On Horní náměstí, the Holy Trinity Column turns Olomouc’s centre into a Baroque stage. Construction began in 1717 and took 37 years; the monument, with statues, reliefs and a small chapel at its base, was inscribed on the World Heritage List in 2000. The city says restoration is under way through 2024–2026, so take time to walk around it before heading down to Dolní náměstí. There you will find Hanácká hospoda inside Hauenschild Palace; a few minutes away, Hostinec Moritz pairs Czech cooking with beer brewed on site.
Haná is the agricultural plain of central Moravia, and its food shares the generosity of Czech pubs: soups, meat, local cheese, sauces and dumpling sides. Hanácká’s menu combines classics with vegetarian alternatives and daily specials; diners often mention garlic soup, goulash and fried Olomouc cheese. Moritz is closer to a brewery tavern: its unfiltered beer comes from tanks, and the menu includes pub dishes such as tartare, ribs, pork knuckle, fish and salads. The choice depends on whether you prefer a historic address or a taste of locally brewed beer.
Hanácká’s building adds a cultural note to the meal: the venue says Mozart’s family stayed there in October 1767. It is on Dolní náměstí, south of the column, and opens from 11 a.m. daily. Moritz is beside St Moritz Church and closes on Sundays. Its microbrewery uses Haná malt and Žatec hops; a pipe beneath the street carries beer to the terrace. Check the current menu, since beer varieties and daily specials change.
Both places receive positive comments for their portions and food, although tastes differ and service can slow down during busy periods. Hanácká is a natural choice if your walk ends on Dolní náměstí or you want to eat in a historic palace. Moritz suits visitors whose priority is tank beer and a pub atmosphere. From either one, the pedestrian centre continues towards St Moritz Church and the town hall; check hours and table availability before sitting down, especially near kitchen closing time.
Choose Hanácká hospoda for a meal in a historic palace; choose Moritz for unfiltered beer brewed in Olomouc.

Hostinec Moritz makes most sense as a stop where beer is part of the cooking experience, rather than a brewery with a food menu added on. The venue brews its own beer with Haná malt and Žatec hops, serving it unfiltered straight from the tanks. Its address, Nešverova 2, is close to St Moritz Church
