THE HOLY FOUR OF SMÍCHOV

- A PLACE YOU WON‘T WANT TO LEAVE

When I visit any new city, I have to face the same challenge - if I want to perfectly enjoy the whole day, I have to intricately search for different places and then find the way how to get there. But if you take my tip and head to Smíchov, you can forget this complication.

My story will almost start as a joke. What do an old Czech beer hall, a modern restaurant, a beautiful garden with seating in the courtyard and a stylish bar in the basement have in common? Despite their differences, they all form a perfect harmonious whole, with all parts complementing each other perfectly. This quartet of places is located a short walk from the Anděl metro station in Prague‘s Smichov district in the same building. We started our journey with friends in the old Czech beer hall U Bílého Lva to enjoy not only the best Czech tank beer (Staropramen), but also the classic Czech cuisine. This unique place, where the visitor can enjoy the atmosphere of the old Prague, has been here since 1889! Moreover, on Fridays, the space will be enlivened by big beat bands, so the great experiences are guaranteed. But since the nearby passageway attracts people to visit the White Lion’s little brother, the Fortel Restaurant, our curiosity made us to move there during the evening. And we couldn‘t believe our eyes.

Although the restaurants are adjacent, the atmosphere at Fortel couldn‘t be more different. The first thing that attracts your attention upon arrival is a pair of massive metal stairs. One is blue, the other red, and each leads to a different part of the restaurant. The unusually cascading space was, as the attendant explained to me, once a cinema, which explains the atypically high ceiling and the giant niche on one of the walls that makes one think of a movie screen. The space is open but has a complex structure. It has several levels, giving each seating position a unique perspective. And then the details! Someone has really unleashed his/her invetiveness - the bar is adorned with a digital panel reading the name Fortel like in the Tetris game, only to be eaten by a Pac Man. Ceilings are decorated with beer barrels with light bulbs in them. There‘s a Scandinavian seating area with a fireplace in one section, and a more romantic seating area in another. A friend once told me that it‘s the toilets that say the most about the quality of a place. Here, Fortel scores, too. The walls of the toilets are adorned with seemingly broken tiles, with a cement substrate layer underneath. It‘s perhaps the most original design element I‘ve ever seen.

Meanwhile U Bílého Lva focuses on more classic „big“ Czech food, tapas are the name of the game at Fortel, with the cuisine being Czech and Mediterranean with a fusion of Asian. Of course, they also have a more classic menu, but they mainly aim at gathering of several people sharing a variety of goodies together. And because the gastronomy here is top-notch, every course is worth it.

In between the two restaurants, there is the Smíchovská zahrada, located in the courtyard of the house. A stunning piece of green island in the middle of the urban development, where you can take a break from the closed rooms and enjoy a bit of that romance. Here they prepare meals on a grill, but if you get a craving for something different, you can choose it from the U Bílého Lva menu. Smíchovská zahrada really took my breath away. Prague in general has no shortage of green spaces, but for someone to go to such lengths in an enclosed space between houses is something you just don‘t see.

Since the day is far from being over with a visit to a restaurant, this unique Smíchov space has one more trump card up its sleeve. It is a basement cocktail bar called Back Doors. Here, the atmosphere changes a bit again. Dark interior, long bar, beverages are mixed by experienced bartenders, drinks to taste, a stage dedicated to unique performers. In short, the perfect stylish space to end the day in style, where you can enjoy a unique drink with friends. If anyone gets hungry, he/ she can have tapas brought in from Fortel

Fortel is decorated with a giant illuminated sign on the ceiling that reads „Smíchov always sticks together“. And the same goes for all the aforementioned establishments. Each is different and together they form a unique whole. The are not so many in the world.

A few advices at the end. Be sure to book your seat, the establishments are not inflatable. Fridays at Fortel are enlivened by the live saxophone and DJs. And it‘s worth popping in for the lunch menus too, the menu is varied and the prices very reasonable.
