It doesn’t matter anymore that you don’t know a lot about Brno or about romance: there go 3 proven tips!

1. Have an unforgettable dinner

There are several really great restaurants in Brno and some of them prepared special “Valentine’s Day Menus” to feed all those hungry, romance-seeking pairs.

Rialto resturant

Martin Němec, the food and beverage manager of Rialto Ristorante, sent us this yummy menu, worth CZK 890 (€32):

  • Fresh oyster
  • Creamy terrine in Ikarimi – smoked salmon jacket on cucumber noodles
  • Home-made ravioli filled with spinach, parsley, and quail soft-boiled egg white with truffle butter
  • Veal medallions wrapped in potato chips with artichokes on morel sauce and Jerusalem artichoke or Cacciucco soup with Mediterranean fish and shellfish
  • Sacher parfait with apricot sauce

  • Duck marinated in lemon and honey with peppermint and cranberry mousse
  • Tiger shrimps in rice Wonton with spicy mango sauce
  • Mint lime sorbet
  • Turkey Tournedos with potato pudding and a drop of truffle oil
  • Marchpane balls with chocolate and almonds

2. Say goodbye to Bill and Tom, the Knuts of Brno

February 14th is the perfect day to say goodbye to Bill and Tom, cute fluffy young polar bears that will leave Brno and find their new home in Gelsenkirchen a day after the Valentine’s day. The entrance fee for the ZOO is very reasonable CZK 80 (€2.80).

3. Learn about the history of sex

Exhibition “100,000 years of sex” located in the Špilberk castle has a “Valentine’s day discount” – pairs will pay CZK 200 (€7.20) for entrance instead of 2 times CZK 150. Hurray: exploring ancient erotic toys won’t destroy your budget!
