Life brought Marthy and Kristina together just before the announced end of the world in 2012.

The end of the world did not happen and the story of two creative enthusiasts began instead. They love life, tasty food, and good company. He is a chef; she is a designer. He a penchant for cooking, she for casualness and spirituality. Marthy came on to Kristina with his cooking skills, she wooed him with her philosophical talks on the sense of life.

​

And one evening, when Marthy set out in the open air on the Petřín Hill a small round thing (chocolate fondant with cherry sauce and pistachio ice cream), it was clear that love passes through the stomach. To this day, the “small round” is still offered on the Christmas menu at Marthy’s.

​

The love of food, life and people brought their professions and passion together in
a creative vision. From the age of five, Marthy held pots, pans, and cooking pots
as passionately as Kristina held a tape measure, nails, and a hammer. They both wanted to fulfil their potential in what they loved most, so Marthy started cooking and Tina took up interior design. Their motivation was to create a cosy space inspired by French spontaneity, where people would feel welcome while enjoying food made with quality and fresh ingredients of their own making.

 

Marthy’s expanded with the branch U Mánesa in 2018. The new branch includes its own bakery and patisserie, located on the lower floor of the two-storey space. Fresh croissants, pastries and desserts are available daily and stocked in both branches.

 

Marthy’s Kitchen is staffed by people who find their work meaningful. Everyone is good at something different and together they all complement each other. Together they create a harmonious space and have an open door for all people of good will. The wish of Marthy, Kristina and their colleagues is to bring people together over tasty food and in a mutually respectful environment.
