The list was composed before Gordon Ramsays' MAZE restaurant at Hilton Prague Old Town was opened, and also Essensia at Mandarin Oriental.

Surprised you don't see Kogo or Kampa Park in the list? Thats because the food is crap, the service is lazy and unprofessional, prices are disproportional to what you receive and thus such restaurants have absolutely no place among the Gourmet Reviews regardles of how fashionable it is to be seen in them.
