Overview
Café Imperial, located at Na Poříčí 1072/15, remains one of the most famous grand cafés in Prague, offering a window into the elegance of the early 20th century. Upon entering, guests are surrounded by breathtaking original 1914 Art Nouveau ceramic wall tiles and an intricate mosaic ceiling, all framed by large, street-facing windows. The kitchen, led by celebrity chef Zdeněk Pohlreich, focuses on classic Czech cuisine refined with a modern, professional touch. Signature offerings include tender Braised Veal Cheeks, flavorful Braised Lamb Shank, and the beloved house-made Imperial Cake. Beyond dinner, the café hosts an extensive American-style breakfast buffet every morning, complete with omelet stations, fresh pastries, and artisanal marmalades. As an inclusion in the 2026 MICHELIN Guide, the restaurant maintains high service standards and a lively, historic atmosphere that has hosted figures like Franz Kafka and Leoš Janáček for over a century.
