Allegro Review

Compared to other celebrity chefs, Andrea Accordi keeps out of the spotlight, yet he's the most celebrated and well-known chef in the city. And his reputation is well deserved; Accordi's cooking at the Four Seasons is some of the best—the most thoughtful and delicate—of any in Prague. Even fish, the bane of many a Czech restaurant kitchen, arrives here as sea bass with lemon, sea snails, and calamari salad—all intricate flavors. It pairs nicely with the Four Seasons own vibe, that of unquestioning luxury. Servers move seamlessly, the courses are expertly timed, and the sommelier eagerly suggests his recommendations. Despite the high prices and reverent treatment of the ingredients, the light, airy dining room is quite welcoming. And in a nod to the economy, concessions have been made: there's a kids' menu, and Accordi has also rolled out a lower-priced set of dishes, more rustically prepared, that were inspired by a recent visit from his grandmother.
