The tuna is topped with a fresh salad cucumber along with a dressing made from Kikkomann soy sauce, lime and lemon juice, sugar, dried chili and other ingredients.

Shrimp lovers will certainly appreciate another dish – fried shrimp with Stoska Pappa Al Pomodoro soup. During preparation, you will smell the aromas of the Italian Mediterranean and maybe even for a moment you will feel like you are on vacation in Italy - shrimp, rosemary, basil, tomatoes, crispy ciabatta... Lemon will then scent the Laboratorio premises while preparing a delicious lemon cake. Welcome to Next Door by Imperial.

Zdeněk Pohlreich

This year he celebrated 65 years and 50 years in the field of gastronomy. He is the co-owner of three Prague restaurants, Café Imperial, Next Door and Divinis. Zdeněk became famous thanks to the program YES, CHEF!, which mapped the state of Czech gastronomy for more than 10 years.

This year he published his biography, which documents Zdenek's entire gastronomic life. He wrote with a colleague everything that preceded it before it came to public attention through the show Yes, chef! up to the present. Talking about what he came from, about his ancestors, something from his childhood, something from learning, through the war to a complicated emigration and a return to nascent capitalism in the nineties. The book is mainly about gastronomy, so Zdeněk experienced it under socialism, abroad, in corporations and even in his own private business. Over the years, Zdeněk dares to say that he has seen something, met a few people and experienced it.

Zdeněk is an active sportsman, he loves golf and cycling.
