So let’s be honest here: 2020 sucked hard for just about everyone except maybe divorce lawyers and real estate agents who focused on summer houses and cottages in the Czech Republic.

So we thought we’d end the year with something nicer and more positive - you know, it wasn’t all that bad. So we asked some of our friends from the food industry, many of whom were guests of our podcast over the last year, two very simple questions:

1. What has brought you most joy in 2020?

2. What are you looking forward to the most in 2021?

We hope you find them inspiring.

Have a fantastic 2021, everyone. Thank you for sticking with us in 2020.

We’ve been writing these annual round-ups for quite some time but year 2020 has been… well, you know. Difficult. You’d say a list of new openings for 2020 would be very short. Well, we’re happy to report you’d be wrong. Sure, Prague’s cocktail scene, for instance, did not experience a Big Bang in 2020, for obvious reasons, but the coffee scene has added a few hefty players. And there’s a few new restaurants, too. Yes, crazy.

Let’s get to it.
