Gault&Millau's review 2026

Sustainability, locality, seasonality and a respectful attitude towards ingredients are not fashion labels at Krištof, but part of the house philosophy. Krištof is one of those inns where homeliness is not lost in modernity, but takes its breath even further. It mirrors the soul of the countryside, but at the same time follows the latest culinary trends with extremely sophisticated local cuisine and offers a high-level experience – ideal for lovers of authentic flavours who appreciate modern, creative interpretations. Among the specialties, the marinated Kingfisher trout stands out; Tender trout meat is intertwined with horseradish mousse, apple pieces and ginger. Krištof also impresses with venison. The deer was excellent – the nice medium-rare and extremely juicy meat left a strong impression. As befits venison, the plate was complemented by a sweet accent – the fig chutney paired wonderfully with the meat. The sweet symphony of textures and aromas is also enchanting: buckwheat and cheese dumplings are enriched with baked apple and cinnamon, vanilla sauce and homemade ice cream. The house sommelier is a passionate wine connoisseur, carefully selecting wine accompaniments to add a new dimension to dishes. His recommendations are not accidental, he thoughtfully connects wines with the seasonal flavors of the cuisine.
