What Makes This Signature Dinner at Mlýnec So Special?

Why is this an evening you won't want to miss?

Tasting Menu based on Signature Dishes

Today's restaurant scene constantly demands new menus and ever-changing creations. In the pursuit of innovation, however, chefs often leave behind the dishes that truly define them—the plates that embody their personality, craftsmanship, and culinary philosophy.

For this exclusive evening, Restaurant Mlýnec returns to those culinary treasures. Together, we have created a tasting menu celebrating the restaurant's most iconic Signature Dishes—the creations that have become part of its identity and unquestionably deserve a place in its Hall of Fame.

Become a Gault&Millau Inspector for One Evening

The Gault&Millau guide is built upon anonymous restaurant visits carried out by our inspectors. During these visits, they evaluate every aspect of the dining experience—from the quality of the cuisine, presentation, creativity, and harmony of flavours to service, atmosphere, and the overall impression.

For one evening only, you'll have the unique opportunity to step into the role of a Gault&Millau inspector yourself. It will undoubtedly be one of the most enjoyable "assignments" you could imagine.

Head Chef Láďa Vaníček

Láďa Vaníček has been part of the Mlýnec story since 2014. Starting in the cold kitchen, he worked his way through every section of the restaurant before taking on the role of Head Chef. Today, he leads the culinary team with a philosophy rooted in craftsmanship, respect for ingredients, and meticulous attention to detail—qualities that are evident in every dish that leaves the kitchen.

Driven by curiosity and creativity, he constantly seeks new flavour combinations while allowing exceptional ingredients to shine in their purest form. His approach combines technical precision with a deep appreciation for the natural character of each product.

A commitment to sustainability is an integral part of his cooking. The principles of zero-waste gastronomy, together with close collaboration with Czech farmers and local producers, provide a strong foundation for the restaurant’s culinary identity.

Together with his team, Chef Vaníček brings forgotten Czech specialities back to life. While respecting traditional techniques and culinary heritage, he is not afraid to embrace the most advanced gastronomic methods in pursuit of exceptional flavour. The result is a timeless and elegant cuisine that blends Czech and international influences, built around the finest seasonal and locally sourced ingredients.
