Dining at the Spa & Wellness Hotel Zámek Lužec

One of the highlights of the hotel is the 15th century Medieval Pub serving specialty dishes cooked in the Tandoor oven which is a traditional clay oven, that has a sort of beehive shape to concentrate the heat.

The meats are cooked on skewers by either being inserted directly in the oven or over the mouth. We tried the fantastic mixed meat platter with tender chicken, beef and lamb, served on top of a flatbread which is cooked on the side of the oven, accompanied by grilled vegetables such as tomatoes, bell peppers, eggplants and a whole onion and garlic.

The restaurant features both indoor and outdoor seating, as well as a line of outdoor gazebos.
