What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Diners praise Svejk Restaurant for its delicious and authentic Czech cuisine, highlighting dishes like the duck, ribs, and schnitzel. The cozy atmosphere and friendly service contribute to a pleasant dining experience. While most reviews are positive, a few guests noted that some dishes, like beef cheeks and pork ribs, could be lacking in flavor without added seasoning.
"We were a little reluctant to try out this place as it was lacking an outdoor terrace, however we trusted some recommendations and went there for lunch and what a pleasant surprise! The food options were delicious, particularly worth metioning the pork ribs and the superb dessert (dumplings with marzipan, just a delight to the palate!!!). Very lovely place and pleasant staff. Highly recommended!"

"I got the duck for a traditional Czech lunch, it was very good. The atmosphere in here was very cool, and I enjoyed my experience. The duck was so good it was cooked in a way similar to Lechón so I loved it. The sauce was an interesting combination of flavors but I would say I liked it. The mango lemonade was good too. I would recommend and it’s decently priced!"
Alais Alzaga
"Restaurant with pleasant atmosphere and friendly service. It was quite crowded during the visit, I recommend to book a table in advance. The menu is mainly traditional Czech dishes. Kulajda soup was delicious. Beef cheeks and pork ribs were tasteless, we had to add a lot of salt."

Český Krumlov’s 10 Best Restaurants, Local Czech Eats
If you’ve spent enough time traveling in the Czech Republic, you’ve probably come across more than one Švejk Restaurant, and no, it’s not a chain; it’s just that Švejk is an important enough character in the Czech literary canon that he’s worthy of having restaurants everywhere named after him. He was a soldier in World War I, so the restaurant is decked out with old-time decorations and a beer tap that’s busier than most. You’ll find a calm, comfortable restaurant, solid Czech food, and the least pretentious atmosphere you can possibly imagine.
