The story
The stone walls of Dvůr Perlová voda near Budyně nad Ohří hold memories stretching back to the thirteenth century. What began as an eighteenth century sheepfold now houses a kitchen dedicated to seasonal Czech cooking. The surrounding landscape features rolling fields and nearby wetland forests that supply herbs and vegetables daily.
The culinary team maintains a strict zero waste policy that transforms every harvest into something usable. Potatoes grow in the adjacent plots while fruit trees and medicinal herbs line the garden borders. Regional farmers supply dairy and cured meats that appear alongside homegrown produce on the weekly menu. This dedication to modern Czech cuisine recently earned both a Michelin Green Star and a high Gault&Millau score.
Guests frequently return for the slow simmered fish preparations and the creamy pea risotto that balances earthy flavors perfectly. A sharp goat cheese salad dressed with garden vinaigrette cuts through richer meat courses with bright acidity. The on site Lanýž microbrewery ferments unpasteurized lagers using mineral rich well water drawn from beneath the estate. These traditional brewing methods complement the refined Czech dishes prepared by the same team.
