The Signature Dish Dinner at Podhlavický Mlýn will take you to a place where outstanding gastronomy is rooted in local ingredients, honest craftsmanship and respect for nature.

Come and experience a unique evening that brings together the charm of the countryside and the very best of Czech gastronomy.

Podhlavický Mlýn welcomes you to a peaceful corner of the Český Dub region, an area rich in history, tradition and beautiful natural scenery. The original mill, dating back to the early 17th century, has been respectfully transformed into a boutique hotel and restaurant, combining the charm of its historic past with contemporary comfort. 

PM89 Restaurant offers distinctive cuisine built around high-quality ingredients, herbs and vegetables from its own garden, as well as fresh eggs from the mill's own hens. The seasonal menu evolves with the rhythms of nature, with every dish prepared with a focus on maximum freshness, sustainability and attention to detail. The dining experience is enhanced by views of the iconic mill wheel, which adds to the restaurant's unique atmosphere.

The cuisine draws inspiration from the richness of local ingredients and the traditions of Czech cooking, with every dish prepared with meticulous care. Come and discover how the connection between nature and culinary craftsmanship can create truly unforgettable moments.

Head Chef Vojtěch Barac, together with his team, has created a modern harvest-inspired menu showcasing the very best that late summer and early autumn have to offer. 

His cuisine is rooted in honest Czech culinary traditions, which he combines with French techniques, his own creativity and high-quality ingredients from the Liberec region.

The Signature Dish Dinner at Podhlavický Mlýn will be much more than another tasting dinner. It will be a celebration of the harvest, the surrounding landscape and honest craftsmanship. An evening where exceptional gastronomy comes together with the atmosphere of a place that has preserved its authentic character.

If you are looking for an experience that will delight all the senses, this stop on this year's tour is certainly not to be missed.
