Square Meal review:

It’s not every day that you get a chance to dine in a fabulous interior from the 16th century! Originally this building - called ‘At the Three Violins’ - housed the studio of a royal court painter but gained worldwide fame as the workshop of the best violin maker in the Czech Republic. Its location on the ‘Kings’ way’ route to Prague Castle - only five minute walk away - adds to the sense of prestige and charm. The cosy interior, decorated with antique furnishings and violins exudes a sense of history with intact period features such as decorative plaster and timberwork given prominance. There is also a small upstairs terrace with a couple of tables which comes into its own in the warmer months. The competent cuisine focuses on hearty, well-prepared traditional Czech dishes. The roast duck is a popular signature dish well worth trying. After a meal a five minute walk down to the Charles Bridge provides a fabulous conclusion to the dining experience.
