MLÝNEC Signature Dish Dinner
September 2, 2026, Mlýnec Restaurant, Prague
Taste Mlýnec's Legendary Dishes and Become a Gault&Millau Inspector for One Evening
On Wednesday, 2 September, Mlýnec will become the next stop on the Gault&Millau Exclusive Dinner Regional Tour, offering an experience that cannot be repeated. Head Chef Láďa Vaníček will prepare a six-course tasting menu featuring the signature dishes that best define the restaurant's culinary identity – creations that have become part of Mlýnec's history and which, according to Gault&Millau inspectors, would undoubtedly deserve a place in the restaurant's own culinary hall of fame. The evening will be complemented by carefully selected wine or sophisticated non-alcoholic pairings and the unique atmosphere of the restaurant overlooking Charles Bridge, awarded 15 points and 3 Gault&Millau toques.
The Mlýnec Signature Dish Dinner will offer one more extraordinary experience. For one evening, you can step into the role of a Gault&Millau inspector and discover how restaurants are evaluated. You'll experience flavour, technique, service and atmosphere through the eyes of our anonymous inspectors – and perhaps discover that evaluating outstanding gastronomy can be just as fascinating as tasting it. If you want to experience one of the highlights of this year's Gault&Millau Exclusive Dinner Regional Tour, 2 September at Mlýnec is an evening not to be missed. Tickets for this exclusive, one-night-only experience are available HERE.

Discover the Best of Czech Gastronomy
The inaugural Gault&Millau Exclusive Dinner Regional Tour 2026 brings together 10 top chefs and restaurants for a series of exceptional SIGNATURE DISH DINNERS, each featuring a tasting menu created exclusively for the occasion.

Tasting Menu based on Signature Dishes
Today's restaurant scene constantly demands new menus and ever-changing creations. In the pursuit of innovation, however, chefs often leave behind the dishes that truly define them—the plates that embody their personality, craftsmanship, and culinary philosophy.
For this exclusive evening, Restaurant Mlýnec returns to those culinary treasures. Together, we have created a tasting menu celebrating the restaurant's most iconic Signature Dishes—the creations that have become part of its identity and unquestionably deserve a place in its Hall of Fame.
Mlýnec Restaurant
Mlýnec Restaurant is a place where the magic of Prague meets gastronomy at the highest level. Its exceptional location right next to Charles Bridge creates a truly unique atmosphere – views of the river and Prague's historic skyline provide the perfect backdrop for an extraordinary dining experience in a stylish interior inspired by the dynamic movement of the water. A beautiful setting, outstanding food, meticulous attention to every detail and the professional approach of the entire Mlýnec team make every visit an experience you will want to return to time and again.
Mlýnec has been a shining star of Prague's gastronomic scene for decades.

Chef Láďa Vaníček and his team
Láďa Vaníček has been part of Mlýnec since 2014. His cooking is rooted in honest craftsmanship, respect for ingredients and an attention to detail that is evident on every plate. He enjoys exploring new combinations, working with exceptional ingredients and bringing out their fullest flavour.
A zero-waste approach and close collaboration with Czech farmers and local producers are a natural part of his culinary philosophy, providing a strong foundation for his cuisine.
Together with his team, he brings forgotten Czech specialities back to life. While respecting traditional techniques, he is not afraid to embrace the latest culinary methods in pursuit of exceptional flavour. The result is timeless and elegant Czech and international cuisine built around seasonal, locally sourced ingredients.
