Taro

Vietnamese-Japanese cooking that moved from Smíchov to Národní in 2025
Taro started in Smíchov and moved to Národní in January 2025, taking a bigger room and a slightly more ambitious menu with it. The kitchen works between Vietnamese and Japanese registers rather than picking one, which is less of a gimmick than it sounds given how many Czech-Vietnamese cooks trained in both.
Dinner service starts at half five and runs late. The room is dark, the plates are small enough to order in sequence, and the drinks list leans on sake and Japanese whisky alongside a short wine selection.

A very pleasant Vietnamese restaurant with a story to tell, serving excellent food and outstanding drink pairings. There are three pairing options: non-alcoholic, wine, and signature cocktails (which I highly recommend).

Tarot has been our finest culinary experience this year. The kitchen delivers a sensational fusion of Asian and Czech cuisine, keeping the flavors beautifully balanced. Every course is meticulously structured to complement the next, and the accompanying cocktails are outstanding.

An exceptional dining experience from start to finish. The multi-course menu was beautifully executed, and while the portions appeared small, each dish was packed with flavor and surprisingly satisfying. Every course felt carefully balanced, creative, and memorable. The cocktail pairing was excellent as well, complementing the food perfectly and standing on its own as a highlight of the evening. What truly stood out was the service and storytelling. The team did a fantastic job explaining each dish, sharing the inspiration behind it, and creating an engaging experience throughout the meal. Their passion and attention to detail were evident in every interaction. The only area for improvement is some of the practical aspects of service. It wasn’t always clear where to place personal belongings such as a handbag or jacket, and the payment process at the end could be communicated more clearly.

One of the best Top 10 tasting menus we have tried. The Vietnamese tasting menu is inspired with Czech basis but does have the Asian feel. We got the cocktail tasting menu pairing that had very unique liquors such as pork belly fat washed bourbon in an old fashioned. It is a prix fixed five course tasting menu with an amuse bouche, but each course has multiple pieces so you definitely are filled up at the end. The restaurant owners/chefs explain each course and the background behind it as it is served at the open counter/kitchen. The menu is provided at the end so you are kept surprised in anticipation of each course. Service was impeccable and friendly. They have a Michelin bib gourmand and I’m certain they will have a star or two soon. Highly recommend this place, markedly different from local Czech cuisine.
