What is it?

The Budvar brewery restaurant in the centre of České Budějovice, a short walk from the square, open since 1954 in the town's old butchers' stalls, a long vaulted building. It is the place in town for tank beer, with long tables where regulars and visitors mix.

What to order

Traditional Czech cooking: the budvarské výpečky, roast pork with cabbage and dumplings, and dukátové buchtičky with rum custard for dessert, plus a set lunch with soup for around 200 CZK. To drink, tank Budvar or the kroužkovaný ležák, a lager to which fresh yeast is added before the barrel is filled, so that it keeps fermenting.

Every day: 11:00 to 23:00 on weekdays, until 23:30 on Friday and Saturday (when it opens at 12:00), and Sunday 12:00 to 21:00.

What to order: the set lunch or the budvarské výpečky, roast pork with cabbage and dumplings, with the tank lager or the kroužkovaný ležák.
