Shared Tasting Menu
At Portfolio, we believe that an exceptional gastronomic experience is not created only on the plate — it is born at the table, among people who share it together.
A Shared Experience
This concept brings playfulness and lightness — the opportunity to taste more and enjoy gastronomy truly together, not just sitting next to one another. It is not only about the way the dishes are served, but about the shared moment that becomes the real experience.
Aleš Pátek,
chef
Aleš Pátek and his team stand behind the concept of the shared tasting menu. He draws inspiration from contemporary global culinary trends, where fine dining is not only about technique, but also about interaction and a shared experience at the table.
His approach combines precise craftsmanship, respect for Czech ingredients, and openness to new styles of presentation. The shared menu is therefore not just an innovation, but a natural evolution of the cuisine.
How does it work?
The shared tasting menu is designed to offer:
- Shared tasting – the first main courses are served in a way that allows them to be shared and explored together.
- Individual finishing – after the shared part, you may choose how you would like to “finish” the dish according to your taste — subtle seasoning, changes in texture, or small adjustments based on your personal preferences.
- Flexibility – the concept works for both lunch and dinner services and is designed to respect traditional elements of Czech cuisine while embracing modern gastronomic trends.
Which dishes can be shared?
Skrei Cod, Orzo Risotto, Cauliflower, Dried Olives, Buttermilk Emulsion
A light and creamy yet well-structured dish with the delicate flavor of Nordic cod.
Shared accompaniments are served at the table — herb-marinated cherry tomatoes, sautéed wild broccoli, a warm Jerusalem artichoke and lentil salad with fried capers, and a delicate cauliflower purée. Guests can adjust the plate to their liking — fresher, creamier, or more intense.
Lamb Loin, Potato Fondant, Eggplant and Mint, Seasonal Ragout, Lamb Jus
A rich and aromatic dish with tender lamb and deep, flavorful jus. A course inspired by modern Czech cuisine.
For sharing, we serve silky eggplant purée with mint, roasted carrots, seasonal vegetable ragout, and sautéed Brussels sprouts with Doupov bacon. Guests can combine flavors to create their own balance — more delicate, more rustic, or more intensely meaty.
