Frank Sinatra still has a way of turning evenings into memories. This Sinatra Tribute pairs the most famous Sinatra hits with a pre-show three-course dinner in Art Restaurant Mánes, inside a cultural complex known for its art spaces and that old-school showbiz mood. It’s the kind of plan that feels made for a date night or a classy solo outing.

My favorite part is how the music setlist leans into the standards you actually want to sing along to, from Fly Me to the Moon to My Way. I also like that the meal is prepared by the Art Restaurant Mánes chef, Jaroslav Zahálka, so dinner doesn’t feel like an afterthought. The only real consideration: the evening moves pretty smoothly from dinner into concert, and one common nitpick is that food can come out a bit fast or not perfectly warm.

Key things to know before you go

• A true dinner-and-show format: you eat first, then head into the concert right after.
• Setlist hits the famous standards: expect songs like Strangers in the Night, New York, New York, and I’ve Got You Under My Skin.
• Dinner is a chef-driven three-course menu: pea cream soup, beef bourguignon, and sweet mini dumplings.
• A pre-concert welcome drink helps you settle in and take the edge off before the show starts.
• Creative formal dress code keeps the vibe classy, not casual.
• It’s designed as a small-group experience with an English host or greeter.

Art Restaurant Mánes dinner before the Sinatra Tribute

In Prague, the best music nights have two ingredients: good sound and good atmosphere. This one starts with dinner at Art Restaurant Mánes, which matters because you’re not just eating near a venue—you’re inside the setting that helps set the tone for the show.

The total experience runs about 140 minutes, and the evening follows a simple rhythm: welcome drink, three-course meal, then concert. That pacing is part of the value. You avoid the hassle of finding dinner elsewhere and rushing across town, and you’re already in the right mindset when the band starts.

Dress is part of the experience too. You’ll get the best results if you lean into the creative formal direction. Think smart, slightly imaginative—just not sportswear. If you show up in gym clothes, the mismatch can make you feel out of place fast.

Your three-course menu: what’s actually served

The dinner is a signature three-course meal prepared by chef Jaroslav Zahálka. Here’s the menu you can expect:

• Soup (starter): Pea cream with butter croutons, fava beans, basil crème fraîche, watercress oil, and afila sprouts
• Main course: Beef Bourguignon in red wine gravy, fried oyster mushrooms, onions, potato and celery purée
• Dessert: Sweet mini dumplings with vanilla custard
• Kids main course option (not the same as the adult main): Chicken schnitzel with potato purée

One practical detail: they can serve an alternative main course if you order it at least 48 hours before the start time. If you have dietary needs beyond what’s obvious, it’s worth planning ahead so your evening stays smooth.

The main drawback to plan for

This is the one thing I’d keep in your mental checklist: dinner-to-show timing is tight. A couple of reports point out the dinner can feel a touch quick, and sometimes dishes weren’t as warm as they should be. That doesn’t mean the food isn’t good—it just means you should show up hungry, ready to eat efficiently, and not expect a leisurely dining pace.

The Mánes setting: functionalist elegance with a piano in the spotlight

After dinner, the show shifts you into the performance space within the Mánes complex. What you’re taking in here is more than a concert room. The venue experience is built around art and architecture—so even if you’re mainly there for Sinatra, you’ll feel the surroundings shaping the mood.

You get that sense right away: the functional (functionalism style) architecture, the connection to the Manes Gallery, and the way the piano becomes part of the presentation. It all supports the classic vibe, which is exactly what you want for this kind of tribute.

If you care about atmosphere, this is a real plus. Some evenings are just about music; here the venue setting is part of the entertainment.

The Sinatra Tribute program: classic songs, real momentum

The concert runs after your meal, and the program is built like a greatest-hits set. The setlist is a mix of jazz standards and big, recognizable Sinatra-era themes—so even if Sinatra isn’t your whole personality, you’ll still catch familiar melodies quickly.

Here’s the song order:

• Fly Me to the Moon
• From Here to Eternity
• You Only Live Twice
• I’ve Got a Kick Out of You
• The Man I Love
• One for My Baby
• I’ve Got a Crush on You
• I’ve Got You Under My Skin

Then there’s a break (the show labels it as a BREAK), followed by:

• Love’s Been Good to Me
• Bang Bang
• Come Fly with Me
• New York, New York
• I’ve Got Rhythm
• Witchcraft
• Strangers in the Night
• My Way
• Something Stupid

This is a smart set design. It starts with big energy, keeps a steady flow of crowd-pleasers, and ends with the kind of finish that gets people leaning forward—especially with My Way closing strong.

Welcome drink and the small-group feel

The experience includes a welcome drink, which sounds minor until you’re sitting down at the start of an evening. It helps you settle in without having to order immediately, and it makes the whole plan feel more like a packaged night out instead of two separate activities.

It’s also offered as a small group, and the host or greeter is English. In practical terms, that means you’re less likely to get lost in a crowd, and you can ask quick questions if something about the evening timing or seating isn’t clear.

Meeting point can vary depending on the option booked, so make sure you plan a little buffer time—don’t roll up exactly at start time and hope for the best.

Value for your money: $93 for dinner plus a concert

At $93 per person, the price isn’t just for the music. You’re paying for a bundled evening: welcome drink, signature three-course dinner, and the concert itself.

Here’s how I think about value with this kind of show:

• If you were to book dinner and entertainment separately, you’d usually end up stitching together two different schedules and two different locations.
• This plan reduces friction. You eat and watch in the same venue complex, so you spend less time coordinating and more time enjoying.
• The dinner isn’t generic either. It’s chef-driven and structured, with a starter/main/dessert menu that leans classic rather than super casual.

Is it expensive? Compared with street food and a casual concert ticket, sure. But this is priced like a full evening experience—especially because you’re getting both food and entertainment in one package.

Who this is best for (and who should skip it)

This is a great fit if you want:

• Frank Sinatra fans or anyone who loves classic vocal standards
• A date night plan where dinner feels intentional, not rushed from a takeaway counter
• Visitors who want a polished Prague evening without making multiple reservations
• People who like a venue experience with art/architecture energy, not just a stage show

You might think twice if:

• You dislike fixed meal pacing and prefer long, slow dinners
• You want a purely casual, no-frills night out (the creative formal dress code sets a tone)
• You’re looking for something experimental or modern in style—this is built around timeless Sinatra material

One more small tip: if you’re traveling with kids, there is a kids main course listed (chicken schnitzel with potato purée). It can make the evening easier to manage.

Tips to get the best night possible

These are the practical moves that keep the evening feeling effortless:

• Eat with dinner-in-mind timing. Plan to enjoy your meal and then shift gears quickly to the concert.
• Dress for the room. Creative formal works best, and sportswear is not allowed.
• If you need an alternative main course, plan early. Request it at least 48 hours before the start.
• Go in expecting standards. The show centers on famous songs, so it’s best if that’s what you’re craving.

Also, there’s a nice bonus element to this kind of dinner concert: even before the music, you get that “evening out” feeling created by the combination of restaurant service and the show setting.

Should you book the Sinatra Tribute dinner concert?

I’d recommend booking this if you want a classic, easy-to-love Prague evening where the night is already planned for you—dinner first, then a Sinatra-focused concert with famous hits like New York, New York and My Way. The biggest strengths are the song list and the fact that dinner is chef-prepared as part of the experience, not just a ticket add-on.

If your priority is a slow, unhurried dinner or you’re sensitive to food temperature and pacing, you may feel the speed of the evening. In that case, treat it as a stylish show night with dinner included, not a long restaurant session.
