Less than a month after our last visit, we headed back to Mlýnec Restaurant, this time for the weekend brunch. It is served at Mlýnec every Saturday and Sunday and ranks among the very popular events for guests; the capacity is often fully booked.
It always offers guests three appetizers, three main courses, and two desserts. The weekend brunch menu is always known a week in advance. Each course is served to share for everyone at the table; guests serve their own portions onto their own plates, and the portions are reasonably sized. The meal is complemented by unlimited consumption of white and red wine, Prosecco, beer, and selected non-alcoholic beverages.
Practically immediately after being seated, a welcome glass of Prosecco and still-warm bread with broccoli cream cheese landed on our table. There were three of us, so everyone had their portion prepared on the plate.
Truly excellent mushroom kyselo, shimeji mushrooms, and spring onion were served as an appetizer. Kyselo is one of the traditional Czech soups. The chicken croquette was then complemented by a celeriac remoulade with nuts.
Another appetizer was a seafood salad, fennel, celery stalks, and Little Gem lettuce. At our request, shrimps were omitted from one portion due to an allergy.
Saithe with pea risotto and Béarnaise sauce was the first of the main courses. They make excellent risotto at Mlýnec. The fish was prepared superbly, and the Béarnaise sauce went with it perfectly.
The next plate of main courses offered a grilled beef steak, turkey confit with Cognac sauce, and a potato croquette with mozzarella and pancetta as a side dish. In a bowl, there was beetroot with polenta, corn, and peanuts.
Crème caramel with thyme crumble and a strawberry cupcake with mint were served as desserts.
The weekend brunch at Mlýnec is served every Saturday and Sunday from 11:30 to 15:00 and costs 1 190 CZK (48 EUR). If I add the unlimited consumption of quality Italian wines, beer, and selected non-alcoholic beverages, the incredible view of the Charles Bridge, and, last but not least, the very pleasant and absolutely professional service to the food offered, it strikes me as a great offer. If you haven't been to a weekend brunch at Mlýnec yet, go; you won't regret it.
And maybe you will even "close down" the restaurant, just like we did in this instance ... 😇
