Proti Proudu

We love this tucked away place in Karlin! Not only because of it’s very friendly and forthcoming staff, but also because of the well-chosen brunch items on their menu. Whether you want to go big and dig into a huge French breakfast with homemade spread, a buttery croissant, marmelade and Avos or go for a lighter fare by choosing their Italian Tomato-Mozzarella bread with parmesan flakes. Every bite is a pure delight!

Proti Proudu offers both inside and outside seating. Especially on a weekend, when the usually busy Karlin becomes very slow and relaxed district, this is the spot we want to be.

We especially liked their Apricot Smoothie Bowl with Coconut Milk and Granola. Or how about something savory like their fried eggs with chili butter and dill yogurt sauce?

Lounging on their outside seating area, watching Karlin’s busy streets come alive, while sipping a darn good cup of coffee and munching away, is pure relaxation.

Homemade butter and bread, delicious pastries and a cup of coffee that’ll definitely wake you up. Eska is the perfect place to enjoy a brunch par excellence.

Eska is a joy to sit in in both summer and winter, as they have an outside seating area and a cozy, warm interior, too. If you’re sitting inside, you can watch the creative chefs of Eska cook up the lunch menu for the day.
