Jirka Zajicek
Head Chef
Creativity, humour and a willingness to experiment are the ingredients without which Jirka would not cook. In his hands, traditional local ingredients are transformed into modern creations that can both surprise and kill you. He looks for inspiration in nature, seasonality and unexpected flavour combinations. Each course of his menu has a story to tell, which he will guide you through from the first bite to the last sip.

Cooking is a game for me. And every game should have its own pace, gradation and moment of surprise.

Honza
Sous Chef
Jirka’s right hand in the kitchen. He makes sure that every detail of the food is perfect and every course is ready on time. More about Honza’s culinary story coming soon.

When you cook, you also think. Sometimes about food, sometimes about the meaning of life…. and sometimes about who’s going to do the dishes.

Lucy
Restaurant manager
He smiles even as he orchestrates the perfect service for a full house of guests.
She is the face that accompanies you through dinner, ensuring that every glass, plate and course arrives exactly as it should.
She sees restaurant management as a combination of precision and emotion.
For her, every evening is like a performance with energy, grace, a smile and attention to detail that guests will remember. At ARTE, she and her team create dinners with soul that tell their shared story.
She believes that true fine dining is about emotion, harmony of service and a sense of specialness that lingers long after the last course.

The experience is born in the details – from the welcome to the last impression. Each welcome is the beginning of a story that guests take away with them.

People behind the scenes
Behind the open kitchen is a team that knows that the experience is created together. Chefs with an eye for detail and waiters who feel the rhythm of the evening and are right where you need them at the right moment. Together, we are a team that sees dinner at ARTE as a small performance and you are the star of the show.
