Restaurant in Prague, Czech Republic
Vineyard setting, Michelin-recognised food, book early.
Salabka is a Michelin Plate (2024) vineyard restaurant in Troja, Praha 7, worth booking for its historic estate setting and technically precise modern cuisine. The summer terrace overlooking centuries-old vines fills quickly — reserve early and specify your preferred seat. At €€€€, it's the most distinctive fine-dining option on the northern edge of Prague.
If you're planning a meal at Salabka between June and September, secure your reservation before you confirm anything else about your trip. The terrace tables overlooking the vineyard are among the most coveted outdoor dining spots in Prague, and they fill well ahead of the season. Come winter, the first-floor gallery under the open gable roof is the seat to request — window-side, with vines in view even when the terrace is closed. There is no bad seat here, but the leading ones disappear early.
Salabka sits in Troja, a northern district of Prague that most visitors skip entirely in favour of the Old Town circuit. That is precisely what makes this restaurant worth understanding on its own terms. The vineyard it occupies has a wine-growing history stretching back to the 13th century, making Salabka one of the few fine-dining addresses in the Czech Republic where the setting is genuinely inseparable from the experience. For Troja, this is the anchor restaurant , the place that gives the neighbourhood a reason to appear on a serious diner's itinerary at all. If you've eaten at Kampa Park or V Zátiší on previous visits, Salabka represents a different register: further from the tourist centre, quieter, and framed by something that most Prague restaurants cannot offer , actual land.
The physical environment here does real work. Exposed old wooden beams and quarry stone walls provide the structural character, but the interior avoids the trap of rustic pastiche. Sleek modern furnishings sit alongside the historic fabric without apology, and the result is a room that feels composed rather than decorated. The first floor is a gallery built under the open gable roof , an architectural solution that creates an intimate upper level with window tables looking directly onto the vines. In summer, the terrace extends the experience outside. In any season, the spatial logic of the building is one of the strongest arguments for visiting. This is not a restaurant that happens to be in a vineyard; the vineyard is the point.
For a return visitor who has already seen the room at lunch, an evening booking gives a different quality of light through those first-floor windows , worth noting if you're deciding between meal periods.
Salabka holds a Michelin Plate (2024), which signals food prepared to a consistent technical standard without reaching starred territory. In practical terms, that positions the kitchen as serious without the formality or price ceiling of a full Michelin-starred experience. The dishes are described by Michelin as meticulously prepared with great technical precision and visually considered, with produce sourced from trusted farmers. That last detail matters: farm-sourced ingredients in a vineyard setting is a coherent editorial stance, not a marketing claim. Expect modern cuisine that reflects the season and the estate rather than a menu chasing international trends. Specific dishes are not confirmed from available data, so treat the kitchen's direction as produce-driven modern cooking and plan accordingly.
The wine programme is an obvious strength given the setting. Booking a wine tasting or a tour of the estate is explicitly recommended , and for a return visitor, this is the natural next layer after a direct dinner visit. The estate's wine-growing tradition adds credibility to any pairing the sommelier suggests.
Salabka is the right call for a special occasion dinner where setting carries as much weight as the plate. It also works well for a long, relaxed lunch in summer when the terrace is open. It is less suited to a quick weeknight dinner or a large group looking for a buzzy central location. The six apartments on the estate make it a plausible option for an overnight stay, which converts the trip from a dinner-only excursion into something more considered , particularly if you're combining it with a wine tour the following morning.
For diners who have previously visited Benjamin or Grand Cru in Prague, Salabka offers a format that neither of those can replicate: estate dining at a price point (€€€€) that is comparable but with a physical context that justifies the spend differently. It competes with La Degustation Bohême Bourgeoise on price tier but not on format , La Degustation is a tasting-menu destination in the city centre; Salabka is a vineyard restaurant that requires a deliberate journey and rewards it.
