Mlsná kavka

Yesterday I had a wonderful evening at Green Drinks in Mlsná kavka ('Picky Jackdaw'), a vegetarian restaurant near Florenc, which combines quality vegetarian meals with occupation for people less-favored on the labor market under one roof and in one kitchen.

The restaurant has a nice atmosphere, created by the two different parts of the restaurant and the lovely decorations.

Mlsná kavka has a simple menu, but with wonderful dishes such as Zucchini rolls and Portobello steak. To go with that, they serve some nice wines, fresh orange juice and homemade lemonade, all worth a try. The menu changes every season, since they use seasonal ingredients.

On Sundays they also have the possibility to have a brunch from 11:00 - 15:00 (11AM - 3PM). On the menu are soups, omelettes, bagels, salty cakes, and varried sallads. And of course some sweets: muffins, croissants, donuts, freshly squeezed orange juice and more.

What I didn't know when I came in, or even up to the moment one of my messmates told me, is that Mlsná kavka is a training cafe, where people with mental illness can regain self-confidence and skills important to return to the open labor market. Civic Association Green Doors brought the concept of training cafes to the Czech Republic and I think it's a great one. Of course a part of my interest in this comes from my former job as a reintegration coach in the Netherlands. Still, I think more initiatives like this should exist and I'm definitely going to support this one with more visits!
