About SAMNA
Where cultures meet in the heart of Prague
Located on Ovocný trh in Prague’s Old Town, Samna brings chef Meir Adoni’s personal vision of North African and Asian cuisine to life. Mediterranean lightness meets aromatic spices, fresh herbs and unexpected combinations of flavours.
Fresh fish and seafood take centre stage on our menu. North African and Asian influences shape both our choice of ingredients and the way we prepare them. Traditional flavours find a contemporary expression while retaining their origins and character.
We give the same care to our surroundings and hospitality as we do to our food. A distinctive façade, natural textures, thoughtful details and a personal welcome create a place to feel at ease, discover new flavours and enjoy time together around the table.
Memories reimagined
Behind Samna’s cuisine is chef Meir Adoni. His approach to cooking is deeply rooted in his family history, in his Moroccan heritage and a childhood shaped by his mother’s and grandmother’s kitchens. This is where his love of spices, aromas and food’s ability to bring people together began.
These memories are the starting point for his creativity. At Samna, he brings them together with Asian flavours, ingredients and techniques, giving them a contemporary expression that is distinctly his own. His cooking combines respect for tradition with curiosity and a desire to explore new possibilities.
Samna tells Meir Adoni’s personal story, a story of his roots, his inspirations and the joy of food that he wants to share with every guest.
