Whether you’re social or anti-social, you are probably staying at home. But you can still eat well and in style, right? At least now you can, with our Easting Alone Together series of dinners and special events.

What is “Eating Alone Together”?

Oh, so glad you asked. It’s easy:

We miss the restaurant experience: sharing a nice moment with someone you love, over some great food, in a restaurant you both love.
Food is more than just take-away pizza that you eat in sweatpants while binge-watching The Tiger King. (Guilty as charged here!) It’s easy to forget that after a month in containment.
Prague restaurants are excellent, serve fantastic food, and can stand up to the challenges posed by the quarantine rules.
Local producers are people too, and they need your support now more than ever.

The sixth episode of our Eating Alone Together series takes us a bit East. About time! When we cannot travel physically, we can at least travel through the food.

Eating alone together, pt VIII: El Camino Tapas Restaurant

This time food will be served by the amazing El Camino Tapas Restaurant. Yeah, we know, it only opened in December, but the pedigree is there: Mr David Böhm lead the iconic Medité restaurant in Mariensbad. And he worked in a few Michelin stars in Spain. ‘Nuff said.

Let’s be honest here: normally, it would make no sense to recommend a Spanish tapas bar with a focus on seafood in Prague. But guess what: El Camino earns our full and unconditional recommendation. It’s amazing regardless of the location. It would be amazing even if it was located in Spain. And we’re super excited to have them on board with our Eating Alone Together series.

And just in time: This is May 1, people! You want to be the boyfriend and/or husband you know you are, deep down inside, under that beer belly? This is your chance.

But how good is El Camino? Let us tell you: Zuzi rarely leaves a new restaurant impressed. She did leave El Camino impressed blown away. We have a habit of visiting La Degustation, one of Prague’s two Michelin stars (btw, will they roll out their European guides this year? Isn’t it about time?), for her birthday, but midway through our meal, she said “Hey Jan, for my birthday, could we actually come back here this year?” Yeah, that's how good this place is. The food, the service and the ambiance? All spot on.

the social perks: El Camino’s playlist for the dinner, our own playlist for the dinner, an invitation to a Skype-based video chat for a cheers and a thank you, instructional videos on the meal’s completion, and whatever we come up with in the meantime.

Optional perks

You can pair your dinner with our favorite Czech pinot noir at the moment, the 2018 Novosady by Mr Kocarik, our favorite Moravian natural winemaker. We have it at an out-of-the-cellar price, about CZK 100 lower than anywhere else. Please support the best Moravian winemakers!

I suggest you buy two bottles. Drink one on May 1 with the dinner. Drink the second one on May 1, 2025. You can thank us two times! Honestly, this is a slap in the face of anyone who says Czech reds aren’t good.

As a side note: We don’t think anybody’s making any major money on this. It’s just a few businesses who want to make our quarantine a bit better.
