Zikmundov Restaurant

One house, a shared table and food rooted in the surrounding landscape.

Tables and flavours from our original journal

We preserve our memories and earlier editorial recommendations in their original context. These are not additional profiles with newly checked sources; regional dishes and several experiences in one house do not count as separate addresses.

Lago di Garda

Garda tastes different on every shore. Sport and wind in the north, long aperitivo in the south and lake fish in the west. Lido 84 remains one of our most memorable dinners, but its final service took place on 22 March 2026 — we keep it here as a memory, not a booking recommendation.

Our complete VIVERE and Garda story →

The Beskydy

The Beskydy can do a simple poussin at a shared table and a dinner in which every course resembles a little landscape. Cattaleya is our choice for an occasion, Petr’s table at Mezi Plůtky for closeness and stories, and Kovárna for an unhurried morning.

  • Cattaleya · Grand dinner

    Book ahead; menus and opening days change.

    Official website ↗
  • Petr’s table · Dinner with the hosts

    Simple food, a shared evening and the fire. Arrange it with your stay.

    Our story ↗
  • Miura · Hotel dining

    Art, a view and a restaurant that belongs to the whole day.

    Official website ↗
  • Kovárna · Breakfast

    Eggs, coffee and an informal beginning to a day outside.

    Current information ↗
The Beskydy in our story →

South Tyrol

South Tyrol proves that one cuisine can speak both Italian and German. Luna in Bolzano means breakfast and Pornstar Martini to us, Sissi means a playful grand evening, and Leiter am Waal means timber, white linen and a valley view.

  • Sissi · Fine dining

    Andrea Fenoglio, personal service and dinner as an occasion.

    Official website ↗
  • Luna Restaurant & Bar · All day

    Breakfast, Italian classics and our favourite drink beneath palms.

    Official website ↗
  • Leiter am Waal · Stube and a view

    Our favourite timber stube, white linen and a view across the valley.

  • Miramonti Panorama · Hotel dinner

    It remains in our Miramonti guide; always check the current concept.

Tuscany

Tuscany needs no effects. At Follonico, fresh bread, the farm’s honey and olive oil, and Fabio’s dinner are enough. When we want town and ceremony, we head for Montepulciano — Porta di Bacco or L’Altro Cantuccio — and let the season decide the rest.

  • Fabio’s table · Dinner at home

    Several evenings a week, depending on your stay and arrangement with the hosts.

    Our story ↗
  • Porta di Bacco · Osteria

    Our favourite address for steak, wine and an evening in town.

    In our guide ↗
  • L’Altro Cantuccio · Contemporary Tuscany

    A more artful, ceremonial tasting menu.

    Official website ↗
  • Il Pellicano · Grand occasion

    Sea, service and dinner that belongs to the whole stay.

Umbria

At Moravola, the kitchen is not separate from the stay. Morning begins on the East Terrace, dinner follows the season and nearby produce, and a glass of wine belongs to the last light over the valley. When we want to join the world again, we descend to Montone — a little town capable of feeling both intimate and festive.

  • Moravola kitchen · Dinner by arrangement

    Local seasonal menus, produce from the garden and small family wineries. Arrange dinner with your stay.

    Moravola kitchen ↗
  • East Terrace · Breakfast

    A table facing the valley. One of those moments when the best plan is to remain seated a little longer.

  • L’Antica Osteria · Umbrian cooking

    An address in historic Montone for regional flavours; check the current menu and opening days before setting out.

    Official website ↗
  • Festa del Bosco · Autumn flavours

    Chestnuts, truffles, olive oil and local makers during the town festival. Dates change each year.

Moravola and the flavours of Umbria →

Chřiby & South Moravia

At Zikmundov, food is not a service detached from the house. It belongs to the shared table, conversation with the hosts and an evening that naturally moves towards the fire or wine lounge. Beyond the door, South Moravia adds vineyards and more good reasons not to hurry.

  • The shared table · Dinner in the house

    Food belongs to the stay and the spirit of the place. Arrange the current possibilities directly with the hosts.

    Our story ↗
  • The open kitchen · Close to the action

    A place where cooking, scent and conversation around the worktop matter equally.

    Inside Zikmundov ↗
  • The wine lounge · An evening glass

    For a glass after returning from the Chřiby hills, or as the beginning of a slow Moravian evening.

    Complete story ↗
  • The Blue Mountains · Wine and a day out

    Treat the vineyards as a day’s journey, not a hurried stop. Plan tastings only after the bicycle or car is safely put away.

Puglia

Puglian cooking grows from simple things, yet it is never simplistic. We remember Palazzo Daniele through long breakfasts and dinner in the open kitchen, and Masseria Moroseta as a place where its own olive oil and garden are never decoration. The rest belongs to orecchiette, vegetables, fish and whatever the season has brought.

  • The table at Palazzo Daniele · Breakfast and dinner

    Our experience: a long morning, open kitchen and a house where food belongs to both architecture and hospitality.

    Official website ↗
  • Masseria Moroseta kitchen · Masseria and garden

    Cooking rooted in the region and the farm's organic olive oil. Confirm the current dinner arrangements with your stay.

    Official website ↗
  • Orecchiette · Puglian classic

    Pasta with cime di rapa, tomatoes or seasonal vegetables. Look for a short menu and fresh production, rather than the longest menu on the square.

    In our guide ↗
  • Pasticciotto & caffè leccese · A sweet morning

    Warm custard-filled pastry and iced coffee with almond syrup — reason enough to keep the hotel breakfast a little shorter for once.

    Puglia our way ↗
Puglia — coast, houses and table →

Piedmont

We are not yet closing Piedmont into a list of exact hotels or restaurants. First we want to capture its flavour: fine tajarin, vitello tonnato, seasonal truffles, cheese, hazelnuts and wines from villages whose names read like a map.

  • Tajarin · First course

    Fine egg pasta, often with ragù, butter or truffle. A simple plate reveals the quality of a kitchen better than any performance.

    In our guide ↗
  • Vitello tonnato · Classic

    Cold veal and tuna sauce sound simple; a fine version is delicate, precise and disappears faster than the next day's plan.

    Piedmont our way ↗
  • Nebbiolo and Barolo · Wine and landscape

    Choose one winery and allow time. Book ahead and plan the tasting after your ride, once the bicycle is put away.

    A journey among vines ↗
  • Nocciola Piemonte · Dessert and ingredient

    The hazelnut matters almost as much as wine — in torte di nocciole, gianduiotti and small desserts at the end of a long lunch.

Emilia

Limonaia is our personally experienced Roncolo table. Modena and Parma add researched tips for Michelin evenings, traditional lunches and food at the market.

Lido 84 is an archived memory, not a current booking recommendation.

A good recommendation
comes with context.

Personally experienced refers to stays and experiences documented in our stories. On our radar means an editorial recommendation we have not yet visited ourselves. A beautiful photograph does not prove we have been to a particular restaurant.

New recommendations include sources and a check date. Opening hours, availability and conditions change; confirm bookings directly. A suggested day plan is not necessarily a surveyed walking route. Our regional photographs show real places from our travels, rather than the new venues we have yet to visit.
