Twenty years of coexistence of the "black angel of poetry" Vladimír Holan and the "national clown" Jan Werich in a villa on Kampa.
Villa on Kampa – U Sovových mlýnů 501/7, an apparent island of freedom in the gusts of history. Formerly Dobrovský's, today Werich's villa. From 1945 until his death in 1980, the "national clown and national rabbi" Jan Werich lived here. In 1948, six months after Jiří Voskovec left, the "black angel of poetry" Vladimír Holan moved into the ground floor. Twenty years of cohabitation between Hamlet and Falstaff. Too many words for the living and silence with phantoms. Boisterous parties and the most intimate prayers. Three vertical meters, that was the distance at that time from one pole of Czech culture to the other.

Autumn has juice. And also something crunchy.
Onion soup with cheese croquette, royal oyster mushrooms in unexpected company, and veal crepinette based on a recipe over a century old. The October menu at TADY CHUTNÁ has a weakness for honest sauces, autumn flavors, and contrasts that invite one bite to lead to another. This time, the chef's tips are two: oyster mushrooms and Esterházy crepinette.
