Luxury Castle Restaurant Honoria

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 12:30 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

A poor potato-growing region called Vysočina.

This is what our hilly piece of land is often called. Whenever I hear this description, and believe me it is very often, I take the liberty of contradicting these beliefs.

I have lived here for several years, and I know all the raw materials from the fields or farms well and I understand it is one of our great wealth’s.

I try to bring the riches of our “poor” region to your plate in the best possible way.

Now in our autumn menu, you can taste almost everything that we have grown, raised, harvested, dried, picked, and stored in the Highlands during the year. I try to serve all these ingredients in the highest quality so that they are pleasing to your eyes and mouth and your visit to our restaurant Honoria is unforgettable.

From our autumn menu, I would recommend tasting everything!

However, if I had to highlight some of the dishes, I would not miss the marinated trout with Maltese sauce and leeks, and the delicious soup made from pumpkins from our field. For the main course, I would choose the classic of Czech cuisine the Sirloin Stroganov in our modern, chateau-style.

Any room left for dessert?

Be sure to try our newest carrot and sea buckthorn dessert, served with a delicious blood orange ice cream.

A beautiful autumn and Bon Appetit!
