The 10 Best Restaurants In Liberec, Czech Republic
Those interested in winter sports and World War II history will certainly be drawn to Liberec, Czech Republic. In addition, there is a formidable culinary scene – we check out the 10 best restaurants in the city.
Kavárna bez konceptů
The name Kavárna bez konceptů translates to ‘coffee shop without concepts’. If that’s so, then perhaps no coffee shop should ever have a concept. It’s a little oasis of peace and calm in an already laid-back city. If you sit there for long enough and enjoy your coffee, sandwich or cake, you’ll see people from all walks of life come through. There is often families with young children, high-schoolers with friends, old men with their dogs, skiers on their way back from a day-trip. The cafe also constantly changes the artwork on their walls, giving local artists a chance to exhibit their work. Plus, it’s generally agreed that they have the best coffee in the city. If the Husova location is full, have no fear. They have their ‘student cafe’ just up the road on the university campus.

Svijanská hospůdka u Lva
You could scour the country and you still wouldn’t find a more typically Czech place than Svijanská hospůdka u Lva. All the beer choices come from Svijany, the local (and much loved, even throughout the country) brewery. This is one of the few places besides the brewery itself where visitors can choose between the different varieties of Svjiany. Secondly, the menu has all possible Czech options, from Czech goulash to beef with a cream sauce and beef tartar. Have a Svijany and enjoy the kitsch around you and the company of old Czech men. These men have been coming for a quiet drink every week for the last 30 years.

Radniční sklípek
When Restaurace radniční sklípek opened just at the end of 2014, it was an immediate hit. The name translates to Town Hall Cellar, which is exactly what it is. The town hall, in addition to being at the center of the city, is a very impressive building and another symbol of Czech pride. Next, it was the Svijany brewery that bought the space and it is now the only place besides the brewery itself where visitors can get Svijany’s beloved brews straight from the tank. Add to this the decor, which is a perfect mix of old Czech pub and fancy downtown establishment, and you have the perfect beer hall.
