Vepřo-knedlo-zelo exceeded every expectation

I went in with low expectations — I'd had mediocre versions before. What I found was Vepřo-knedlo-zelo made with real commitment to Czech beer and technique. The hearty and deeply savoury result was more complex and satisfying than anything I'd had before.

Czech cuisine is inseparable from beer culture, one of the world's highest per-capita consumption nations. The a ski resort lunch was exactly right for this kind of eating. Moravian wine was offered as the natural choice and it elevated everything. When a dish you thought you knew surprises you completely, that's worth celebrating. Five stars without hesitation.
