With a UNESCO landmark, close proximity to the countryside, and a lively restaurant and bar scene, Olomouc, Czech Republic has a bit of everything. Whether it’s a restaurant with its own microbrewery that you’re looking for, a luxurious gourmet restaurant, or a hip Czech pub, our guide to Olomouc’s best restaurants has it covered.

Svatovaclavsky Pivovar

Saint Wenceslas, the man after whom this brewery is named, is the patron saint of the Czech Republic. Beer is the country’s national drink, and Czechs drink more of the stuff per capita than any other nation on Earth. So, you know that putting the two together is bound to get you a great result, and that’s exactly what you’ll find at Olomouc’s Svatovaclavsky brewery, which also has a restaurant. You’ll find seven exciting varieties of beer on tap whenever you come, and a menu full of Czech classics that will blend just perfectly with those liquid hops.

Moravska Restaurace

Pub, European, Czech

Moravia, the region of the Czech Republic where Ostrava is situated, is known as the folksier half of the country. Moravska Restaurace feels like an exceptionally well-decorated old farmhouse, with flowers on the shelves and shiny wooden beams on all sides. The menu gives you expertly crafted versions of all the most famous Czech specialties, like Czech goulash and a savory pork dish, along with a few choices that you’re less likely to find at your average pub, such as rabbit or a full steak menu.

If your aim is to get the crispest, freshest tasting Pilsner Urquell, make Restaurace Drapal your first stop in Olomouc. The restaurant is connected to the Pilsner brewery, so they have tanks of the famous golden beer. They offer a remarkably varied menu, filled with Czech classics, salads, pasta, and a chicken stir-fry. One thing to try here is the Olomoucka topinka, or Olomouc toast, which features bacon and bread baked with Olomouc cheese, a particularly pungent cheese that is only made in this region.

Hostinsky pivovar Moritz

Restaurant, European

Moritz is another restaurant and brewery together – a popular formula here in the Czech Republic.
