• Restaurant ESSENS

    ESSENS Restaurant is located in the heart of South Moravia, right in the Chateau de Frontière / Border Chateau building, part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Lednice-Valtice Complex.
    We offer our guests an eight-course tasting menu, which can be ordered in a shortened four or two course version. We are trying to source exclusively Czech and regional raw ingredients, some of which are grown on our premises.
    The aim of ESSENS Restaurant is to appeal to those customers who are looking for a gastronomic experience, who want more than just a simple meal, but also to awaken the most delicious taste buds to inspire pleasant feelings. The extraordinary gastronomic experience adds to the picturesque and peaceful environment of the castle.
    We focus most on the quality and seasonality of raw ingredients, because without good and high-quality raw ingredients, it is not possible to produce a tasty meal. We regularly search for local farmers and producers so that we can establish cooperation with them.
    We are convinced that we are doing our best to serve our diners the best possible ingredients not only sourced locally but also grown within the castle grounds.
