Gault&Millau Exclusive Dinner Regional Tour 2026

Discover the finest of Czech gastronomy in your region.

Join us on a unique culinary journey filled with outstanding flavours and memorable experiences.

The inaugural Gault&Millau Exclusive Dinner Regional Tour 2026 presents a carefully curated selection of 10 top chefs and restaurants through a series of exceptional Signature Dish Dinners, each featuring a tasting menu created exclusively for this occasion.

What Makes This Tasting Dinner So Special and Why Should You Not Miss It?

Today's restaurant scene demands constant change, with menus continually evolving in an effort to keep the offering fresh and exciting. Yet what is often overlooked is that chefs can exhaust their creativity in this relentless pursuit of something new, rarely returning to the dishes that truly define them. These signature dishes bear the chef's distinctive style, personality and craftsmanship, creating the unmistakable identity of a restaurant.

Some of these dishes are so exceptional and defining that they deserve a place in an imaginary Hall of Fame. Together, we want to present you with a menu worthy of a place in the restaurant's own Hall of Fame.

Experience a Harvest Celebration at the Mill

A unique modern interpretation of a traditional harvest menu by Liberec-based chef Vojtěch Barac has been created to complement the distinctive genius loci of Podhlavický Mlýn. It reflects his philosophy of combining modern gastronomy with respect for the place itself, traditional craftsmanship and local ingredients.

Alongside an unforgettable gastronomic experience, you will have the opportunity not only to spend the evening at PM89 Restaurant, but also to stay overnight in one of Podhlavický Mlýn's ten unique rooms. This will allow you to immerse yourself fully in the atmosphere of this remarkable place and experience it with all your senses.

Podhlavický mlýn

Podhlavický Mlýn welcomes you to a peaceful corner of the Český Dub region, an area rich in history, tradition and beautiful natural scenery. The original mill, dating back to the early 17th century, has been respectfully transformed into a boutique hotel and restaurant, combining the charm of its historic past with contemporary comfort. The result is a unique setting designed to offer unforgettable moments of relaxation, with a sense of luxury and tranquillity.

The current owners had a clear vision: to create an exceptional boutique hotel built on family values, preserving local traditions while respecting the legacy of previous generations and the mill's original owners. Their mission is to preserve the beautifully restored mill for future generations and to care for its unique genius loci – the distinctive spirit of the place.

Chef Vojtěch Barac

Vojtěch Barac, Head Chef of PM89 Restaurant, gained his experience at some of Prague’s leading restaurants, as well as during an internship at the Michelin-starred La Degustation Bohême Bourgeoise.

His cuisine is rooted in honest Czech culinary traditions, which he combines with French techniques, his own creativity and high-quality ingredients from the Liberec region.

At Podhlavický Mlýn, his aim is to create contemporary cuisine while respecting tradition, the local landscape and the seasons. His goal is to create dishes that are thoughtful, authentic and natural – the kind of food that makes guests want to return to the mill time and again.
