Soul Bistro - Brnenec

Been there yesterday for the first time. I love the way people treat you, the waitresses are so nice to the people, everybody speaks English, the food is very good and I 'd say the price is you get what you pay for . It 's a little bit expensive for the neighborhood, but it 's worth every crown.

I told my friend “This is one of the best meals I’ve had this year”. I ordered a meat sandwich with fries and an apple cider to drink. The food is light and brilliantly put together. My friend had a roast beef steak and was also very happy. The place hosts a trendy atmosphere where you can casually enjoy a delightful meal. We spent a total of 500 czk.

Delicious Hummus the best I've ever had in Brno, with tasty goat cheese. The place is cosy and service is nice as well. Good selection of wine and lemonades.

'Live to eat, not eat to live. ' – this motto on a wall of Soul Bistro quite much explains what is going on there. When I first went there it was quite confusing because it‘s hidden in the building of Česká televize (Czech TV but don’t hesitate to walk in : I like Soul probably the most of all ‚bistros‘ in Brno. Interior is light and clear, they have bagels, Bernard beer and deliciously looking cakes. I recommend fish and chips which comes in a piece of newspaper, exactly how it should. Homemade fries, the best onion dip…only there can be more of the fish. I also had bagel with smoked salmon and emental cheese. The bagel itself was a bit harder, probably not super fresh but the filling was delicious and it saved the whole feeling about this meal. Although there’s still something I miss in their food...I can’t figure out what that is but at least there 's a space to improve : (and just a detail it’s a bit pricey considering it’s just a bistro .

I am afraid I cannot write an objective review about Soul Bistro this bistro is akin to a gastronomical soulmate of mine and I love the atmosphere, the food, the concept, the interior, the location. In fact, I like everything about Soul Bistro and wish it was mine apart from their coffee ; Seriously though, this is exactly what I imagine any hip bistro would look like. The giant storefront windows create an airy space that isn't even hampered by the somewhat crowded seating arrangements. I also enjoy the elevated bar area that quietly takes a scenic backseat in the entire layout of the main seating area, but you still see it and it still reaffirms the fact you're sitting in a bistro. It just works for me I like it! Coming to the interesting bits, the food is pricier than average but still nothing too offensive and given the quality ingredients and very central location (their rent must be massive I can't object to that. What's important is that they don't let you down. Soul offer a spectacular Fish Chips, if I am not mistaken, the only one in Brno, though they do wrap it in brown packing paper rather than yesterday's newspaper. Their variations on cold beef salads are too good to pass up and same can be said of their beetroot a white cheese salad a combination I've immediately added to my favourites when cooking back home. What else is good here? Well the deserts certainly are! Can't recall a day when they wouldn't have at least 4 cakes to choose from though most likely you'll find half a dozen and the only trouble you'll have is choosing which one to try first! Oh, and if you come by in colder seasons, try out the chai tea they serve in cute enamel mugs. I could probably go on and on, but my point is I love this place and it's always among the first to pop in my head when considering a place to go eat out. So on you go, try out Soul Bistro and after a tasty meal you can move on to some tasty beer on a particular corner of Jakubske namesti ;
