Alma

Should You Book Alma?

Alma serves Modern Czech cooking at V Jirchářích 150/8 in Prague.

Reservations are recommended.

What Alma Does in the Kitchen

Head chef Petr Židek combines Czech dishes with contemporary techniques, seasonal ingredients and fermentation, with an emphasis on minimizing waste. Lunch and dinner menus offer individually priced dishes for à la carte ordering.

Dishes include Arctic char with buttermilk and yuzu kosho, langoš with tomato ketchup, garlic emulsion and Kromte cheese, and tripe with nduja and fennel.

The setting adds a layer of context worth knowing before you arrive. Alma takes its name from the former interwar cinema that occupied the site. The modern interior has an open kitchen and bar, with a relaxed atmosphere.

Head sommelier Dragan Bogdanović oversees the wine list. The wine program includes local and international growers who avoid unnecessary chemicals in vineyards and cellars.

Practical Details

Who Should Book Alma

The complex also includes a café and a courtyard wine bar. The connected cocktail bar serves alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails. If you are a returning visitor who has already worked through the obvious addresses, the natural wine list alone justifies a revisit.

Private dining is available. For groups of four or more, confirm seating arrangements when you book.
