Café Imperial
Prague, Czech Republic · Historic Czech Restaurant
The story
Café Imperial has welcomed Prague diners since 1914. Its extraordinary dining room is wrapped in original ceramic reliefs and crowned by a mosaic ceiling, creating one of the city’s most complete historic restaurant interiors. The kitchen serves Czech classics throughout the day.
Why Café Imperial is iconic
A genuine full-service restaurant whose architecture is the attraction: dazzling tilework, period lighting and a century of Prague dining culture remain inseparable.
