The story of a plate that resembles bubble wrap
A Michelin-starred restaurant in the centre of Prague
The tasting menu presents a seasonal ingredients from select farmers, gatherers and hunters. We place a lot of energy into finding them, and cook to emphasise the individuality of each ingredient.
Our dishes are rooted in traditional cuisine, finding inspiration in the cycles of nature, and the relationships between the ingredients we select. When we prepare game, careful attention is payed to the environment in which the animal lives, what it eats, and how the seasons influence its flavour.
Our sommeliers contemplate and experiment with wine and non-alcoholic food pairings, mixing fruit, vegetables, herbs and nuts into their drinks.
If Rony Plesl's Bubble plates remind you of bubble wrap, you're not wrong. A graduate of the Academy of Arts and Crafts in Prague and winner of several prestigious domestic and international awards, he likes to play. Something which he has in common with some chefs.
"I was intrigued that the plate looks like bubble wrap," confirms chef Oldřich Sahajdák. "What guests get on it, I won't reveal, but it's something different every time," he adds.
On the table and on the ceiling
High-end design has many things in common with haute cuisine: for example, the emphasis on inventiveness and precision at the same time, as well as the sometimes exacting workmanship. The Bubbles plates are made by luminous glassmakers using a glass pressing and shaping technique that makes each product authentic and original - just like the food you get at La Degustation Bohême Bourgeoise.
Rony Plesl also shares respect for Czech tradition with the Michelin star - his designs are brought to reality by local companies such as Bomma and Rückl. And at La Degustation you can admire two atypical, hand-shaped Consommé chandeliers made of glass by Bomma, or hand-cut jars by Rückl.
