How do we cook?

Balanced, rich, and fun food for the children

Classic and beloved "granny's and mummy's" dishes are carefully combined with new recipes. Local ingredients are mixed with those introduced from abroad, creating a much-desired modern and diverse menu. Regularly trained are turning all of this into an attractive and delicious mix that children look forward to every day. All these blend into the daily lunch menu by Primirest, where the quality of food is always our top priority. After all, we are the school cafeteria you'll fall in love with.

We know how to do Cool & Fresh snacks too

We offer fresh breakfasts and snacks daily made in-house only, fully compliant with the requirements of the so-called Treat Ordinance No. 160/2018 Coll.

All these can be found in our cafeterias or in the Cool & Fresh branded cooling boxes

We keep our promises and, under all circumstances, situations, and conditions, ensure compliance with legal standards.

Who’s inspiring our chefs?

Only experienced and trained professionals work in our kitchens. However, gastronomy is a dynamic field, so everyone regularly draws inspiration from prominent figures in the industry.

Tomáš Cikhart

Brand Chef Primirest

An experienced chef who has worked in Prague’s best hotel’s kitchens. "Whether we're talking about school cafeteria or a Michelin-starred restaurant, the foundation is always honest craftsmanship and an emphasis on preparing everything from scratch," Tomáš explains his approach to work. His goal is to consistently have a third of the menu made of high-quality vegetarian meals, which he achieves.

Kristýna Ostratická

Mr. Vong

Guest Chef

Laosan Vongphachanh Lianphoukham (Mr. Vong) spices Primirest menu up with Asian flavours and specialties. He has adapted authentic recipes to meet school catering standards and to satisfy the palates of children. "When I cook, I am very strict with myself. My food always must be perfect, whether it's the preparation, cooking, or serving," always-smiling Mr. Vong describes his philosophy.

Ondřej Slanina

Guest Chef

A renown TV chef who doesn't know the meaning of the word "can’t" and, together with the Primirest restaurant and cafeteria teams – without whom he can't imagine creating culinary experiences for children – makes the impossible happen. "The desire to constantly improve is my driving force. I’m very grateful for my collaboration with Primirest because I've been involved with the company since my childhood, and it were the 'kitchen side jobs' there that helped me decide what my career would be," says Slanina himself.

Seasonal week each month

special

Flavours from both distant and neighbouring countries, carnival menus, or even a special fish week – variety is one of the cornerstones in our Primirest cafeterias and restaurants. Every third week of the month we take it to the next level with our regular culinary event, the Gastrocalendar. During the week, we serve unusual dishes in cafeterias across the country, and the children eagerly anticipate them.
