Looking for a place with excellent food, by the river, not overly expensive, with a pleasant atmosphere? Then walk towards the Smíchov brewery and step into world of culinary admirals and polished brass – even though Czech republic is visibly lacking any sea.

The restaurant at botel Admiral is perfect for a special occasion in Prague. If you want to celebrate or just enjoy your last evening in the city, come here. The city bustle is pleasantly distant – trams from bridges on one side and trains on the other, with views of Prague castle plus Vyšehrad castle and the Gothic Emauzy just behind. Swans, ducks and other water birds messing around in the river below, and the wine in your glass shining with the golden glow of early evening night.

This botel – the pretty large green „ship” nestled on the embankment just across from Palackého náměstí – was the last in a series of three that are anchored in Prague. It was assembled at the spot in 1971. Firstly a three-story steel construction was brought around it to build the botel. Nowadays it would not be able to get under any of the two nearby bridges because of its height.
