Bib Gourmand restaurants in Prague

Bib Gourmand

Another Michelin award, the Bib Gourmand, which is awarded to restaurants with “exceptionally good food at moderate prices”, have five restaurants:

  • Divinis – an Italian restaurant owned by Zdenek Pohlreich, with Miro Čornanin as the chef.
  • Eska – a restaurant with a bakery from the Ambiente network. Martin Štangl is the chef and their most famous dish is potatoes in ash with smoked fish. I like to go to Eska mainly for breakfast and sometimes for some pastries or a croissant.
  • Na Kopci – Czech and French cuisine, with Petr Vlk as the chef. When I used to live and work on the other side of the river, I would come here quite often, mainly for a good steak tartare.
  • The Eatery – based on traditional Czech cuisine, with Pavel Býček as the chef (formerly the head chef at the Michelin-starred Alcron).
  • Dejvicka 34 – modern cuisine, especially Italian, with Tomas Černý as the chef.

History of Michelin-starred restaurants in Prague

The first restaurant to gain a Michelin star was Allegro in the Four Seasons hotel, in 2008, under chef Andrea Accordi. This restaurant had been awarded the star three times, but later closed. Also picking up a Michelin star, in 2009, was the Maze restaurant in the Hilton hotel, with chef Gordon Ramsay, but this restaurant closed even before the award had been announced. Alcron restaurant had a Michelin star for six years (2012–2017), but lost it in 2018. No restaurant in Prague has ever been awarded more than one star.

Sansho lost his Bib in 2021, Bistrøt 104 in 2019. Sasazu and Aureole lost their Bib Gourmand in 2018. Maso a Kobliha was closed in 2018.
