Bistro Etapa

Etapa is more than just a cozy café. It’s a kitchen that makes the most of every ingredient: peels become chips, whey is turned into brunost cheese, and surplus sourdough shows up as croutons or flavored milk. You’ll find plant-based dishes full of creativity — from colorful herb pancakes with whipped cheese to vegetable bowls layered with fermented goodies and seasonal sauces. The team bakes their own 100% whole grain sourdough bread, prepares sweets in-house, and crafts seasonal menus rooted in Czech tradition. Meat isn't on the menu, but no one leaves hungry.
 

🌿 A Kitchen with Nothing to Hide

Etapa quietly embraces a zero-waste philosophy. They don’t shout about it — they live it. Most scraps are transformed, preserved, or fermented, and menus shift with the seasons and Czech cultural calendar, from Easter to the winter solstice. Even traditional recipes get a twist — with a touch of gorgonzola here, a kale salsa there.
The space also doubles as a little concept store, offering fermented pickles, preserves, and beautifully curated goods to take home. And if the weather’s nice, grab your brownie and wander a few steps to Lyčkovo Square or Kaizlovy Sady for a shaded city picnic.
Etapa proves that sustainability and good food can — and should — go hand in hand. Taste-driven, thoughtful, and refreshingly real, it’s a brunch spot that leaves you satisfied in more ways than one.
