Metronome Prague 2026 – More Than Just Music: FRESH Festival Brings Top Gastronomy to Letňany

What belongs at a successful festival besides good music? Of course, a convincing selection of food and drinks. For the tenth anniversary of Metronome Prague, this aspect is moving more strongly into focus – thanks to the cooperation with the FRESH Festival.

For its tenth anniversary, Metronome Prague is setting new accents – and significantly expanding its concept beyond music. At the new site in Letňany, a festival world will emerge in 2026 that combines international acts with a strong focus on gastronomy.

At the heart of the new features is the cooperation with the FRESH Festival. This introduces a concept that is otherwise more typical of standalone food events. Visitors can expect a wide selection of themed food zones that go far beyond classic festival catering.

Festival Catering 2.0

In the “Wok & Spices” zone, an Asian-inspired experience takes shape – featuring Vietnamese, Thai and Mongolian cuisine, complemented by sushi, ramen and authentic specialities from Prague’s well-known Vietnamese market, TTTM Sapa.

For fans of BBQ and meat dishes, the “Heinz Grill Academy” focuses on an American-inspired setting: smokers, open grills and classic BBQ dishes such as brisket or pulled pork take centre stage. The zone is curated by The Barbecue Company led by Jakub Parus.

Fine Dining at the Festival Site

Alongside street food and grilled cuisine, the festival also aims to impress in the premium segment. A dedicated fine dining section will bring selected restaurants directly to the site.

Among them is the new restaurant Yamaya under the direction of Marek Hora, which plans to offer a preview of high-quality Japanese cuisine even before its official opening.

Burger Battle and Sweet Highlights

A crowd-puller is likely to be the final of the “Burger Battle”: here, FATFUCK Smash Burgers from Prague will compete against the Brno bistro Leharo. The winner will be decided directly by visitors – based on the number of burgers sold.

Desserts and coffee are also well covered: from churros to waffles and doughnuts through to top ice cream specialities, there is plenty on offer, and those with a sweet tooth will certainly be satisfied.
