Step-by-step itinerary

Culinary tour of Brno's local dishes

• Taste Koláč Czech pastries
• Enjoy klobása sausage and beer
• Savor Svíčková with dumplings
• Indulge in Vetrnik caramel pastry
• Toast with Becherovka herbal liqueur

The experience

The tour moves through Brno's quieter food spots, not the tourist-packed restaurants in the center. You'll start with koláč (Czech pastries filled with fruit, poppy seeds, or cheese), then move to a rustic beer garden for klobása, the savory Czech sausage grilled to order and paired with a crisp local beer. Each stop is chosen for what locals actually eat, not what guidebooks recommend, and your guide explains the history and tradition behind each dish as you taste it.

The middle of the tour lands on svíčková, the national comfort dish: tender marinated beef in a velvety cream sauce with hints of root vegetables, served with fluffy bread dumplings that soak up the sauce. You'll eat this in a traditional Czech restaurant tucked away on a cobblestone street, with beer or another drink to accompany it. Then comes vetrník, a crispy choux pastry filled with caramel cream and topped with glaze: a sweet break before the final stop.

The tour closes with a shot of Becherovka, the herbal liqueur Czechs drink as a digestif and a cultural marker. You'll raise a glass in a cozy tavern, marking the end of the three-hour journey through Brno's food traditions. The whole route is wheelchair accessible, and public transport stops are nearby if you need them. Note that beer is served only to those 16 and older, and Becherovka only to those 18 and older. The tour is not suitable for vegans, as every dish centers on meat or dairy.

Top questions

What exactly is koláč, the pastry we start with?

Koláč is a Czech pastry with tender dough filled with fruit, poppy seeds, or cheese: a traditional treat that appears at celebrations and everyday meals alike. On this tour, it's your first taste of Czech baking.

Is the beer included, and do I have to drink it?

Beer is included with the klobása course and is served only to guests 16 and older. You can order a different drink if you prefer. Your guide will let you know the options at each stop.

What is svíčková, and why is it so important to Czech food?

Svíčková is marinated beef in a creamy sauce infused with root vegetables and spices, served with bread dumplings. It's considered the national dish and appears on the table at family dinners and restaurant menus across the country.

How long does the tour take, and how much walking is involved?

The tour runs three hours total, moving between five local establishments across Brno. You'll walk between stops, but the pace is leisurely and the route is wheelchair accessible, so mobility is not a barrier.

Can I do this tour if I'm vegan or have dietary restrictions?

The tour focuses on traditional Czech dishes built around meat and dairy, so it is not suitable for vegans. If you have other dietary needs, contact the operator before booking to discuss what might be possible at each stop.
