If you’re looking for delicious plant-based cuisine in Brno, make your way to Jakubské náměstí 1 in the center of Brno, where Forky’s bistro is located in the gorgeous space of the former Café Savoy, which was built in the 1920s in the grand café style.
The café’s majestic original onyx staircase was carefully restored and it lends a touch of grandeur to the otherwise modern and minimal appearance of this popular restaurant, so come for the interior and stay for the food. When Luboš Vidlička, Forky’s owner, and his wife switched to a plant-based diet, they noticed a gap in contemporary Czech gastronomy - healthy vegetarian street-food fare that appeals to vegans, vegetarians, and omnivores alike. Forky’s menu features Czech and European, as well as Asian and Mexican inspired soups and starters, main courses, and desserts. Their vegan burgers are unquestionably the best in town and come topped with farm fresh lettuce and assorted vegetables all nestled between homemade buns. Another favorite is their Nofish & Chips, a plant-based variation on the popular British dish. If you’re in the mood for something fresh and crispy, select one of their tasty Asia Bowls – rice noodles with various healthy toppings and sauces. Or go with the Superbowl option, which is Forky’s original take on the traditional salad bar, where you select which salads, superfoods, and dressing go into your customized bowl. They also serve first-rate coffee to complement their selection of homemade pastries. No animal products are used in their kitchen or sold on their shelves or in their fridges, echoing their motto: “respect for life.” Healthy, ethical food this good shouldn’t be missed.
