Dish Fine Burger Bistro 2.0

Based on the roaring success of this Vinohrady burger bar, the owners are happily planning a second location, scheduled to open somewhere in Prague 1 in October or November this year. Not many other details are known, but they say it will be a slightly different concept than the current restaurant (they describe it as “Dish 2.0″ rather than Dish 2”).
