The story
Grandezza Restaurant in Brno centers its menu on Mediterranean cuisine, drawing heavily from Italian cooking traditions. The establishment sits on Zelný trh, a marketplace operating since the thirteenth century. Chefs visit this historic square daily to select fresh produce and draw inspiration from local vendors. This direct connection to regional suppliers keeps the Italian kitchen grounded in seasonal reality. A Gault&Millau reviewer recently noted that the food selection remains consistently strong, placing the approach just short of flawless execution.
The menu highlights delicate preparations like pappardelle served with rabbit ragout and root vegetables. Guests often order the lentil soup enriched with seafood, which showcases careful ingredient balance. Creamy risotto featuring chanterelles and Parmesan cheese provides an earthy counterpoint to lighter options. Sweet finishes include mandarin sorbet and salted caramel ice cream, offering varied textures at the end of a meal. The beverage program complements these dishes with a curated wine list focusing on European regions.
Interior design merges Art Nouveau and Art Deco influences through glass panels, metal accents, and patterned upholstery. A series of structural columns divide the long main hall, while a raised platform beneath the windows creates distinct seating zones. An open kitchen allows diners to watch preparations unfold, and a dedicated bar displays an extensive spirits collection. The venue accommodates formal gatherings and private celebrations for up to one hundred guests without losing its refined character.
