Eatery & Bakery

SHARING FOOD, STORIES AND GOOD TIMES SINCE 2017.

The path of gastronomy that connects all corners of the world doesn't end at our Cooking Bar Café. We decided to bring the hostel’s concept of sharing into our Eatery & Bakery as well, because we love it and we believe you will too.

The Eatery & Bakery is located on the ground floor of our historic building and we have once again approached this unique space with the utmost care throughout the renovations. Our main vision was to create a relaxed and informal atmosphere with the right amount of elegance but at the same time stay true to the magic of shared family dining experience. 

Eatery & Bakery is a culinary mosaic serving contemporary food, made with respect to nature and its seasonal produce. Even though we get most of our produce from nearby farms and producers in Moravia region, we do bring a lot of foreign flavours into the mix as well.  Apart from everyday sale of our freshly baked goods, and home-made products, we offer casual lunches, creative share-plate style dinners as well as dining experience evenings known as ‘chef’s table’.

MEET JOSPER GRILL.

The highlight of our open kitchen is Josper Grill, who's the most popular team player to all the boys in the kitchen and it's probably because it’s well known as the Ferrari among the grills.

Basically, it's a grill and an oven in one, it's stoked with charcoal, which means the food is prepared in temperatures up to 300 degrees. This is why, the grilling process is one of the most effective ever, as the ingredients are roasted from all sides at the same time, therefore keeping all its flavor and juices inside. The smoke, which can be regulated in various ways, plays a huge role here as well.

The taste of not only meat but also vegetables is, therefore, shifting to completely different dimensions.

TRADITIONS TO KEEP

In order to properly honor the history of our ancient fortress, we focused on the old times when this beautiful building used to be a military bakery. Even the street that leads to us down the hill carries the name "Bakers Street" and much to our surprise, the last tenant of this space used to be a bakery boarding school. However, the ovens were finally turned off by the big city floods in 1997. 

Since we love reconnecting to old roots, and we believe that traditions should be honored, we decided  turn those ovens back on to full power again. 

Our wheat-rye sourdough bread is the core element of our bakery assortment along with rye bread and sourdough focaccia or ciabatta. Big stars of the show are sweet pastries as well, like fluffy brioche rolls, traditional old-school pastries of many flavors and much more.

All of our bakery products are available for over the counter sales so you can keep your home well stocked up. As you might have guessed, they are an essential part of our menu both in the Eatery and in the Café upstairs, but above all, they play a major part on our breakfast buffet.

HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS.

The fact, that these two native Moravians have returned after years of travel back to their birth-land is simply nothing more than fate.

Peter has been ruling the Log Story Short kitchen since summer 2018 as Chef Executive and Roman has claimed the title of Head Chef early in 2023.

Each of them brings a piece of their soul in to the game which makes the concept of Eatery & Bakery simply unique.

Petr Heneš

Peter started his career in Austria and and also gained further work experience over several months of internships in Canada, Argentina, Brazil and Indonesia.

On the Prague restaurant scene he was the Head Chef of the Cuban restaurant La Bodeguita del Medio and he also led the Oliva Brewery Restaurant.You could taste his culinary talent also in Perlová Voda and the Forbidden Taste pop-up restaurant concept, where he focused mainly on food design and the latest gastronomic trends.

Roman Čaník

Roman’s gastro story began with a trip to Lyon in France. After his return he was mostly traveling for work around Czech Republic or Slovakia.

In the end he landed in his home town Olomouc again, this time in the Entrée Restaurant, where he worked alongside Přemek Forejt for little short of 5 years as a Junior Sous Chef and then as a Head Pastry Chef. Nevertheless it’s not his first time in the position of a Head Chef either. From Entrée he moved to Teplice for 3 years where he was in charge of the entire concept of J&J Restaurant, which belongs to the North Bohemian chain Lagarto.

WITH EVERY PLATE, A STORY FOLLOWS.

Why stick to one meal when you can share a few?

The key inspiration was the hostel's relaxed and informal atmosphere and so the whole concept of sharing was naturally transferred to tables of Eatery & Bakery.

Our vision is to link up this concept with childhood memories of Sunday lunches at grandma's house, where the whole family gets together, you dig into the pots with the spoon, pick the steak you like the most, and everyone shares how'd they been. At our place, it's just a perfect way how to try more than one meal out of the menu.

Because the boys in the kitchen are a very inventive crew, on our menu you can look forward to a creative spin on traditional classics, as well as meals that might surprise you by the combination of flavors from different parts of the world.

The menu is rather brief, but all the more dynamic. Because it's dependent on the availability of products it changes every 1-2 weeks, so you can always try something new along with our signature dishes. 

Everything we serve is made fresh in our kitchen. We cook from simple, seasonal and locally sourced ingredients, from meat to vegetables.  

We get game from local hunters, beautiful pieces from Maso Klouda, farm V30 or lamb from Rudimov's Maso z lúky. Thanks to our open kitchen, all prep is absolutely transparent including the meat ageing process.

And because the Josper grill is a legend not only for grilling perfect steaks, vegetarians and vegans will enjoy the same piece of pie as meat lovers. The theme of veg meals has been popular with us right from the start, and the primary vision of the concept as a whole is the idea that everyone at one table has equally full-fledged experience.

FROM OUR BARTENDER WORKSHOP

Great food just can’t go without great drinks and so it's important to us that the drinks menu goes hand in hand with the plates.

On tap you’ll find already known LSS Lager which is brewed for us by the family brewery Jadrníček as well as dynamic offer of craft beers from the surrounding micro breweries. 

We pick every wine in order to showcase the best variety of tastes and aromas. The selection is always made with respect to nature, therefore you can look forward to VEGAN wines as well. The wine list offers beautiful authentic pieces not only from Italy, France or Germany, but also domestic wines from leading winemakers.

We didn't forget to include selection of natural lemonades, refreshing cocktails or specialty coffee from Rusty Nails which we pair with our desserts.
