Authentic Café (Český Krumlov)

Authentic Café Restaurant

The “At the Blue Horse” (“U modrého koně”) house at Náměstí Svornosti No. 9 is of Gothic origin, apparently from the beginning of the 14th century. The interior of the building in which the Authentic Café Restaurant is located features an extraordinary marble lavabo basin from the Late Gothic period, reputedly one of the first in a burgher house.

Although the history of the house owners is complicated, it is interesting that William of Rosenberg donated the house to the town in 1589 on the condition that the inn operation must continue. Even at present, the house features the Authentic Café Restaurant, which has been owned by the family now for 25 years .

The restaurant is particularly popular with the locals for its confectionery art. The family is proud of its cakes baked according to traditional Czech recipes and its famed caramel cream puffs.

Although the restaurant interior is more of a café type, do not hesitate to come in for a bite. We serve classic meals like roast duck with dumplings and red cabbage as well as international cuisine such as slow-cooked roast beef with steak fries and homemade tartare sauce. And you should also try the house special – fruit dumplings with marzipan and cottage cheese.

You'll be impressed by the care with which the owners designed the interior of the restaurant in the Art Deco style dating to the period of the First Czechoslovak Republic .

In summer, you can enjoy home-made ice-cream on the terrace with a view of the castle tower.
