I understand that there is a category of people who admire such interiors and feel at ease, getting into such museums-restaurants, but, in my opinion, there is very little Czech here, and in fact you go to another country just for the national flavor.
With all that said, Imperial is one of the best restaurants in Prague, recommendations for which can be found in most travel guides in Russian. And not only in Russian, so it is always crowded here, and during rush hours you will have to stand in line.
The network writes that Imperial is an old, very old establishment with a century of history and an impressive list of celebrities who have visited the restaurant at different times. Although personally, in my experience, the institution is overpriced. Prices are above average, the quality of the dishes is normal, the interior has long been refreshed, and the service fee is included in the check in addition to the order amount.
The super duper famous chef of Imperial hosts some cool programs on local TV, owns two more restaurants belonging to the Imperial chain and positions the restaurant's cuisine as «traditional Czech, in the author's presentation». The author's presentation sounds bright, but it tastes a little unusual.
Well, to complete the picture of the scale of the Imperial universe, I must add that in addition to the public territory, the restaurant has three more private rooms, a separate room with a bar and its own hotel on the upper floors..
