Brno student Simona Ostřanská found her way to fried cheese after she stopped eating meat. “I think the best one is in Stopková pivnica, where they have gouda and potatoes and tartare. For example, in Lokále, they have it on clarified butter, but it seems quite greasy to me,” she commented on the fried cheeses in businesses on Česká and Kozí streets in Brno.

The last time they raised the price of fried cheese in Lokál in Brno was last fall, when they replaced classic edam with organic artisanal cheese. “It’s a fried artisanal edam that is custom-made for the locals. We serve it with boiled potatoes covered in butter and homemade tartare,” Opálka described. People eat at other places much cheaper at noon.
For example, in the U Karla restaurant in Bayerova street in Brno. The menu here offers fried cheese for 149 crowns including soup. “We raise prices only when it is necessary and the prices of input raw materials, or energy or wages, rise sharply. “Unfortunately, there were three times last year that we had to raise prices by a few crowns,” said Radek Klimeš of the operating company.
Fried cheese together with schnitzel and their various modifications are also sold the most at U Karel. He offers edam here, because according to Klimeš, it is the most suitable and does not run out after frying. “We wrap it in breadcrumbs according to our recipe. If you use high-quality ingredients for the fryer, homemade tartare, add to that human labor, which in gastronomy rises by twenty percent year-on-year due to the lack of staff, and of course the profit, you are on the price of almost two hundred crowns,” explained the operator.
The prices of the lunch menu are cheaper than the rest of the day, because more food is sold. U Karla’s “biggest fryer in Brno” is a specialty on the permanent menu. The whole meal weighs about one kilogram. “Couples have it as a romantic dinner, but also gentlemen and ladies as a challenge,” added Klimeš.
The prices of fried cheeses on the permanent menu usually range from around one hundred and sixty crowns to two hundred. “That’s still cool, but more is too much for me. I understand that restaurants have higher costs, but a fryer for almost three hundred is a lot. It’s still just a piece of cheese,” said Ostřanská.
