Restaurant Papilio.

Tucked away in Vysoký Újezd, just a short drive from Prague, Restaurant Papilio has quickly established itself as one of the country's premier culinary destinations under chef Jan Knedla. Housed in a historic building with striking vaulted ceilings and an open kitchen, the intimate dining room accommodates only a handful of guests each evening, ensuring an exceptionally focused service. Knedla’s tasting menus reframe traditional Czech recipes through a modern lens, blending French-influenced European techniques with contemporary global inspiration. The courses are presented directly by the kitchen team, pairing beautifully with selections from the prominent glass wine room. It is a highly polished, destination-worthy experience that feels world-class yet deeply rooted in its local terroir.
