Oblaca Restaurant in Prague’s TV Tower
If you’re searching for a dining experience that combines stunning views with high-quality cuisine, Oblaca Restaurant, located in Prague’s iconic TV Tower, is the perfect spot. Situated 66 meters above the ground, this restaurant offers a unique perspective of the city, accompanied by an impressive menu that exceeded our expectations.
An Unforgettable Location
The TV Tower itself is one of Prague’s most fascinating landmarks. Its modern design stands out against the city’s historic skyline, and Oblaca Restaurant takes full advantage of its prime location.
We visited on a misty day, which initially obscured the view. However, as the mist began to clear, we caught glimpses of Prague’s beauty from above—an unforgettable sight. For the best experience, we’d recommend visiting during spring or summer when clear skies make the panoramic views even more breathtaking.
Enthusiastic Service
One of the highlights of Oblaca was the passionate sommelier, who took great care to match wines to our preferences and dishes. His enthusiasm and deep knowledge added a personalized touch to our meal.
While the restaurant offers a course menu, we decided to create our own dining experience, selecting several dishes that piqued our interest.
Exquisite Dishes
Given the location, we were prepared for Oblaca to lean more toward being a tourist hotspot, but we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. Each dish was thoughtfully prepared, with a focus on fresh, high-quality ingredients.
Here’s what we tried:
- Veal Tartare
Served with black truffle, quail egg, and truffle brioche, this dish was fresh and indulgent. The combination of flavors was spot-on, with the truffle adding an earthy depth to the tartare. - Brazilian Beef Tenderloin Carpaccio
This dish featured tender, flavorful beef paired with dried egg yolk, herb croutons, and Grana Trentino cheese. A perfectly balanced starter that showcased the chef’s skill. - Marinated Venison Loin
A standout dish, served with chestnut tarte, beef millefeuille, and a sea buckthorn sauce that added a tangy, unexpected twist. The venison was tender and expertly cooked. - Grilled Beef Tenderloin
Accompanied by a potato truffle soufflé, butternut squash, okra, and a rich Zacapa jus, this dish was both hearty and refined—a must-try for meat lovers.
For dessert, we opted for the cheese platter. While the portions were generous, the selection itself was fairly basic, and we had hoped for something a bit more unique to complement the otherwise elevated dining experience.
Exceptional Wine Pairings
Our meal began with a glass of fine champagne and later moved on to a 2014 vintage red wine recommended by the sommelier. The wine selection at Oblaca is impressive, and the staff’s expertise ensures that each glass perfectly complements your meal.
Final Thoughts
Dining at Oblaca Restaurant is about more than just the food—it’s an experience that combines breathtaking views, enthusiastic service, and a well-curated menu. While the cheese platter didn’t quite meet our expectations, the rest of the meal was fantastic, and the atmosphere was both elegant and inviting.
For those planning to visit, we recommend coming in spring or summer, when the views are most likely to be clear. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply looking to elevate your Prague dining experience, Oblaca is well worth a visit.
