Výtopna is a Czech restaurant chain, also with an outlet in Austria, in which model trainsets bring beverages[1][2] and food to every customer table. The chain has one restaurant each in Prague and Vienna. The trademark is owned by Petr Fridrich.
History
The first restaurant with model train service was founded in
The Orlová branch became independent from the chain sometime around 2018 and operates under the name Depo Orlová.
Locations
As of 2023, the chain has at least two outlets one at Wenceslas Square in Prague and one by the Naschmarkt in Vienna.
Principle
Customers are served by model trains that deliver beverages to them.[3] Trains (locomotive plus open wagon or wagons) arrive bearing customers' orders, and customers unload their own drinks, and reload the used glasses. Trains are dispatched to the tables by staff. Individual trains are digitally controlled and they make realistic sounds of genuine trains.
