Quite simply the best seafood restaurant in Prague, Zdenek’s Oyster Bar has earned its reputation as one of the city’s premier destinations, thanks to its world-class selection of fine champagne and wines paired impeccably with the freshest seafood including an inspiring array of oceanic treasures, such as oysters, shrimp, scallops, crabs, bulots, razor clams, langoustines and lobsters, all expertly crafted by Chef Jiri Nosek. An essential culinary destination for seafood enthusiasts, and celebrating the flavours of the ocean with every dish, we arrived for dinner on our second evening in Prague, and began with a few glasses of champagne before indulging in their spectacular Deluxe Seafood Platter.
