Hergetova Cihelna

Beautiful patio area that overlooks the Charles bridge… probably the best view.
The food was delicious and very American.
Garlic bread knots… heaven! So good! Man, I dreamt of these after
Appetizer sampler was fantastic. Seafood, chicken, salad, etc all was really well done
Risotto was perfectly cooked… not too al dente and not too mushy. The flavor was amazing
Burger was perfectly cooked and seasoned
Service was good… slightly slow but I think that’s just Europe!

I made reservations at this place for my last dinner in Prague before heading back. Got a table outside with a great view of Charles bridge! The service was great and while I liked the soup (ordered the pumpkin coconut soup), thought the filet mignon was ok, nothing spectacular. Had the crème brûlée for dessert, which was good! Overall a great place to enjoy a nice meal with attentive service with an awesome view of the bridge!

I’d give this place 5 stars for the food unadjusted for price, 4 stars for the food adjusted for price, and 5 stars again for the view. The view of the river and Charles bridge is just unbeatable.
The food didn’t disappoint, and while it was very expensive by Prague standards, the whole splurge of the meal for two with tax, tip, wine, two deserts, an appetizer and the like was about 3100 Kč, which is under $ 130. Really, not bad.
We go the pumpkin ravioli, which were were good, but not distinguishably pumpkin and more lightly cooked round noodles in olive oil with pine nuts. The salmon was surprisingly good for a landlocked country, but not «crispy» save for the skin. Still, it was probably my favorite dish of the night. The Iberian pizza was very good – a lot because of the truffle oil, but still a deeply satisfying pizza. The chicken schnitzel was fantastic and ridiculously well-​plated for kids food. Our 10-​moth-​old loved it. The pumpkin soup was much closer to a Thai tom yum gai with pumpkin seeds – which isn’t a bad thing, but was just a bit surprising based on the menu description. The addition of chicken and noodles was a bit odd though.
The wine list had a bunch of Czech wine, but the waiter couldn’t give me a good enough description to feel comfortable ordering a bottle. I wound up getting an Italian Montepulciano d’Abruzzo, which was quite tasty if not the best bottle of red ever.
Both deserts – the crème brûlée and the chocolate fondant were great. The fondant was really more of a fantastic lava cake than any fondant that I would have recognized though.

We didn’t know this restaurant at all and stopped by for lunch on ⁷⁄₆ (Mon). They have great foods, services and view then I reserved for the same day dinner immediately. We could enjoy both day and night views of Charles Bridge and had great memories at Prague.

The restaurant itself worth at least 4.5 star, for its delicious food and location. The other half star is for their services. It located in «small town» just off the Charles bridge, you want to have dinner there after 19:00 for the beautiful sunset projects on the bridge and other buildings, until 21:30. We ordered their salmon, burger, and chicken wok. The burger is recommended, it fills with a juicy, nice cooked beef fillet. At last, book a table at least one day in advanced! Enjoy!

The setting is epic. Right on the river and adjacent to the iconic Charles Bridge and tower. Beautiful day or night. Settings don’t get much more romantic than this.
Service was attentive and the food quality as well as the preparation was excellent. Only low point is that the menu is uninspired and that the Czech still don’t know how to make red wine.
but let me get over myself and just say go there and enjoy the setting, the moment and know that it is a meal you will not easily forget.

Modernes und toll eingerichtetes Restaurant mit super Blick auf die Karlsbrücke. 1 Stern Abzug gibt es wegen den doch sehr moderaten Preisen.
Ansonsten waren die Kellner sehr freundlich und aufmerksam und das Essen war sehr kreativ zubereitet. Wir hatten als Vorspeise Garnelen in Curry-​Ingwer-​Soße (weniger Ingwer) und eine Kürbis-​Kokos-​Suppe und als Hauptspeise ein wahnsinnig leckeres Filet Mignon und Kürbis-​Ravioli an Zuccinistreifen. Die Desserts sind absolut empfehlenswert. Wir hatten ein Schokoladen-​Brownie und eine Crème Brulée. Das ganze hat uns 110 € gekostet.
Das Ambiente und die Musik sind ansprechend, man kann sich sehr gut bei einem Candle Light Dinner unterhalten.
Ich würde das Restaurant jedem weiterempfehlen.

Went for dinner tonight with a reservation for a seat with a view, and we were not sat near the window, which didn’t really matter I guess because it was dark out. But I feel like it would be a better spot for lunch because the view of the Charles Bridge would be quite stunning. Now onto the food, which is the real reason we came here!
Buffalo mozzarella salad was perfection. Chicken Marsala was delicious, my BF’s filet was cooked beautifully, and the service was impeccable. We really enjoyed the food! Def a good spot!

