🌿 SPRING ON A PLATE: WHEN NATURE AWAKENS, SO DOES TASTE
Winter is slowly departing, the days are lengthening, the sun has strength and nature is breathing anew.
And precisely at that moment, a season arrives that we love not only outdoors but also on our plates.
Jaro.
A time of freshness, lightness and new beginnings.
A time when our taste buds awaken, just like nature all around us.
And that is exactly what we wanted to bring to our new menu at the Stodola Restaurant.
Under the guidance of Head Chef Petr Kudláč, a menu has been created that focuses on seasonality, freshness, and bold yet natural flavours.
Spring plays host to the best spring has to offer - vegetables, lightness and above all Wild garlic.
🌱 WILD GARLIC – THE KING OF SPRING
If there's one ingredient that defines spring cuisine, it's wild garlic.
It's milder than classic garlic, but at the same time distinctive enough to give food character.
It adds freshness, a green colour and a feeling that you are eating something truly alive.
It has become one of the main cornerstones of the new menu in our kitchen.
You'll find it in sauces, creams, and as a subtle addition that can transform an entire dish.
A start that will set you up
The meal begins with the first bite.
Duck pâté with port wine cranberry reduction is exactly the starter to set the mood for the whole experience.
Subtlety, a sweet and sour contrast, and a flavour that draws you in.
Creamy risotto that tastes like spring
Creamy, smooth, perfectly balanced.
Risotto with wild garlic and roasted cherry tomatoes is exactly the dish that captures spring on a plate.
Lightness, freshness, and yet plenty of flavour to satisfy you.
MASO variation – Sous-vide chicken steak
VEGE Variation – Grilled Halloumi Cheese
Every bite is a combination of the mildness and fresh acidity of the tomatoes, which beautifully enlivens the whole dish.
Salmon that lets its natural flavour shine
January isn't about heavy meals.
It's about simplicity that stands out.
Baked salmon in butter with spring vegetables and a delicate beurre blanc sauce is proof that less is sometimes more.
Juicy, tender and full of flavour.
Food that doesn't play at complexity, but at quality.
Freshness you can taste from the first bite
With the arrival of spring, so do our expectations of food change.
We want lightness.
We want freshness.
We want food that makes us feel good.
And that's exactly what our spring take on a classic brings – Caesar salad with pancetta, succulent chicken, and a creamy dressing.
A combination of crispness, juiciness, and a distinct flavour that won't overwhelm you, yet will satisfy.
Honesty can be refreshing
Just because doesn't mean we'll give up honest food.
We'll just give them a new dimension.
The Burger with Blaťák Gold, accompanied by wild garlic dip and caramelised onion, is precisely the type of dish that combines strength and freshness.
Still honest.
Still prominent.
But with a spring signature.
A TASTE THAT TRANSGENDS SEASONS
And then there are the dishes that will always be here.
Let's just push them a bit further.
A mature rib-eye steak with spinach and nettle emulsion and demi-glace combines the power of the meat with the lightness of spring tones.
Full-bodied, juicy, yet still balanced.
A sweet treat that makes sense
And in conclusion?
Chocolate fondant.
A classic that never gets old.
Or as in the picture according to the current offer?
In this case, Panna Cotta with fruit
Because even spring needs a sweet finish.
🌿 A taste you must try
This menu isn't just about food.
It is the period we are in.
The energy that returns.
A taste of starting again.
And that's exactly what we wanted to bring to the plate.
Come and taste spring with us at the Stodola.
We look forward to seeing you 💛 Perhaps in our garden
