In the castle (entrance fee applies) there is a bistro (Bistro Winston), the castle tavern in the old forge and a wine bar with Moravian wines. https://www.hrad-veveri.cz/cs

Easily reacheable from Brno, perfect starting point for a beautiful run along the Brno Lake, to get back to the city. Definitely worth a try! p.s. watch out since finding the initial path from the castle can be a little bit tricky but it was adventurous, at least for me :)
