La Terasa

In Mníšek pod Brdy, in the Esmarin Hotel, you will find a new restaurant called La Terasa. The interior is airy and offers a large terrace with a view of the valley and tennis courts. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and engaged. The wine selection is extensive, and an experienced sommelier is ready to advise you and select the most suitable wine. We recommend the veal tartare – very nicely seasoned, as well as the delicate shrimp with mango salsa and wood cauliflower mushrooms with Parmesan foam and a 63-degree egg, as we were lucky enough to find wood cauliflower mushrooms in the nearby Brdy forests. This luxurious variation on traditional scrambled eggs can only be described in superlatives. The main courses – sea bream fillets with Sardinian fregola and lobster bisque, as well as Australian Wagyu fillet or rabbit saddle in jamón serrano and pea purée – were absolutely flawless. The Chef’s style is to let the main ingredient shine without any overpowering flavors, including the side dishes. The signature dish of the summer menu was Wimbledon strawberries complemented by fresh yuzu gel and meringue. La Terasa offers a very high-quality concept; amuse bouche and more types of non-alcoholic beverages would elevate the experience even further.
