Other people at the table head the steak tartare. There was enough garlic to kill any vampire in a 50 mile radius but people liked it. I did the duck breast and it was coined nicely and presentation was very nice. Other people got the beef steak and said it was average. Most we under cooked. Another got the risotto and said it was "OK" but not an Italian risotto. Dessert we tried the chocolate cake ice cream and creme brulee.. every one gave 2 thumbs up. The table settled on 3 stars. Dessert and appetizers were 4 stars but not enough to reside up the average mains. Decor rated 4 stars as did the service except for the kitchen which took forever

The brewery also has a restaurant which is quite large. Upon entering the dining room is to the left. There are tables along one side of the wall that up a set of stairs to more tables. There are additional tables in the center of the dining room. Heading down a set of stairs leads to the main bar. The lighting fixtures are rather creative and make use of empty Starbrno bottles. The Sauerkraut Soup has a deep red hue studded with drizzles of sour cream. The soup is hearty and rich, and is loaded with pickled cabbage as the name suggests. The soup contains large mushrooms and potatoes, which give the soup an earthy flavor. The soup has a slightly sour finish from the sauerkraut. This was a very good dish, and would gladly order it again. The Caesar Salad contains fresh, crunchy romaine lettuce with homemade croutons and loads of parmesan cheese. The salad contained a generous amount of grilled chicken which was tender. The dressing had hints of anchovy, but there was way too much dressing and overpowered the salad. The Foie Gras was nicely seared on both sides, but since the slices were somewhat thin were slightly overcooked. It retained the rich, creamy, fatty texture however. The grilled apples added some sweetness to combat the richness of the foie. The Goulash contained very tender chunks of beef, but my main complaint was there wasn't much meat served. There was some carb overload as the dish was served with two potato pancakes, which were nice and crunchy, as well as bread. The dish was only lukewarm, so a bit of a disappointment. The sauce was also slightly bitter, which may be from too much paprika? The Beer Sponge-Biscuit Tiramisu was a take on the classic dish, served in a rustic fashion in a beer glass. The tiramisu had a hint of sour cream which gave the dish a slight tang. The dish was very good overall, but was somewhat misleading as the beer could not be discerned. The Pancakes with Lemon Sour Cream were unlike American pancakes. These looked like small hockey pucks, and was more reminiscent of a biscuit, but was a little lighter and fluffier. The cinnamon butter was light but not very spicy. The blueberries were plentiful, but not very sweet. The dish was good, but unusual when thinking of "pancakes". This dessert was not very sweet despite all of the sweet components. Pivovarska Starobrno is maybe the most "commercial" restaurant in Brno outside of KFC, but they do serve some good food at reasonable prices in a nice, relaxed atmosphere.

There were 16 of us in our group and so we were seated in a private room. I just realized that…read morethis is a number one restaurant in Brno, which isn't saying much because the city's not known for their culinary heritage. In the beginning when they were explaining the meat and the fish, they were very theatrical which seemed very rehearsed and amateur. We couldn't really hear the waiter, because some of us were already very chatty after coming from a local beer pub. We ordered some meat, fish, and added in the foie and other appetizers and side of vegetables. The veggies were actually the best part of the meal, and that's saying a lot, because I'm not much of a veggie eater! :) But then generally the produce in Europe is far superior to what we get in the States! Foie gras was seared to perfection, but the accoutrements were just mediocre. One of our fish we had was turbot, and this is one of the easier fish to debone. However, with every annoying bite of the fish, I had to pick out a bone! Absolutely unacceptable! The staff weren't particularly friendly, but this is typical of Czech so I wasn't too offended. LOL We were having a good time with our group so slow service was not too bothersome either. The bill came to $200 per person, which is not too bad IF the food was great. My hubby and I paid $200pp at Field Restaurant in Prague which's a Michelin star restaurant! This restaurant, for the service and the food, is definitely not worth the price!

Borgo Agnese is probably considered the best high end restaurant in Brno. It is located fairly…read moreclose to the Spilberk Castle grounds. We were in the neighborhood and dropped in to see if they could seat us. There was some hesitation on the part of the staff, but we were eventually seated to an empty restaurant. As our meal progressed, the restaurant did fill up quite a bit, thanks in large part to a large party with a celebratory event. We decided to go with the Degustation Menu (~$50), which included 10 courses and an intermezzo. I must say that the table setting is quite impressive and very forbidding. The meal started off with a tomato sorbet with basil. This was a refreshing way to start of the meal, as the acidity of the tomato made your taste buds dance. Next was Salted Duck Breast with sea buckthorn gel, cantaloupe and balsamic vinegar. The duck was cooked to a nice medium rare, but the dish was served on the colder side so the full flavor of the duck was somewhat muted. Next was the classic combination of Prosciutto and Melon. The prosciutto appeared to be a little dried out, but still had that salty, fatty goodness that was mellowed out by the melon which was just slightly under ripe. Creamy corn soup with crayfish, lemongrass and quinoa was next. The addition of lemongrass added a Southeast Asian twist. It added a nice citrus accent to the soup and mellowed out the crayfish. Up next was a Black Tortellini with seafood and saffron cream. The tortellini was way too thick, and made it very dense and chewy. It unfortunately had a rather unpleasant texture. Grilled Foie Gras with miso, orange and sweet potatoes was the next course. The foie gras was grilled nicely to render out some of the fat and provide a textural contrast to the buttery inside. The miso provided a salty, umami punch while the orange and sweet potato helped to control the richness of the dish. Veal Sweetbreads with white carrot puree, blood sausage, nuts and Shimeji mushrooms was served next. The sweetbreads were overcooked and a little tough, while the carrots added a touch of sweetness. The blood sausage was a little dry but overall good. The Shimeji mushrooms added another layer of earthiness to the dish. The intermezzo was calamansi and lime. While providing a nice citrus punch to reawaken the taste buds, it was a little too sweet overall for an intermezzo. Halibut was next which was served with chickpeas, barley, chives, tomato and garlic chips. The halibut remained moist and meaty, while the chickpeas and barley provided some earthiness to the dish. The garlic chips were very pronounced, and seemed to overpower the dish. Next was Wild Board Osso Bucco with Jerusalem artichoke puree. The wild boar had a nice gaminess to it, while the Jerusalem artichoke several ways provided earthiness and a little sweetness to the dish. Finally, dessert consisted of Blackberry Cheesecake, which was semi-deconstructed as the crust was crumbled onto the top of the dessert. The cheesecake was on the lighter side. The blackberries were sharply tangy which help offset the sweetness from the cheesecake. The restaurant is perhaps the nicest restaurant in all of Brno, both in design and ambition. Service was somewhat rushed and uncaring. It appeared that since we did not have a reservation that they wanted us out of there as quickly as possible. The menu serves some risky dishes such as sweetbreads and foie gras, which are things many people shy away from. The overall meal was pretty good, but there were too many missteps in preparation and cooking that prevented this meal from being great to excellent.
