My smoked pork with two different kinds of dumplings was delicious, but the red cabbage and sauerkraut were not to my liking. I learned why after I saw big vats of it being prepared at an outdoor market. It's sauteed in lard, lots of lard. I can't stand the taste or the thought of eating it, though at this meal I didn't like the taste without knowing why. I suspect that my take on the cabbage is probably different from most people's, so if you are a lard-lover, this would probably be a great meal. It was halfway for me. I'm also not a beer drinker, so I can't review that. But you CAN eat the atmosphere, so go!!

Local restaurant on the town square with delicious Czech eats…read more The casual interior is charming with a single fresh flower and candle on every table. Plastic place mats, tavern themed art, and a rustic olde world feel. It's perfect for an area with uneven stone and brick roadways that are best enjoyed with sturdy shoes or boots. There is also an outdoor patio for al fresco dining when the weather permits. The meal was tasty but the starter bread was just okay. There were two types offered: soft rye and breadsticks. The breadsticks were as dry as a bone and I couldn't bring myself to taste one but the rye bread was soft and delicious. I would have preferred butter with the bread but it turned out that the rye bread was quite tasty on its own. The roasted rabbit with red and white cabbage was delicious and I would order this again. It was #42 on the menu and should have come with a "variety of dumplins" but since I also ordered a side of boiled potatoes, the server must have thought I wanted the potatoes *instead* of the dumplings. Not true. I wanted both! Anyway, the rabbit was perfectly roasted and seasoned. The cabbage was unlike any cabbage I've ever tasted. I actually ordered the side of boiled potatoes expecting some lame cabbage concoction to be staring back at me from my plate. Instead, I saw two thick, gravy-like preparations on my plate: one a rich purpley-red and the other creamy white. They were sweet and favorful and the perfect complement to the roasted rabbit. The svickova was delicious. The bread dumplings were soft and thick and the gravy was scrumptious. Service was just okay and although we spoke English since I hadn't yet downloaded my Google offline Czech translator, both servers did their best to speak to us in English. However, the menu includes 4 translations for every item which is extremely helpful. My one complaint would be my missing "variety of dumplins" and my missing server for nearly the entire meal. I wanted to ask about my dumplings but our server didn't return until we had finished our meals. Overall, I would say that the food was close to 4 stars but the service may have been lacking...possibly due to a language barrier. I'll take the service on the chin since I don't speak Czech and round the entire rating up to 4 stars.

A few years ago it closed down, which broke my heart but I'm happy to say: they're back! Although their servers (at least back in the day) didn't speak English, they were very friendly and we managed to get our order through quickly. I'd highly recommend their garlic soup and any of their traditional Halusky recipes. The portions are HUGE, but Czechs don't mind you asking for a doggy bag. ;)

Accidentally found this place while exploring Brno. It's across the Kostel sv. Jakuba. While places…read moresurrounding the church are tourist-inclined, this place seemed to have a lot of locals. Prices are very reasonable despite rather central location. A few kinds of beer on tap, including Krusovice and local Dacicky. We tried their Sticky Ribs - perfect. The toast with spicy pork and chicken breast went perfect with beer. They have steaks and other good cuisine. Service was very attentive and they do have menus in English. There is a smoking and non-smoking section in the back. The only con: no Wi-Fi. Overall - a great find and highly recommended.

We were a group of friends heading from Vienna to Brno for a concert. I accidentally found this…read moreplace on Yelp and thought I'd give it a try. Additionally, it was conveniently next to the concert hall we were heading. What we got in the end was a surprise for all of us. First of all, the atmosphere inside was unique. From the chairs, tables to the wall decorations, you can tell this place held on to an appearance without making it seem like they are kicking off a trend. We were lucky to find a table for us because the whole place was packed till the concert time. I am not sure if it is always packed during the evenings or if the concert nearby helped add to the fire. The menu clearly stood out as unique. They had a few traditional Czech meals but there was also the additional main stream burgers, steaks, etc offered. These mainstream meals were given a twist of its own. There was either a different sauce to what you'd expect or brought together with side-dish you would not normally choose. The meals were all outstanding. If you are in Brno with a group of friends, head out here for an evening of drinks and meal. I can assure you, you will not be disappointed and will remember this place along with the towns sights. Our group still recalls Brno to the concert we saw and this cafe/pub/restaurant.
