    The take

    The Take

    The Vibe

    Next Door by Imperial pairs a classical architectural frame with clean, modern lines, creating a composed, traditionally rooted atmosphere. The room favors transparency—light materials and an open kitchen—so the culinary process becomes part of the meal rather than something hidden. That clarity of design and the presentation of classical Czech dishes in a contemporary setting yields a composed, classic dining experience with a contemporary pulse. The space reads as intentional and measured rather than ornate; it feels like a modern tribute to Czech culinary tradition rather than a reinvention of it.

    Ordering Tips

    Stick to the classical signatures the kitchen emphasizes: the braised beef with creamy sauce and bread dumplings (Svíčková), duck leg with caramelized cabbage and potato gnocchi, wild boar and a traditional schnitzel are all highlighted. Save room for dessert—plum dumplings with poppyseed ice cream are listed among the signatures—and consider foie gras if it appears on the menu. Because the brigade plates in view, ordering a mix of mains to share lets you sample the kitchen’s strengths and enjoy the visual theatre of plating.
