We usually avoid restaurants on main squares with great views of tourist sites, especially when their name is something like, well, "Moravian Restaurant." We're very glad that we broke with tradition this time and stopped in here for dinner, because everything was as fabulous as the main square itself. Now, I've read a few reviews here and there in which people are complaining about the prices at this restaurant compared to "normal" local eateries. Olomouc does seem to have some great food, and we certainly only scratched the surface of the restaurant scene, but we've also been eating food in the Czech Republic and throughout Central Europe for a long time, and I have to say that, sure, you do pay more here than at a "regular" place serving local/regional fare, but you also get something way, way beyond a "usual" meal in terms of the quality of the ingredients, the skill of the preparation and presentation, and the professional level of the service. And, yeah, there's also that view and the overall atmosphere. If you want to experience the very best that cuisine in this part of the world has to offer, served up in a manner that is on par with a truly fine dining experience, this is the...
Read moreTourist Trap. 8 years ago, I visited for the first time and gained very positive impression. But then I typically visited Entrée during Olomouc visit. Yesterday, I decided to do some classics again… Oh my, how I was dissapointed…
Service does a great job. But quality of meals and price level is a joke. I understand it is a prime spot and I would not have any issue with the price, but quality is so average! In example: “a buttery potato mash” is just the most common pottato mash I get from any canteen. I do much better at home. Also in restaurant, I have not seen such old-school mash for ages. And like this, I can continue across the menu we had. They are even so cheapskate, they serve you wine in glasses with logo of producer… and the logo is so washed off, that half of it is missing. Again, I would try my own guests at home a nicer glass.
Maybe tourists find it it acceptable. But this place is just ripping...
Read moreGood place to go for lunch if you'd like to try local cuisine. Location of the restaurant is great, can't be missed once sightseeing the square. Food was very tasty, even though bit more expensive than other restaurants with similar type of cuisine. Inside and outside seating was available once we came. As I mentioned already food was delicious and service staff was nice as well. There are few catches though. Once you sit, almonds and bread sticks are available at the table for you, but be careful, they are not free of charge. Small note by the condiments will advise you about that. By the time you see the note, you're munching on them already. Also, for specials. They are listed on a chalk board by the entrance, but without their price. Ask for the price before you order any of those, as they are much more expensive compared to the regular...
