The basis of the KOISHI restaurant’s a la carte is composed of original and contemporary European cuisine combined with Asian elements.
For eight years, the chef Petr Pučík ruled the kitchen only to be replaced by his long-time sous-chef Martin Babica in mid-2017 who took over the imaginary rudder of a restaurant focused on contemporary fish cuisine and Euro-Asian fusion.

born in Bratislava in 1966 to a Slovak father and a Moravian mother, a bon vivant – but with a strong social and community consideration, a restaurateur – but an occasional fast food lover, a Doors Revival Band Brno singer – but a keen fan of The Beatles, having grown up on their music, devoted to the Zbrojovka team – but an orthodox fan of Manchester United, a wine connoisseurs – but six beers in the renown Blahovka pub can only be beaten by the six beers in the renown Blahovka pub…
