The Eatery

It is essential for us to cook with compassion for seasonality, provenance, and above all quality of ingredients. Our main ingredient is love. We believe this can be sensed in the final product. That's why we didn't hide our kitchen behind a wall, but placed it right in the heart of our bistro. We believe in cooking with sympathy to traditional Czech recipes and our performance is about how we brought it to the 21st century. Successfully? Judge for yourself...

A talk with Pavel Bycek

The kitchen is our stage. Sit back, relax and enjoy a great gastronomic and visual show.

What are your sources of inspiration?

My biggest inspiration is the ingredient itself and its quality. And I am trying to let the ingredient shine.

What is the most inspiring experience you had on your journey to becoming a chef?

In order to fulfill my dream to open a restaurant, I sold two motorcycles, a car and I had to borrow money from my parents.

What is your idea of pleasure?

When everybody arrives to work at time (laugh). This is what makes me happy, but there is not many days like this. Kitchen is a specific environment – something is happening there all the time, it is kind of an adventure.

What is your ultimate dream meal?

The answer are my own recipes. I cook with simple ingredients and I try to transform them into something magical. Transform the ordinary to unordinary. I am living my dream.
