Papilio

Michelin Two-Star Restaurant

Jan Knedla orchestrates a symphony of Czech heritage and French technical precision within the vaulted elegance of a former château stable. His philosophy centers on an unwavering devotion to local sourcing, where forest game and garden apricots resonate with seasonal clarity. The tasting journey begins with a delicate zander canapé, where the fish’s clean minerality is elevated by the saline pop of premium caviar. A standout guinea fowl, meticulously aged in koji to achieve a profound depth of flavor, arrives with a succulent, lacquered skin that yields to tender, aromatic meat. Texture plays a central role in the ravioli, which is filled with a rich cow horn cheese and ricotta blend, then finished with a velvety chestnut purée and the earthy perfume of shaved white truffles. The meal culminates in a sophisticated cheese selection, featuring a pungent Roquefort Carles and a creamy Brie infused with black truffle, ensuring every plate reflects a fanatical devotion to the craft.
