The story
Inside the House of Arts in Brno, Kohout na víné delivers a stylish cuisine anchored by an extensive wine program and seasonal creativity. The venue balances cultural energy with refined gastronomy, earning recognition from Gault&Millau for its unique approach to food and drink. Founded by a group of young professionals, the restaurant earned first place in the Gourmet Brno 2022 competition for its commitment to guest satisfaction. Manager Michal Rathouz leads a service culture inspired by French standards, where staff prioritize harmony and attentiveness. The space features a beautiful garden, extending the dining experience beyond the interior walls.
The kitchen centers around coq au vin, a signature preparation that evolves with the seasons under the current cooking team. Guests can explore options through tasting menus labeled Degu A and Degu B, which showcase the full range of á la carte creativity. Standout plates include gazpacho with horseradish and cabbage, duck served with onions and tarragon, and a dessert composed of rye, raspberries, banana, and caramel. The cuisine adapts freely, blending classic techniques with artistic presentations. The meal often begins with house-made bread or fresh cottage cheese, highlighting attention to detail from the first bite.
With more than 250 bottles available, the wine list emphasizes producers from Moravia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Hungary, and Italy. The restaurant employs CORAVIN technology, enabling guests to pour individual glasses of premium vintages without sealing the bottle. Vegetarian options and lunch menus complement the evening service. Practical innovations and attentive staff create a cohesive environment for focused dining.
