One plate to remember,
a whole evening to enjoy
Ostravi cooks over open fire with whatever the nearby farms and boats bring in that week. The menu is short, the room is warm and the pace is yours.

Why guests return
Three reasons people
book their next table before they leave
We keep the idea simple: honest fire, good produce and people who care how your evening feels.
Cooked over live fire
Everything touches the hearth: oak, cherry wood and embers. It gives each plate a depth that no pan can copy.
Produce from nearby
We buy from a handful of farms and fishing boats and rewrite the menu when their harvest changes.
Service that feels easy
Our team explains without lecturing and pours without hurrying. You are here to enjoy yourself, not to be impressed.
The tasting menu
Four courses that build on each other,
one plate stacked over the last
I
To begin
Charred leek, brown butter and hazelnut
Leeks are buried in embers until they collapse, then finished with nutty brown butter and toasted hazelnuts. It sets the tone for the evening.

II
From the sea
Day-boat fish, smoked cream and sea herbs
Whatever the boats landed that morning, cooked skin-side down over high heat. A light smoked cream and briny herbs keep it bright.

III
From the fire
Slow-roasted lamb shoulder, pickled shallot, jus
Rested for hours by the hearth and carved at the table. Sharp pickled shallots cut through the richness before the final glass of red.

IV
To finish
Roasted pear, honey ice cream and thyme
A warm pear from the embers with cold honey ice cream and a little thyme. A calm end that stays in your memory.

The lamb was so tender we stopped talking for a minute. The pacing of the whole night was perfect.

Friday evening visit
Do I need to reserve a table?
We recommend it, especially from Thursday to Saturday. A few seats at the counter are kept for walk-ins every evening.
Is there parking nearby?
There is a public car park two minutes away on Harrow Quay. Street parking is free after 18:00.
Can I bring my own wine?
Yes, on Tuesday to Thursday. There is a corkage fee per bottle, and we ask that you do not bring a wine that is already on our list.
Do you cater for allergies?
We can adapt most courses. Please tell us when you book so the kitchen can plan, and remind your server on the night.
Do you take large groups?
For parties of ten or more we offer our private room. Send us a message with the date, headcount and any needs.
