The story
DaMartie in Třeboň serves straightforward Czech regional cooking from a family kitchen tucked beneath the Svět pond dam. Owners Jan and Ludmila build their menu around fresh ingredients sourced from nearby producers rather than chasing trends. Their approach prioritizes clear flavors and reliable preparation over heavy embellishment. Guests often find themselves settling into a spacious dining room that easily accommodates families, complete with a dedicated children’s play area.
The kitchen leans heavily on traditional Czech cuisine to honor the surrounding wetlands. A signature velouté arrives wrapped inside a light puff pastry roll stuffed with cottage cheese and smoked carp. Another standout, Třeboňský Matěj, offers a refined carp pâté where the fish flavor remains remarkably gentle. Main courses highlight classic pairings like carp finished with a bright dill sauce alongside potatoes baked directly in wood ash.
This steady commitment to local Czech cooking earned the restaurant an eleven point rating from Gault&Millau in 2026. Reviewers specifically noted the attentive service and the way well-seasoned sauces carry the heavier proteins without overwhelming them. The dining program wraps up with a tiramisu that avoids excessive sweetness while maintaining a smooth texture. Patrons frequently pair their meals with house-made lemonades or locally brewed Budvar beer to match the relaxed pace of the room.
