Pravda Restaurant

The Pravda Group was one of the first fine&casual dining restaurant chains after the Velvet Revolution of 1989 to begin operations in Prague when it won the tender to provide restaurant and catering services in Obecní Dům, Prague's famous Art Nouveau Municipal House, in 1992. With the French restaurant on the ground floor seating 500, the Plzeňská Restaurant, a typical Czech 'beer hall' in the basement, seating 300 and an in-house catering contract that could require the kitchen to provide for up to 2000 people, this first project was an extreme case of 'jumping in at the deep end', but, with only a few weeks of preparation, the dilapidated French restaurant opened with a flourish having been completely transformed into Prague's prime Brasserie, and together with the Plzeňská Restaurant, which opened shortly afterwards, the restaurants of Obecní Dům soon became famous throughout the Czech Republic.
