Restaurace Červený jelen

October 23, 2025

This was the best discovery this trip. Bustling dining room and very friendly waiting staff. We ordered the appetiser platter because the table next to us had it and it looked really good. We were not disappointed. I had the venison loin, which was really outstanding. Never had such succulent venison before. This is definitely worth a return visit next time I'm here.

Restaurace Červený Jelen is a gorgeous place to dine while in Prague - definitely a little more upmarket, so I’d recommend booking ahead, but it’s absolutely worth it for a special night out. We enjoyed starters, mains, and desserts, and everything was faultless. The dark beer chocolate cake was a real highlight - rich, indulgent, and beautifully presented. It is on the pricier side, but the quality, atmosphere, and service make it worth every penny. They also have a great drinks selection, including their own Pilsner Urquell and a lovely range of wines. If you’re looking to treat yourselves while in Prague, this spot is a must-visit!

We’ve eaten a lot of beef brisket in our time and this was definitely the best we’ve ever had. The tenderness & juiciness was unbelievable, with such rich flavor. The Czech deer loin & sides were all excellent too and everything paired really well with Pilsner Urquell. We had Vetrnik for dessert which was delicious. The service was great, Pavel provided strong recommendations, and the prices were fair. I’d absolutely recommend having dinner here! Highlights: beef brisket, Vetrnik Date visited: 9/25/25

I spent thousands and thousands of Australian Dollararydoos coming to Europe. I wasn't going to muck around and not go to a very nice steak restaurant. Cerveny Jelen is in an old bank vault. They have vaulted ceilings, multiple floors and a bank vault door in the basement. It's hectic. Unfortunately I wasn't able to see all that until I used the loo because I went by myself. The advantages of going somewhere alone are understated. Yes I'll have more beer thanks. Yes I'll have heaps of steak thanks. Yes I'll talk to myself, cheers. I had cured meats to start, they were salty and delicious. It's hard to have authentic food from the place you're on holiday at. Sometimes I think it may be better to have one, killer, dynamite meal that is really authentic and then maccas the rest of the time. I was served by Pavel, and I'm gonna call him out specifically for being very questioning of my ability to eat a "Czechia" board intended for 3-4 people by myself. His European derision turned first to visible alarm and then (I'm almost certain) quiet respect as I finished the whole thing by myself. The meat was tender, cooked to perfection and delicious. The sauces were incredible as were the beers which flowed faster than I could keep up with (while I filled my belly full of steak). I would recommend this restaurant to almost everyone, eeeexcept my wife, who doesnt eat meat and who didn't come with me to dinner. God forbid she ever find out how much I spent cause this place is nice but yeah it isn't the $2 menu.

This is a great place for group gatherings! The outdoor seating in the courtyard has a great vibe and it’s perfect for a long evening with friends or colleagues. I’m pregnant so I’m unable to drink alcohol, so I really appreciate a good non-alcoholic option that still feels special, and the lemonades were fantastic. Don’t skip dessert!
