The 1st recorded mention of a restaurant in Český Krumlov dates back to 1783. However, it wasn’t until the 19th century when many restaurants were founded and flourished, especially those serving traditional Czech cuisine.

Nowadays, Krumlov is a destination worth visiting even if only for the regional food. Over the course of the weekend, you will get a chance to taste various delicious food.

Places to replenish caffeine levels

• Drunken Cafe - Excellent café near the river with a view of the castle and the chateau. This is a must-visit when your aching feet crave a rest from walking around Krumlov. The biggest advantage is that you can sit outside and inside. They have a good selection of coffee, desserts, soup of the day (even for vegans). We also heard they have a great homemade quiche.

• Masná 130 - Right in the centre of Český Krumlov. Just a few steps from the main street. But still a quiet oasis where locals and tourists meet. The espresso bar offers specialty coffee from british roastery ‘Has Bean’. They have a selection of cakes, desserts and sandwiches.

• Café In Vivo - This place offers homemade cakes baked by the owner. If you're wondering where to go for breakfast, they have breakfast paninis and toasties. So there you go.
