Cà Phê District OL

Ca Phe District in Olomouc is a hidden gem. The food was simply amazing, and the Thit Quay dish was an absolute standout. The flavors were sensational, and the pork was cooked to perfection. A must-visit for Vietnamese cuisine enthusiasts.

Cà Phê District is without a doubt the best Vietnamese cuisine I've found anywhere in the Czech Republic. Every dish is a great choice, servings are generous, the prices are surprisingly reasonable, and the staff is all great, friendly, and speaks English. You'll find great modern Vietnamese food and drink here that you don't find in most other Vietnamese restaurants. Strongly recommend!

The food here would have been much better if they had used some fresh basil, mint, cilantro, and lime in the cooking ( along with some fish sauce) .. Like they do in Vietnam.. This is evidently a Czech take on Vietnamese food and I doubt a person from Vietnam would recognize these dishes..The Pho breaks the rules by being spicy which is probably fine because they don't bother to use any of the spices that make Pho a wonderful soup.. This is beef noodle soup with lots of chopped green onion and more chili and a slice of lemon on the side.. Pho it is not. That being said the spice had me breaking into a sweat which cooled me off a bit as the place was sweltering as the city was in the grips of a heatwave... ( we ate in the garden which marginally cooler than inside.).The tofu spring rolls lack all of the above herbs but include some chopped lettuce and a soy dipping sauce which makes it all the more dismal ( certainly the traditional vinegar based dipping sauce made with a bit of rice vinegar , sugar , fish sauce , lime and chili would have helped these bland fellows) ...The chicken curry was ok.. but I found it odd to see the addition of green beans and carrots.. We took this to go and discovered that they had ignored our requests for plastic forks and an extra paper plate when we opened up the bag at the hotel.... It was hard to share a soupy curry with chopsticks out of the same take out box.... While the menu is in Czech the waitress kindly translated it for us.. a nice girl wilting in the heat....All in all, a strong MEH...( response to the response of the owner.: All the good pho I have eaten is usually cooked for many hours with variations of star anise, cardamon , sometimes a cinamon stick , whole cloves and some corriander seeds all wrapped up in cheese cloth..I have never seen pho not served without lime, basil, usually mint , bean sprouts, cilantro and chopped chili( which you did have)BTW: Lime is much better than lemon ( which you offer on the side) when it comes to Vietnamese food I think..... Its nice to have some Hoison on the table too along with the chili sauce.One of my favorite pho places always remind me NOT to add chilis until I enjoy the beautiful aromatic broth which always cooks for at least 12 hours..Certainly your spring rolls would be 100 times better with fresh herbs in them but if your customers dont like them then I can see why you don't use them ...I grow all of them in Poland ( see photo)and have a huge crop now..anyway thank you for response and I certainly understand that you must cater to your regular customer base.Regarding the lack of plastic forks with takw away meals, fine, but you happily used a plastic box with the curry to go if indeed you are trying to cut down on the use of plastics.. It would have been a kindly consideration to the customer who requests extra forks or spoons ( not to mention a paper plate) with which to eat take away food that these are not provided....Anyway: Good luck and stay well.

I went today (06/10/2022). Then it was around 12 noon. It was full of customers. Food is yummy. better go after 1.00pm if you are going to have lunch. I think then less crowed.

Friendly, tasty food. There's also small place for kids

Have visited here several times, everything is decent. Must try red curry with tofu, it’s a little spicy but very delicious!

Really amazing and authentic Vietnamese food! Really reasonably priced too. Had dinner there last night and going back for lunch today!

Amazing place! Very friendly staff and delicious food! They don’t have a menu in english but they were so friendly and helped me to find a dish that I would like. Four legged friends are also allowed - so 5 starts from me. Thank you and definetely coming back!

A super chill spot in Olo with amazing Vietnamese cuisine. The atmosphere is soo nice and they’re usually busy (no wonder) but never to an uncomfortable level. The staff has always been extremely kind and friendly. Their meals have never disappointed me and are at affordable prices but make sure to bring cash.
