The lower house of the Czech Parliament approved on Wednesday a requirement that supermarkets carry a minimum share of local food, a move to be less dependent on imports. MEPs have approved mandatory quotas for Czech food in shops. From 2022, more than 50 percent of Czech products should be sold in stores. Some EU countries warn Czechia against quotas that the adoption of the law is very likely to make food more expensive. The share of Czech food in stores that are bigger than 400 sq. meters should be at least 55% in 2022 and increase to at least 73% in 2028, according to the bill. It was drafted by the opposition populist Freedom and Direct Democracy party that pushed it through the house with the help from the ruling coalition of Prime Minister Andrej Babis. The controversial move still needs to be approved by the upper house, the Senate, which is controlled by the opposition, and then by the president. The lower house can override a possible Senate or presidential veto by a simple majority. Those who voted in favor of the bill argued that the coronavirus pandemic showed that it is important for the country to be...
Asian cuisine is becoming more and more popular in the heart of Europe. It is easy to see the trend of Asian cuisine in Prague growing as the number of fine dining establishments, noodle bars, sushi bars, and eateries keep popping up one after another in the many neighborhoods of Prague. The new restaurant PRU58 coming to Holešovice, promises to deliver a menu packed full of Asian cuisine with a modern twist. The founder of Café Buddha and Benjamin Štěpán Návrat is the mind behind the new restaurant. Customers can expect an unforgettable dining experience with a focus on fresh, locally sourced ingredients, seasonal menu changes, and food that smacks of flavour without compromising on health. No classic pho bo or bum bo nam bo then, only special Asian-style dishes. An example? Quail cooked on a special barbecue with fried bananas and cauliflower or beef with Bangkok curry. According to Návrat, post-covid gastronomy will offer better quality for several reasons. “I think the market will clean it up in a way. There will be fewer companies, so we will be able to teach customers humility and more organization. In addition to catering, companies will provide other services such as cooking...

Mooi is an all-vegan restaurant in Brno offering kebabs, gyros, wraps, salads, and fries with vegan dips. Despite the unfavorable current situation, the two owners will open a second branch in Prague. This might surprise some, since Czech cuisine is all about stewed meats, dumplings, and heavy sauces, but happycow.net placed Prague among the 10 most vegan-friendly cities in the world for the second year in a row. The ranking was created taking into account the ratio between population and number of restaurants that offer menus for non-meat eaters. There’s an ever-growing need in large metropolitan cities for foods available for those suffering from coeliac disease to other food intolerances, vegetarians, and allergies. Czechs have started to change their thinking about food and health, while growth in tourism in recent times means people of all shades and tastes have been descending on the Czech Republic capital in greater numbers, and with a correlating rise in veganism, menus are changing to accommodate them. “The time is definitely not suitable. But the decision to open a branch in Prague came in February 2020, just before the whole crisis began. In addition, we were firmly determined from the first moment we learned about...

Argentinian restaurant Gran Fierro initially opened its doors in 2014 in the centre of Prague in Voršilská Street. After relocating this year to Myslikova Street in Prague, the owner, Juan Cruz, is on a mission to bring sustainability to the heart of the restaurant. “We came out of the quarantine with a fresh and more conscious approach. We can proudly say that we are transforming Gran Fierro into a Circular Restaurant.” The new interior of Gran Fierro, inspired by Juan’s Argentinian roots, was designed by the award-winning studio Forma Fatal. Among many original details, there is an impressive wall with hanging coals that showcases their commitment to sustainability. “It’s a magnificent looking statement.

Knowing the difference between them is vital for sustainability.” Gran Fierro is known for its premium steaks prepared on a charcoal grill that adds a unique and authentic flavour and moisture....
Tucked in a corner of Vinohrady in Prague 2, an Italian wine bar run by a couple team is serving up the taste of Tuscany. Anna and Glenn run this small bar in Prague 2, situated close to Riegrovy Sady and the leafy Manesova Street. You will find a modest selection of wines from many Italian regions in Assaggio (which means “to taste”), with an emphasis on wines from Tuscany, where they have often visited to discover new wineries. Small, honest family-run wine producers with quality and reasonable prices are the philosophy with which the owners of Assaggio wish to present their wines.
