Galerie/Café Ve Věží

Bohemia


Inside the medieval Prague Gate tower, this atmospheric cafe and art gallery spreads across three floors and is served by an ingenious dumbwaiter: write your order on the note pad, ding the bell, and the tray goes down, returning moments later with your order. Choose from a range of freshly ground coffees, exotic teas, local wines, beer and medovina (mead).
