Bagel Lounge Prague: Where Michelin Meets Bagels
Bagels are a classic comfort food, but at Bagel Lounge in Prague, they’re taken to a whole new level. Known for blending traditional bagels with creative twists, this spot features not only standard options but also Michelin-starred innovations that will make your taste buds sing. When I found out about this unique concept, it became a top priority on my Prague foodie list.
A Cozy Setting at Bagel Lounge Florenc
We chose to visit their location in Florenc, a charming and cozy restaurant with an inviting atmosphere. When we arrived, the place was packed, with every seat taken. It was clear that Bagel Lounge is a local favorite, and the lively ambiance only added to its appeal.
Thankfully, after a short wait, a table opened up, and the staff wasted no time cleaning it for us and bringing menus. Their efficiency and friendliness made the start of our visit seamless and pleasant.
Michelin-Inspired Bagels: The Highlights
Bagel Lounge’s menu boasts two Michelin-inspired bagels, crafted by top chefs:
- Duck Special by Radek Kašpárek
Created by Radek Kašpárek, the chef of Field, a Michelin-starred restaurant, this bagel features tender, flavorful duck paired with complementary ingredients that elevate the entire dish. It’s a sophisticated creation that feels indulgent yet approachable. - Chicken Spanish by Kiko Moya
This bagel, dreamed up by Kiko Moya of L’Escaleta in Spain, takes inspiration from Spanish flavors. Juicy chicken, expertly seasoned and paired with vibrant spices and unique toppings, creates a flavor profile that’s both bold and satisfying.
While I anticipated that the Duck Special would be my favorite, the Chicken Spanish stole the spotlight. Its fresh, zesty flavors and impeccable balance made it a true standout dish.
