LICHFIELD €€
11am-11pm; ; 12, 20, 22)
Named after society photographer Lord Lichfield, whose
images of celebrities adorn the walls, this stylish yet relaxed restaurant is worth seek-
ing (it's hidden away in the Augustine Hotel). The menu ranges from down-to-earth
but delicious dishes such as ox cheeks braised in the restaurant's own St Thomas beer,
to top-end favourites such as grilled lobster, fresh oysters and caviar.

CUKRKÁVALIMONÁDA €
9am-7pm; 12, 20, 22)
A cute little cafe-cum-restaurant that combines minimalist
modern styling with Renaissance-era painted timber roof-beams, CKL offers fresh,
homemade pastas, frittatas, ciabattas, salads and pancakes (sweet and savoury) by day
and a slightly more sophisticated bistro menu in the early evening. There's also a
good breakfast menu offering ham and eggs, croissants, and yoghurt, and the hot
chocolate is to die for.
Since you ask, the name means 'sugar, coffee, lemonade' - the phrase is the Czech
equivalent of 'eeny-meeny-miny-moe'.
