The story
Francouzská restaurace Alexandria in Luhačovice has served French cuisine to guests for more than eighty years. The dining room preserves its original wooden paneling and period furnishings, maintaining the quiet dignity of the interwar era. Presidents, ministers, and cultural figures once gathered here when the town functioned as a premier European spa destination. This commitment to consistent quality recently secured a Gault&Millau score of eleven, validating how the kitchen honors the building’s heritage while refining modern service.
The kitchen builds its menu around seasonal produce while honoring classic French cooking. Cooks complete several signature preparations directly at the guest table using flambé methods that add both aroma and visual drama. Diners frequently order the tender beef short ribs braised in red wine alongside root vegetables and smooth sweet potato purée. A lighter option features delicate sea bass fillet prepared with simple seasoning to highlight the fresh catch.
Every Friday and Saturday evening the dining hall dims its lights and fills with candlelight accompanied by soft piano melodies. Guests pair their main courses with selections from an extensive cellar featuring both Moravian and international labels. The meal concludes with house-made desserts like the crème brûlée espuma topped with hazelnut crumble and salted caramel. Traditional Wallachian cabbage soup also anchors the savory courses for those seeking regional comfort alongside refined French gastronomy.
