Nice place with a view, pleasant plate with friendly waiters. They propose a daily catch of the day but they also have meat, pretty tasty but quite expensive for Estonia.

Pasta oli hyvää, mutta ei ruokamyrkytyksen arvoista. For the information of the restaurant it is unnecessary to patronize, if within three days only unfamiliar food has been in their restaurant, the cause is fairly clear. We have an apartment and rarely eat out, and our food was consumed even after the poisoning without causing another one. Thank you for your response, please check your kitchen better than a conversation with chef.

The location was very nice and the food was nice. However the place I would say is kids-unfriendly. At the beginning we had to wait for the menu even if we saw the waitresses standing around, it wasn't very busy. One of the first waitresses that came to our table was very rude. They changed the waitress without asking. The one that finally served us was really nice, so we tipped her. At the end we asked for the desserts menu the other waiter that was passing by, I was feeding the baby at the time, instead of taking the time to explain, he just said: "you can look at the cakes on display inside and there is also ice-cream". Obviously, I could not look at the cakes inside while feeding the baby. Also the toilets have enough space for a changing table, but they don't have one. Oh, and our baby is quite a quiet one.

If you want local fish, this is the place! Eel was excellent! The terrace has amazing view to the castle and service was good. They were willing to change according to our preferences. Also kid's menu was good. Also other dishes than fish were great on the menu.

Super excited about this place! Impressed with the sense of aesthetics. The food was both attractive and delicious. Just a real symphony of tastes with the castle in the background. I enjoyed the interior and all the details. Service was fast and attentive. Highly recommend this restaurant.

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.
