I enjoyed a delicious dinner at Čestr, a Prague steakhouse that ofers delectable cuts of meat and excellent service.

Best Steakhouse In Prague – Čestr

My brother recommended this place…he claimed it was like a fine steakhouse in LA, but half the price. While Prague has many culinary dishes more unique to Czechia, this was not my only meal in Prague and it’s always a treat to have a nice steak dinner.

The dining room was spacious with an open kitchen and the staff were wearing aprons and white shirts. Having skipped lunch, I had an early dinner at 5:00 pm and found the restaurant deserted on my arrival (but full by the time I left).

As I was examining the menu, freshly-made bread with a delicious olive oil dip with an olive tapenade was offered.

I knew I wanted a beef tenderloin for my main course, and like any proper steakhouse, they brought over a list of today’s cuts, so I could choose the proper size. The cost was 550 crowns per 100 grams (about 24 USD per 100 grams)…not nearly as cheap as my brother had suggested. I chose a 253-gram steak at a cost of 1265 Czech Koruna, so 60 USD.

But first, it was a chilly spring day and I began the meal with parsnip soup…sublime. I also ordered a glass of Malbec.

With my main course, I ordered French Fries. The “bio” (organic) filet mignon was melt-in-your-mouth delicious…no sauces necessary, just salt and pepper.

The feast was not over.

I concluded the meal with a flat white and a scoop of ice cream with habanero and dark chocolate. What a great combo: it had a strong kick to it.

The damage for dinner was 1,900 CZK (including a modest European-appropriate tip…). $90…yeah, not not bad for all I had.
