Cà Phê Cổ - Brno — Restaurant in okres Brno-město

A beautiful space and a cool menu but one has to wait for the service incredibly long. We ended up taking our menu cards ourselves, waving to the - ignoring - waiters, and decided to go elsewhere after half an hour of failing to be tended to.

Try it out, but not for the bun bo nam bo! 🤷🏻‍♂️

EDIT: came back and tried the spring rolls, for the money they were yummy! Gave a star mainly for the...

Flexible young-spirit restaurant with Vietnamese cuisine where you don't find pho bo. The place wants to introduce to the customers other Vietnamese meals than the ones that they usually eaten. I have even fount egg coffee in the menu! I didn't try it the last time, as it was too late for a coffee, but I'll definitely get back to this place just because of that. The taste of my fish soup was very good and it was possible to have the meal without noodles, which I appreciated. The staff and I heard that also cooks were surprised and had some questions, but yeah, still possible. I like the interior a lot and I think someone spend a great deal of effort while arranging it. It's possible to pay with a card, but...
