River's smokelab

On the left bank of the Vltava River, on the edge of Smíchov, you will find the River’s Smokelab restaurant on the ground floor of an apartment building. The interior is cozy and rustic, complemented by modern elements of Nordic style and wood. The staff is friendly, converses casually, and knows the menu well. The restaurant focuses on dishes that are subtly smoked and a little more intense in flavor. The dishes are boldly composed of multiple components that go well together. We recommend the smoked catfish, which is dominated by the harmony of the flavor of gently smoked fish with a sour kefir sauce, complemented by dill oil. The Belgian-style smoked beef tartare was complemented by smoked cracklings and was also a delight. The octopus in pimento sauce was very well seasoned and pleasantly tender. The venison loin with Jerusalem artichoke purée and a slice of smoked wild pear gave the whole hearty dish a fresh twist. The chocolate velvet dessert was a delicate cream, similar in taste to chocolate cream cheese dessert, complemented by fresh passion fruit jelly and coconut foam.
