Výčep
Prague, Czechia; Korunní 1304/92, Prague, 101 00, Czechia
Výčep describes itself as a modern Wallachian pub, a useful clue to both its food and its atmosphere. On Korunní in Vinohrady, wooden tables and benches support a lively room where an ambitious kitchen works within the familiar framework of a Czech inn. It is a restaurant for conversation and appetite, with substantial culinary work taking place behind the casual presentation. The team makes bread, cheeses, salamis and preserves, and draws on produce it gathers, grows or obtains from selected farmers. Michelin highlights langoš with bryndza sheep’s cheese and smoked cracklings, followed by a větrník filled with caramel and vanilla cream. These examples convey the pleasure of recognisable regional flavours given careful, individual treatment. Dalešice beer and Czech or Moravian wines provide natural partners. A Bib Gourmand in the 2025 Czechia guide recognises the restaurant’s value. Its inclusion here reflects a broader strength: Výčep shows how a neighbourhood pub can be a serious food destination while retaining its sociable purpose. Come with friends, order across the menu and leave room for something sweet.