Troja is not walkable from central Prague. Plan for a taxi or rideshare from the Old Town (roughly 15 to 20 minutes depending on traffic) or use public transport with a short walk. The detour is part of the proposition , this is not a restaurant you fall into; you choose it. Booking is rated Easy, which means you are not competing with a six-week waitlist, but terrace seats in summer require more lead time than an indoor table in March. Reserve the specific seat type you want when you book, not as an afterthought. Hours and phone contact are not confirmed in available data, so check the estate directly for current service times and reservation process.
Google reviews sit at 4.6 across 366 ratings , a reliable signal of consistent quality rather than a single exceptional visit. The Michelin Plate recognition (2024) confirms the kitchen's technical baseline. For further context on where Salabka sits within the broader Czech dining scene, see also Na Spilce in Pilsen, Cattaleya in Čeladná, and Chapelle in Písek for regional comparisons. Internationally, the produce-driven modern cuisine format places Salabka in similar territory to Maison Lameloise in Chagny, though at a different scale and price ceiling.

| Salabka | Modern Cuisine | On the outskirts of the city, this restaurant is located in a vineyard with a wine-growing tradition dating back to the 13C. A combination of exposed old wooden beams, quarry stone walls and sleek modern furnishings creates an atmospheric setting. The view of the vines is best enjoyed from the tables at the windows on the first floor, which is actually a gallery constructed under the open gable roof. In summer, tables on the terrace are coveted. Meticulously prepared with great technical precision, the dishes are visually stunning and often feature produce from trusted farmers. Tip: Book a wine tasting or tour of the estate. For overnight stays there are six cosy, tastefully furnished apartments.; Michelin Plate (2024) | Easy | — |

Comparing your options in Prague for this tier.
Yes, and it's one of the stronger calls in Prague for a celebration where setting matters as much as food. The vineyard location, exposed stone walls, and gallery-level window tables create an atmosphere most central Prague restaurants can't replicate. At €€€€ pricing with a Michelin Plate (2024), the food meets the occasion without overreaching into starred-level formality.
The venue database doesn't confirm a bar-seating option. Salabka's layout centres on the main dining room with its gallery under the open gable roof and the terrace in summer. If informal counter dining is your priority, Field Restaurant in central Prague is a better-documented fit.
Getting there takes planning: Troja is not walkable from central Prague and requires a taxi, rideshare, or public transit connection. Budget an extra 20 minutes each way. Once there, request a first-floor window table for the vineyard view, and book the estate wine tour or tasting as an add-on — it's explicitly recommended by the Michelin guide notes for this venue.
The interior mixes quarry stone walls and wooden beams with sleek modern furnishings, which signals a polished but not stiff environment. Dress neatly — think smart casual with some intention — but the vineyard setting outside Prague's centre keeps it from feeling like a black-tie affair. Overly casual will look out of place at €€€€ price points.
The Michelin Plate (2024) recognition confirms food prepared to a consistent technical standard, and the menu's produce-led approach from trusted farmers gives the format coherence. At €€€€ pricing, a tasting menu makes sense if you're combining it with the vineyard setting and an estate wine pairing — treating it as a standalone meal without engaging the full experience would underuse what Salabka offers.
At €€€€, Salabka prices are at the top end of Prague's dining market, but the combination of a 13th-century vineyard estate, technically precise Michelin Plate cooking, and a setting that includes terrace and gallery dining justifies the spend for the right occasion. If you want comparable food quality without the destination setting, La Degustation Bohême Bourgeoise delivers a more formal tasting menu experience at a similar price tier.
La Degustation Bohême Bourgeoise is the benchmark for formal tasting menus in Prague and closer to the city centre. Field Restaurant offers produce-driven modern cooking in a more accessible Old Town location. Na Kopci is the comparison to reach for if you want a relaxed, neighbourhood-feel restaurant with serious food at lower prices. Alcron suits business diners who need central location over atmosphere.
