Villa Richter, Prague
After exploring the grounds of Prague Castle, Villa Richter offers a welcome retreat with one of the best views in the city. Tucked among the terraced vineyards just below the Black Tower, the villa feels worlds away from the crowds, yet remains within a stone鈥檚 throw of the castle walls. It鈥檚 a perfect place to pause, recharge, and take in sweeping views of Prague鈥檚 rooftops, bridges, and spires.
The villa is home to three distinct dining experiences, each with its own personality. At the top sits Piano Nobile, known for refined dishes featuring duck, beef, and fresh seafood鈥攊deal for a lingering lunch with flair. Below that is Piano Terra, where the focus shifts to comforting Bohemian classics served with an elegant twist. Further in, you鈥檒l find the Wine Tresor, a more intimate space dedicated to showcasing the best of Czech winemaking, all with that stunning backdrop still in view.
Now, let鈥檚 be honest鈥攔estaurants perched along major tourist routes often promise more than they deliver. The views may be stellar, but the food and service鈥攏ot always up to par. Villa Richter is a refreshing exception. While it leans upscale, the experience delivers across the board: the cuisine is thoughtfully prepared, the service warm and attentive, and the setting nothing short of magical.
A standout feature here is the opportunity to enjoy wines produced right in the surrounding Saint Wenceslas vineyards鈥攕ome of the oldest in Bohemia. Sipping a crisp local white on the terrace or settling in for a full-course meal indoors adds a poetic sense of place to the experience. The combination of refined flavors, historic atmosphere, and attentive service creates a setting that feels both indulgent and genuinely rooted in Prague鈥檚 heritage.
