František Myšák first opened his doors to customers in 1911. Soon the crowds lining up for his orange cakes spilled out into the street. But with the change of the political regime, the story of the pastry shop took a different turn.

The story of Myšák

One of his contraptions were ‘theater candies’, sold in special bags made of plant fiber so they would not rustle and create a disturbance in the middle of a performance. At the 1958 Brussels World’s Fair, his son caused a sensation with a basket of marzipan mushrooms that were impossible to distinguish from real ones.

František Myšák: confectioner by trade, inventor at heart.

Lukáš Pohl is not new to Ambiente. He was previously pastry chef at Café Savoy, Michelin-starred La Degustation, and Hospoda in New York.

A creative approach, playfulness, quality ingredients and modern technology are the timeless principles of our head pastry chef Lukáš Pohl. And they are why he and his team of pastry chefs are honored to be in Myšák today.

Building on the Myšák founders’ legacy.

František Myšák Jr. recalls how he and his father baked 
a cake for the first president of Czechoslovakia.

“Masaryk loved apricots. For his 80th birthday, we literally crammed the cake with them.”

Vanilla ice cream, caramel, whipped cream and crushed nuts in caramel form the original recipe of the Myšák sundae. We add some coffee to the caramel and serve the whole delicacy in a custom-made glass bowl.

The Myšák ice cream sundae has been famous for over 80 years.

During reconstruction in 2007, the rest of the building was demolished and rebuilt. That’s why architect Tereza Froňková and the Olgoj Chorchoj studio installed new tapestries and crystal chandeliers on the first floor. You might be surprised by what you find when you take a closer look at them!

The facade and ground floor are all that remain of the original building.
