Heart of Europe being not only original, the delicious food cooked will blow any ones socks off. All meals are prepared in a traditional way that our mums used for many years. If you're hungry this is definitely the place to be. Currently we have two premium Czech beers on tap, ""Budejovicky Budvar"" and ""Krusovice"", served from a 0.33litre glass up to a giant 1litre stein. We also have a large variety of premium Czech and Slovak bottled beer. The restaurant wine list reflects customers demand so you can choose from a great selection of Australian wines. The restaurant caters for special occasions for up to 50 people from weddings to corporate functions, birthday parties, christenings and any type of celebrations imaginable. Special 3 course menu can be organised upon request. We can also be open for special occasions outside the ordinary opening times. Come and enjoy a unique experience while tasting mouth watering food, excellent beer all in a great atmosphere.

It is what it is, a homely Eastern European resturant/ bar. I suggest it tries to become much more a bar with food as the beer selection was the best bit by far.
