Nice ambience, friendly service, but what is it about a restaurant? The food! Unfortunately it didn't taste good at all, I had tagliatelle with scampi - totally over salted and I paid a lot of money for it, it was very annoying, my body is on strike at home with diarrhea! This shouldn't happen after visiting a restaurant!!!!! I didn't complain about the food, but rather indulged myself as much as I could, since we had guests and had invited them to the castle tower that evening.

It was delicious and the view from the tower is great. You just have to ask if you can go up then one of the employees opens the door and the castle dog is super cute. The employees are very nice but waiting an hour just for the starter is just too much

We were here for the first time today and immediately felt at home. The food was fantastic. The atmosphere was cozy and the service was extremely accommodating. We will be back definitely.

You have to buy the entrance ticket for the tower in the city museum (under the tower) (then you will get the key)

Unfortunately currently closed. However, you have a wonderful view from the terrace.

St. Martin Rotunda

The Chapel of St. Martin is the only completely preserved Romanesque building in Vyšehrad and one of the oldest in Prague. In was built around 1100 in the eastern part of the fortified outer ward. Between 1100 and 1300, the Rotrunda was surrounded by a cemetery. The building survived the Hussite Wars and was used as the municipal prison of the Town of the Vyšehrad Hill.

During the Thirty Years’ War, it was used as gunpowder storage, from 1700 to 1750, it was renovated and reconsecrated. In 1784, the chapel was closed passed to the military management which kept using it as a warehouseand a cannon-amunition manufacturing facility. In 1841, it was meant to be demolished to give way to the construction of a new road through Vyšehrad. Eventually, only the original western entrance was walled up and replaced with a new one in the sountren side. The dilapidating Rotunda subsequently served as a shelter for the poor.
