The cuisine of chef Jan Kraus is based on a modern interpretation of Czech gastronomy. It uses fresh ingredients from regional suppliers and emphasizes honest handwork - they prepare their own pastries, pâtés, pastrami and desserts. The menu combines classic recipes with elegant presentation and balanced flavors. Guests can enjoy, for example, confit duck leg with cabbage and crispy potato dumplings, beef cheeks in red wine, pike perch with dill sauce and baked potatoes or filleted sirloin with truffle oil and creamy spinach.
Lovers of lighter cuisine will be pleased with a salad with grilled goat cheese and pear, while gourmets will be pleased with a rich selection of steaks. The sweet spot is represented by chocolate fondant with raspberry compote, blueberry dumplings with vanilla cream or crêpe Suzette pancake.
The gourmet experience is complemented by a wine list with Moravian and foreign wines, Pilsner Urquell draft beer and a range of signature cocktails. Coffee is prepared by professional baristas with an emphasis on quality, precision and a personal approach.
Pension U Hradu is not just a restaurant, but a comprehensive experience that combines comfort, beautiful surroundings and first-class gastronomy. It is a place where tradition is transformed into a modern gourmet story - and where every guest feels welcome.
