Prague's only Nikkei kitchen — and it delivers
SenSa is doing something genuinely unique in Prague — it's the only restaurant in the city dedicated to Nikkei cuisine, that fascinating Japanese-Peruvian fusion born from Lima's diaspora. Executive Chef Martin Čermák clearly knows his craft; he's spent years traveling from Prague's top kitchens to the markets of Lima and backstreets of Taipei, and it shows in every plate. The ceviche-style preparations with Japanese knife work, the anticuchos with nikkei sauces, the delicate tiraditos — this is food that respects both traditions without dumbing either down.
The tasting menu is the way to go if you want the full experience. Five courses from Chef Čermák paired with five cocktails will run you a fair amount, but the quality justifies it — reviewers consistently praise the attention to detail and the love that goes into each dish. If you're not ready for the full tasting, the à la carte and the weekend brunch are excellent entry points. The Sunday brunch (12–16) is a more relaxed affair but still delivers the same flavor precision.
The space is modern and quiet, just down the street from the Powder Gate Tower — a surprisingly calm pocket in the tourist-heavy center. Service gets high marks across reviews. It's not cheap by Prague standards, but for the caliber of cooking, it's one of the best values for ambitious dining in the city.
