| The famous Triton Restaurant on Wenceslas Square in Prague opened in 1912. It is a beautiful cellar restaurant built to resemble a stalactite cave. The unique ambience of Triton, combined with its fine dining experience, makes it one of Prague’s première Art Nouveau restaurants (Municipal House Restaurant is another). The walls of the restaurant are adorned with statues and sculptures from Greek mythology, recounting the story of Eurydice and her husband Orpheus. A tropical fish tank adds colour, while intelligent lighting completes the scene, reflecting off the stalactites and cave-like walls to create a magical, mystical atmosphere. Triton’s menu is a thoughtful blend of International and Czech cuisine, featuring a variety of meat, fish and vegetarian fish dishes. All meals are expertly prepared and presented.
Triton’s signature tasting menus are particularly popular. Each offers a carefully balanced sequence of courses, giving diners the opportunity to sample a selection of the chef’s finest work. Optional wine pairing is also available. The wine list includes a good selection of Czech and International wines across a range of prices. Triton is a reasonably intimate restaurant and is well suited to a romantic occasion. It is also an interesting choice for groups of friends or families, as well as for business lunches. For pre-theatre dining, Triton combines well with a visit to the Prague State Opera or Estates Theatre, both of which are only a 5–10 minute walk away. |
