Gastronomy is the study or art of the relationship between culture and food. It is often thought that the term gastronomy refers to „both of them”.
„Gastronomy is intelligent knowledge of all that is connected with nourishment” – wrote Anthelme Brillat-Savarin, a gastro-philosopher living 200 years ago.
Our chef studied gastronomy at famous Gundel Restaurant and practised it in many countries in the world. He prepares delicious but healthy food by using modern kitchen technology.
