Best Restaurants Open Monday in Prague 2026

Prague breaks the usual fine-dining rule: Monday here is not a write-off. The city even keeps a Michelin star open at the start of the week, while only La Degustation, the second starred room, takes Monday off. Around it sit the grand riverside dining rooms with castle views, the Art Nouveau halls, and the all-day cafes of the Ambiente group that never close on a Monday. Six rooms confirm Monday hours below, ranked by what each is for, from the star you can still book to the breakfast room under a gilded ceiling, in Czech koruna.

Why Prague is different on a Monday

Most great dining cities go quiet on a Monday. Prague is the exception. Field, one of the city's two Michelin-starred rooms, serves Monday lunch and dinner, which makes it one of the few starred tables in Europe you can book at the start of the week. La Degustation, the other star, closes Monday and Tuesday, so Field is the headline. Around it, the grand hotel and riverside rooms keep full Monday service.

The reason is the Ambiente group, the company behind Eska, Lokal and Cafe Savoy, which built its name on all-day, every-day service, and the riverside institutions like Bellevue and Kampa Park that run on tourist rhythms rather than a chef's rest day. The order below leads with the star, then the rooms with the best castle views, then the grand cafes that open at breakfast. Every hour was checked against each restaurant's published schedule in June 2026. For the wider week, start with the Prague dining guide.

The Monday list

1

Field

Modern European, one Michelin star · Old Town, Prague · Kc 1,100–4,000 per head

Monday hours: Monday, 11:00–14:30 & 18:00–22:30

Field is the headline of any Prague Monday: a Michelin star you can actually book at the start of the week, while La Degustation, the city's other starred room, stays dark. Chef Radek Kasparek cooks a playful modern-European tasting in a converted Old Town building near the river, the dishes built on Czech produce and a touch of theatre. The weekday two-course lunch starts near Kc 1,100; the degustation menus run from about Kc 2,900 up to Kc 4,000. It serves Monday lunch and dinner, eleven to half past two and six to half past ten. Book a week or two out for a Monday dinner.

2

Bellevue

French & Czech fine dining · Smetanovo nabrezi, Old Town · Kc 1,200–2,500 per head

Monday hours: Monday, 12:00–15:00 & 17:30–23:00

Bellevue holds the best dinner view in the city, a riverside dining room on Smetanovo nabrezi looking straight across the Vltava to Prague Castle and the Charles Bridge. The kitchen runs classic French and Czech fine dining, the beef cheek and the river fish the orders, with a meal around Kc 1,200 to Kc 2,500 a head. It opens Monday for lunch and dinner, noon to three and half past five to eleven. Book a window table for the sunset sitting when the castle lights up over the water, the romantic Monday table in Prague.

3

Kampa Park

International riverside · Kampa, Mala Strana · Kc 1,200–2,500 per head

Monday hours: Monday, 11:30–15:30 & 17:30–23:30

Kampa Park sits on the Kampa island waterfront under the Charles Bridge, a long-running international room that has fed visiting heads of state and rock stars for thirty years. The kitchen runs seafood and grills with a Czech accent, the lobster and the beef the fixtures, a meal about Kc 1,200 to Kc 2,500 a head. It opens Monday from half past eleven to half past three and again from half past five to half past eleven. Book the riverside terrace in warm weather, where the bridge and the castle fill the view, the prime Monday table on the Mala Strana side.

4

Cafe Imperial

Grand Czech, chef Zdenek Pohlreich · Nove Mesto, Prague · Kc 600–1,200 per head

Monday hours: Monday, 07:00–23:00

Cafe Imperial is the grand Art Nouveau hall near the Powder Tower, a 1914 room tiled floor to ceiling in ceramic mosaic and run by Zdenek Pohlreich, the country's best-known chef. The cooking is confident Czech and international: the schnitzel, the svickova and the roast duck, a meal around Kc 600 to Kc 1,200 a head, strong value for the setting. It opens Monday from seven in the morning to eleven at night, so it covers breakfast under the mosaics, a long lunch and a full dinner. Book ahead for a weekday dinner; the room is a Prague set piece.

