Fodor's Expert Review U Jelena
Editor's Note: This property is currently undergoing renovations.
The pleasant riverside setting and the hearty hunting theme—as well as proximity to the castle itself—are the main draws here, while the food, from the familiar svíčková (slices of beef loin in cream sauce) to more elaborate dishes like venison steak with Cumberland sauce, is decent if unspectacular. If you'd like to stay overnight, there are a few rooms upstairs, outfitted simply but with a cozy feeling thanks to wooden furnishings and pleasant lighting. Most have good views of the woodsy surroundings, and there's a lovely terrace that overlooks the river as well.
