LEVITATE
Prague, Czechia; Vinohradská 1228/47, Prague, 12000, Czechia
LEVITATE turns dinner into a sequence of spaces as well as dishes. Behind an unassuming Vinohrady frontage, the experience begins in a cellar bar, where exposed brickwork provides a setting for aperitifs and small bites. Diners then move to the principal dining room, with options including a long communal-style table and smaller round tables. The kitchen combines predominantly Czech ingredients with Asian seasoning and Nordic techniques. That mixture gives the tasting menu its identity: local produce is interpreted through a culinary vocabulary that travels beyond Central Europe. Michelin describes contrasting flavours and a succession of carefully constructed courses, with the extended format allowing the restaurant to develop its ideas gradually. Awarded a Michelin star in the 2025 national selection, LEVITATE is particularly suited to diners who enjoy an immersive evening. The multi-stage service and changing menu make advance discussion of dietary requirements worthwhile. It earns its place in this selection for presenting a different account of Prague’s contemporary food scene, one shaped by international influences while keeping Czech ingredients close to the centre of the plate.