5

Eska

Modern Czech, Bib Gourmand · Karlin, Prague · Kc 800–1,500 per head

Monday hours: Monday, 08:00–23:30

Eska is the modern face of Czech cooking, a converted Karlin factory with a bakery on the ground floor and a Bib Gourmand dining room above. The kitchen works fire and fermentation over local produce, the potato cooked in beeswax and the house breads the signatures, a meal about Kc 800 to Kc 1,500 a head. It opens Monday from eight in the morning to half past eleven at night, one of the few serious kitchens that runs all day at the start of the week. Come for the bakery breakfast or stay for the tasting; either works on a Monday in Karlin.

6

Cafe Savoy

Grand Viennese-style cafe · Smichov, Prague · Kc 500–900 per head

Monday hours: Monday, 08:00–22:30

Cafe Savoy is the most beautiful breakfast and lunch room in Prague, a 1893 cafe under a restored neo-Renaissance ceiling just over the river in Smichov, run by the Ambiente group behind Lokal and Eska. The cooking is classic cafe fare done properly: the Savoy breakfast, the veal schnitzel and the house pastries, a meal around Kc 500 to Kc 900 a head. It opens Monday from eight in the morning to half past ten at night. It is the easy, all-day Monday pick, as good for a long breakfast under the gilded ceiling as for an early dinner.

How to book a Monday table in Prague

Prague is an easy Monday city, but the best tables still want notice. Field, the Michelin star, is the one to book first: reserve a week or two out for a Monday dinner, or take the far easier weekday lunch. Bellevue and Kampa Park both take Monday bookings, and the table you want is a window or terrace seat over the river, so ask for it by name when you reserve. Cafe Imperial, Eska and Cafe Savoy run all day and rarely turn away a weekday booking, though a grand-room dinner at Imperial rewards a reservation. A solo diner does well at Eska's counter or a cafe table at Savoy, a comfortable solo-dining move. Starting the week with a client? Field and Bellevue are the rooms to impress a client in Prague; for a group, Cafe Imperial seats a crowd for a Prague team dinner.

Frequently asked questions

Are any Michelin restaurants open on Monday in Prague?

Yes, one. Field, the modern-European room in the Old Town under chef Radek Kasparek, holds a Michelin star in the 2026 guide and serves both lunch and dinner on Monday, which makes it one of the few starred tables in Europe you can book at the start of the week. La Degustation, the city's other star, closes Monday. For the wider scene, see the Prague dining guide.

Is Field restaurant open on Monday in Prague?

Yes. Field serves Monday lunch from eleven to half past two and dinner from six to half past ten. The weekday two-course lunch starts around Kc 1,100, and the degustation menus run from about Kc 2,900 to Kc 4,000. Because it is a one-star room with limited seats, a Monday dinner still books out, so reserve a week or two ahead. The lunch is the easier and cheaper way in if you want to taste chef Radek Kasparek's cooking.

Where can I get dinner with a castle view on Monday in Prague?

Bellevue or Kampa Park, both open Monday and both on the river. Bellevue, on Smetanovo nabrezi, looks across the Vltava to Prague Castle and the Charles Bridge, and serves French and Czech fine dining from noon, with dinner to eleven. Kampa Park sits under the bridge on Kampa island with a waterfront terrace. Book a window or terrace table at either for the sunset sitting when the castle lights up. A meal at both lands around Kc 1,200 to Kc 2,500 a head.

What is the best-value restaurant open Monday in Prague?

Cafe Savoy in Smichov, a grand 1893 cafe run by the Ambiente group, where a full meal under the restored ceiling lands about Kc 500 to Kc 900 a head. It opens Monday from eight in the morning to half past ten at night, so it covers a long breakfast, lunch and an early dinner. Cafe Imperial, Zdenek Pohlreich's Art Nouveau hall, is the next step up at around Kc 600 to Kc 1,200, also open all day Monday.

Do Prague restaurants close on Mondays?

Fewer than you would expect. Unlike Paris or Madrid, Prague keeps much of its dining open on Monday, including the Michelin-starred Field and the all-day Ambiente cafes such as Eska and Cafe Savoy. The main Monday closure among the top rooms is La Degustation, the city's second star. The riverside institutions, Bellevue and Kampa Park, run full Monday service. Check each room's hours before travelling, but a good Monday meal in Prague is easy to find.