After some praise on here my girlfriend and I decided to give it a try. When we arrived I ordered a Pilsner to start with. One taste and I could tell something was funny. As a beer aficionado beer and quality are very important to me. I recognized the taste. The lines from the taps have not been properly maintained. Strike one.
We ordered our appetizers and I tried to ignore the beer thing. Our appetizers arrive and I order another beer, a different one, one on bottle. I’m asked if I needed a new glass. My mouth dropped. What kind of shotty place was this? I respond with a yes and turn my attention to the Beef Carpaccio I ordered. It was bland, no seasoning or garnish really. My girlfriend’s looked better prepared. My beer arrived midway though my appetizer and without a without a glass. I ask for a glass and a few minutes later I am given a glass that can best be described as one of those little glasses you get in line at a hotel buffet, designed to hold the bear minimum amount of liquid. A hard strike two.
When our main course arrives my girlfriend and I are sorely disappointed. I asked for a medium on my Filet Mignon, I received a rare, served with a side of frozen vegetables. My girlfriend asked for the octopus, what she received was a poorly cleaned octopus swimming in the most amount of sauce you could pour on a plate without it dripping to the floor. She also said it was chewy and a bit over cooked. There is no excuse for not being able to prepare two dishes properly. An astonishing strike three.
I read the reviews and I don’t know if they are simply not up to par on the off season or if they were having a bad night. I don’t care really. I conclude by saying I will not return to Hergetova Cihelna, and I honesty can’t recommend it to anyone.

Sehr schöné Lage und eine super Sicht auf die Karlsbrücke. Das preisniveau ist dadurch gehoben aber noch in Ordnung. Was allerdings nicht geht ist die Bedienung, total langsam und dermaßen unhöflich… Unglaublich. Das wir was bestellen haben würde fast als unverschämt gewertet.

This spot is really difficult to rate because of the impeccable service and incredible view of the river you have throughout your meal. My family and I stayed here for hours enjoying the beauty of Prague while sipping on their wonderful wine and beer selection. The four stars are solely earned based on the ambience and service.
However, stars always have to be subtracted when the food does truly nothing for my taste buds. I had a burger here, a very unsatisfyingly bland burger. The appetizers were not memorable either, which leaves me wondering why this beautiful place cannot make perfect food to match the perfect everything else that they offer here.
I would still come back for drinks and the view any day, but I’ll save my appetite for somewhere more flavorful and exciting.

A great, stylish restaurant with amazing views of the river, top-​level service and delicious meals. Their wine list is also exquisite and even though I do not like burgers in general, in this restaurant even burgers turn into a fine-​dining meal. What is great about Hergetova Cihelna is the fact that it is popular also among locals, which proves that the place is definitely worth a visit.

Classy wine list.
Romantic riverside setting.
Waited on hand and foot like a queen.
Ma, I made it! and I don’t even have a Black VISA card … because in Prague, CA$$$H is king.

Yes I am a fan. No I don’t think this place deserves my 5 star rating and il explain why. For starters the view is absolutely stunning and service here is impeccable. These are the best qualities this place has. Although being in a tourist area, it was nice to see locals and tourists alike dining here side by side, gave this place a bit less of a snotty vibe. I will say this place was rather expensive for anything on the menu and the three courses I tasted were alright but nothing to write home about. For starters I had the pita with three dipping sauces, all of which were bland and not up to par. I then had their royal burger which was okay but again nothing amazing and finished with their lime cheesecake which again was alright but certainly not worth the calories. Sadly the best ‘food’ I had at this place was the free grilled bread in oil they have us al the table. Ouch for a supposed 5 star restaurant. I did consider going easy on the since Petr and his staff took excellent care of us and our boy on his birthday, but they deserve to know the truth about their food. It’s average.

This place is wonderful! The view is splendid and the food is to die for. I had the fillet mignon and the argulu and spinach salad. They were both amazing. I also got me a free dessert for checking in here with Unilocal and I chose the baked pineapple. I have never tasted something like that before, so delicious and rich in taste yet nothing fatty. The order came in late so the manager himself apologized to me and my husband and offered him free coffee and free dessert out of courtesy. You have to come here if you’re at Prague.

We had a great experience at Hergetova Cihelna during our recent visit to Prague. I wasn’t sure how to make a reservation so I emailed them and received a response promptly. I asked for either a table outside if weather permits or a window seat if inside. The email response was friendly and confirmed my request.
It must have been because of the timing (not high tourist season) and the weather (kinda gloomy), because when we arrived on a Monday afternoon at 5 PM, the restaurant was empty. However, the hostess greeted us and sat us at a nice table by the window (outside seating was closed).
The restaurant is beautiful and the service was excellent. My husband and I shared the beef tartar appey and it was HUGE and delicious. I had the octopus risotto and he ordered the Burger Royal. I enjoyed my dish OK and everyone had fun making fun of me and my sister (she ordered the same dish) because of the black ink in the risotto turning our mouth/​teeth black. Hubby liked the burger (tho he said it was a bit small) and loved the flavor of the patty.
So overall, it was a pretty good experience. I guess the price is considered higher (comparing to other Prague restaurants), but it’s worth it in my opinion, because of the view and the service. The food didn’t «wow» us, but they were definitely tasty. I’d recommend this restaurant for a nice atmosphere and great service, though slightly on the splurge side if you visit Prague.

The food, service, and view were amazing. What else is there? You have to see. the two peeing and rotating statues first, hysterical.
We had a nice. table for two outside right along the wall with an incomparable view of Charles Bridge and Prague. I don’t even remember what I had, though it was great, by my wife still talks about her octopus with black risotto, and she is no big foodie. It was really awesome!
Highly recommended, then just walk along the water to your hotel.

Five-​star-​plus! The food here was amazing.

Beitrag betrifft die River Lounge des Komplexes.
Wirklich ganz toller Ausblick auf die Karlsbrücke mit bequemen Stühlen. Der Cappucino ist etwas teurer (65 Kronen) ist aber aufgrund der Umgebung ok.
Gleich nebenan ist das Kafka Museum.
