re in Copenhagen or Bangkok instead. The tasting menu is a masterclass in contrasts—Czech root vegetables treated with Scandinavian precision, Thai herbs dancing with game meats, all plated with the kind of artistry that makes you hesitate before taking the first bite. The service is warm but never intrusive, and the cellar bar sets the mood perfectly with its mix of old brick and sleek modern design. It’s not cheap, but every course feels like a revelation. If you’re looking for something that challenges your palate and rewards your curiosity, this is it.
