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.

Moravia, the region of the Czech Republic where Ostrava is situated, is known as the folksier half of the country.
