"Adam Jelínek runs Český Krumlov's highest-rated table — two Gault & Millau toques of honest, local, French-leaning cooking in twenty seats."
About Le Jardin
Le Jardin is the fine-dining restaurant of the Bellevue Hotel on Latrán, in the historic core of Český Krumlov. It is the highest-rated table in town, holding two toques in the Gault & Millau guide and ranking among the best in South Bohemia. The kitchen, led by chef Adam Jelínek, cooks modern, French-leaning food with a deep respect for the region and its Czech specialities.
The dining room seats just twenty, with a 40-seat wine cellar and a summer terrace. À la carte plates run from around 415 CZK to 1,050 CZK, and a tasting menu is offered.
The Kitchen
Cooking is built on fresh, mostly local ingredients and a seasonal card. Signatures span duck rillettes (around 415 CZK) and a fillet mignon (around 1,050 CZK), plated with elegance but without fuss. The two-toque rating reflects consistency and craft rather than spectacle — this is honest fine dining, not theatre.
The Room
The room is elegant and intimate, set against the medieval streets of Krumlov; a wine cellar and summer terrace extend it. Service is polished and unhurried. For a more rustic local meal in town, compare Krčma v Šatlavské or Depo.
Best for Anniversary
With twenty seats and a wine cellar, it is built for an anniversary or a proposal — quiet, romantic and serious about the cooking.
Not for
Not for a casual, spontaneous bite or a big group — the room is tiny and formal, and the experience is paced for a slow, special evening.
