Bellevue Restaurant Prague Team, Italian chef of Bellevue Prague recommends

FRANTIŠEK NOVÁK

Restaurant manager

Gastronomy has been part of our family for generations. After completing my studies abroad, I worked in the tourism industry, but always felt the need to return to our profession. In eight years at Bellevue, I have worked in every position, which allowed me to get an understanding of the restaurant operations. Constant progress, looking for and creating new trends, a great team and the support of a large company are the main reasons why I cannot imagine my professional life without Bellevue.

LUKÁŠ MAŠEK

Head Chef

I prefer using fresh ingredients from the garden and including them into the traditional recipes of our grandmothers which are considered to be the best ones. My grandmother was my first teacher anyway. Being still at school I was able to find my first job in the centre of Prague where I could use my knowledge of gastronomy. But five years ago I wanted to move on. Bellevue was a big challenge for me. Getting to know more in our field and discover new trends will always be my passions.

Lukáš Kříž

Sous Chef

It’s a pleasure to work in one of the best restaurants in the country. We’re a great team who try to provide our guests with the best possible dining experience, and I think we succeed.

I worked my way up from side dishes all the way to sous chef. The proverbial “wow” experience starts in the kitchen. Fresh ingredients are a given, but we don’t stop there. We regularly work together with top chefs from around the world and innovate our menu. It’s impossible not to love that.

ZDENĚK ČERNOTÍK

Deputy manager

When I moved to Prague in 2010 I was very lucky to become a part of Libor Pavlíček‘s team at the V Zátiší restaurant. I started to work as a waiter and after five years I came to Bellevue, where after a year I became a Day Manager. I enjoy providing excellent and unforgettable service. I also like working as a part of a great, strong team.

Jiří Albrecht

Sommelier

Jiří Albrecht joined our team in 2014 as Commis de Rang. Today he is one of our most trusted sommeliers. He has always had an open and respectful attitude to gastronomy, which accounts for his love of good food, professional service and great wine. He particularly enjoys combining unusual flavours to create something harmonious. For Jiří, the restaurant means joy and the pleasure of serving others.

DANIEL POKORNÝ

Assistant of the Manager

When I was hired at Zátiší Group five years ago, which was immediately after completing my secondary school studies, I must admit I did not know much then about the world of top gastronomy. I left for a hotel across the river but I soon returned. I came to the Bellevue restaurant as a commis de rang and after eight months I became a shift manager. I enjoy working with people a lot.

Robert Gottfried

Assistant Manager

We would like to introduce you to Robert Gottfried, who started his career at the Zátiší Group more than 9 years ago. After graduating from high school, he moved to Prague where he first worked as a chef at Žofín Garden. Then he decided to try something new, so in 2011 moved over to Bellevue as Commis de Rang. Today he manages the restaurant and is also one of our sommeliers. In addition to good food and wine, he enjoys sports, history and music in his leisure time.
