Triton Restaurant
New Town, Prague 1

The unique ambience of Triton, coupled with the fine dining experience it provides, makes it one of Prague's première Art Nouveau restaurants (Municipal House Restaurant is another).

Set amongst the stalactites, the walls are adorned with statues and sculptures from Greek mythology, recounting the story of Eurydice and her husband Orpheus. While a tropical fish tank adds colour.

Intelligent lighting completes the scene, bouncing off the cave like walls to create a magical, mystical atmosphere.

The menu at Triton features a mix of tempting International cuisine and traditional Czech fare. Meals include succulent steaks, roast duck, veal, dear and fresh fish, all expertly prepared and presented.

There are degustation and gourmet menus too, each of several courses with optional wine pairing. These are a treat, allowing diners the opportunity to sample a selection of the chef's finest works.

The wine list has a selection of Czech and international wines at different price levels.

Triton is a reasonably small, intimate restaurant, and ideal for a romantic occasion, but it also makes an interesting choice for business dinners or groups of friends.

If you are looking for pre-theatre dining, Triton combines well with a trip to the Prague State Opera or Estates Theatre, both of which are only 5-10 minutes walk away.
