The world-famous writer Franz Kafka fell in love with the magnificent panorama that unfolds when looking out from the waterfront near Prague’s Charles Bridge. Today, the view can be enjoyed along with the culinary delights offered by Brick’s restaurant – Hergetova Cihelna.
On the banks of the Vltava River, in the heart of the Malá Strana district, there used to be a brickyard run by Franz Anton Leonard Herget around 1780. Today, this space on Cihelná Street has been transformed into a gourmet paradise, with its spacious outdoor terrace and elegant interior with large windows offering guests an iconic view of Charles Bridge. It is the perfect setting for a romantic dinner, a get-together with friends, as well as business meetings and corporate events.
Culinary Arts
Brick’s restaurant builds its success on more than its exceptional location. Its cuisine is a manifesto of precision and a modern approach to flavour. The menu alternates between fresh ideas and genuine classics. The gastronomic experience can begin with tiger prawns in lemon butter or fresh oysters. One of the restaurant’s main attractions is Brick’s Surf & Turf speciality, which combines lobster with filet mignon and garlic butter. The juicy Bluefin tuna carpaccio or traditional Czech duck with red cabbage and lokše (potato pancakes) are also well worth trying.
