The menu of the Restaurant Honoria
To satisfy even the most avid culinary aficionados, we decided to introduce the concept of a unique and delicious tasting menu that draws upon both seasonal and local ingredients. Changing every four months, it is a unique gourmet experience for all. Do not miss this incredibly delicious experience!
Our tasting menu is served for both our hotel and guests from outside only until 19:30 every day. Of course, our complete restaurant a la carte menu where you can find excellent food inspired by Czech cuisine is available to all our guests. The recommended dress code for all our guests at the restaurant is smart casual, during evening hours.
Breakfast is served from 8:00 until 10:30 and the price of breakfast is included in the price of the room for our hotel guest. For non-hotel guests, we charge 440,- CZK for our a la carte menu selection. Guests can enjoy our snack menu from 12:00 until 16:00.
Bon appetit!

Our head chef
Michael Zapalač, Head Chef of restaurant Honoria, Chateau Herálec, Boutique Hotel & Spa by L’Occitane
What brought Michal to cooking, was curiosity! He worked at a place, where according to him they cooked to a high-class standard, so he decided to start learning. His ambition to know more brought him to university, but after five semesters he gave it up: studying and working in the kitchen full time did not come together. As he says frankly, he still enjoys it. He perceives a high gastronomy as a discovery path, often hectic, but madly inspirational.
He came to Chateau Herálec as an experienced chef, but after 2 years he left and collected further experience in Prague, Germany, and the USA. Eventually, he returned to the castle and today he and his team are cooking honest Czech cuisine. He loves French techniques, often laborious recipes. He claims, however, that honesty simply pays off in the kitchen. In our kitchen, we cook from local ingredients, and from our own vegetable and herb gardens, in the greenhouse, or in the field under the granary. We bake our own pastries, cakes, and bread, and Michal would like to give his successor once. Maybe in this beautiful family project, the quack will become a symbol of something that can last for generations.
Like any great chef, Michal is a workaholic. Asked what was the biggest reward for him after a hard day: “Definitely satisfied guests who enjoyed the food we served. Then in the evening, I go sit on my balcony with a bottle of beer and say to myself, “What a great evening!”

Restaurant Honoria Menu
Snow slowly falling outside in the park and winter has finally come upon us, with its magical atmosphere. We will try to bring this enchanting atmosphere even into our new menu!
In the surrounding fields and farms, the farmers had worked the whole year really hard, to create the produce you will be eating in these dishes. We did not shy away from this tradition neither, where potatoes are a huge thing in Vysočina and we are ourselves grow them in the highest BIO quality.
This year’s produce was so generous, we will be able to serve it the whole winter in several different modifications. One of these modifications is, for example, potato ravioli filled with pork meat with spinach. This is how a Czech traditional meal can look like.
Do you know what classics we mean?
Winter is the representation of all sorts of meats, and the game is also included and we got the best one from Mr. Šmidrkal. For this particular time, it is a fallow deer saddle with parsnips, which will surely impress many lovers of the game.
Last but not least, I would like to recommend gingerbread brownies. The combination of pumpkin, celery, and avocado with these brownies will surprise you.
Bon Appétit!
