Benada Restaurant

The best restaurant in Liberec. The luxurious interior in the art nouveau style awakens the former well-deserved fame of the hotel, the top professional level of the staff has no competition in the city. And, of course, excellent cuisine, which with its focus on nothing, just wants to be great, and it succeeds. Lunch in this quiet environment is a small holiday for me! It just has a level.

We were in the Benada restaurant at the Grand Hotel Zlatý Lev several times because we were given the opportunity to use the vouchers offered by our bank. From the outside, the hotel attracted us - a beautiful renovated building from the beginning of the twentieth century - less from the inside. Cool because of the little flooded, uncomfortable interior. Kitchen very erratic. Meals well presented, made from quality ingredients, but some combinations or procedures of the cook were quite incomprehensible to incomprehensible. For example, fried coconut-coated ice cream served in a casserole came to the table completely melted in a baked, soaked inedible container - we returned. To chocolate Mousse, sugar is a kind of decoration that I hurt in my mouth. The other dessert we tasted, the Panna Cotta strawberry, was served, in a mint Pesto card, in fact a bit of mixed mint in thin, sweet, nut-free oil, which in combination with fresh strawberry was directly repulsive. The chef completely destroyed the excellent Panna Cotta and fresh strawberry in January. Beef sirloin, in the Beef sirloin in cream card, is served with back beef, as I would rather expect in a restaurant of lower price category and not in the Grand Hotel, where they are tempted for gastronomic experiences. In the card they should write the truth of what they cook. Also, the use of the voucher was, thanks to the reaction of the staff, a rather unpleasant experience for us. The voucher must be announced in advance, so the staff knows we will apply a discount. I do not know whether by chance, I will believe it, even wanted to save Mr. Chef. Cherry tomatoes were supposed to be served in the Beef Carpaccio appetizer, but they were missing and they gave us an apology when we applied for them. When paying us instead of the discount, the chief told us that our vouchers (it was 200 CZK) are said to be invalid, that they are not signed. We felt as if we had come to rob them, really very unpleasant. We were forced to pay the bill saying that we should make a remedy with the voucher provider. When I contacted the voucher provider, I was told that they had made a mistake in Benada and that they would contact me from the hotel as to how we would apply the discount. Nobody came back and only after a few urges, when I had to hear excuses like the guests were robbing them, the waiters had to pay for them, etc., after three weeks, when I didn't really come to rob them and refused to give up, they sent us a voucher value. So we came to the Grand Hotel Zlaty Lev in Liberec to enjoy the saying "I do not want a discount for free" and I'm not sure if we would like to go again sometime next time. Finally, for objectivity I must say that we also tasted really tasty dishes, such as Confit veal cheeks in red wine, sirloin, though from the back beef and fresh salads, or fish served in the lunch menu.

I have been to the restaurant so far and have been completely satisfied. On the last visit, however, they brought us food incredibly salty. It was so incredibly salty that no one could taste the food before serving it. In addition, the sauce created only that soy sauce quite surprised us. To the honor of the operator, when she discovered the problem, she began to solve it and offered us the preparation of a new meal. Unfortunately, we hurried and could not wait. The staff apologized and refused to accept payment for consumption that was fine (soup, drinks). Unfortunately the kitchen that day was appalling.

They have really delicious food. The attendant was attentive.
