A three-course dinner from the famous chef Jaroslav Zahálek
A luxurious three-course dinner served during concert breaks is a one of the key ingredients of the Jazz Dinner in Mánes. The menu prepared by the chef of the Art Restaurant Mánes, Jaroslav Zahálka, is inspired by the Prague cuisine of the 1930s. As an appetizer, we serve pea cream with butter croutons, fava beans, basil créme fraiche, watercress oil and afila sprouts. The main course is Veal fillet fried in butter, fine mashed potatoes and chard, or Zander with smoked velouté, dill, chive oil, beets, salicornia and potatoes, or Steak of roasted cauliflower, wild broccoli, cauliflower puree and hazelnut relish with pecorino. And finally, you can taste Czech classics as a dessert - Ducat buns with vanilla cream. Enjoy your meal!

Only the best Prague jazzmen will perform for you - Doris and Sophia Lámoš (vocals), Antonín Šturma as bass player, Jiří Polydor on piano and Jan Štolba on saxophone.
