Kutná Hora may be best known for its historical landmarks, but it also offers a delightful taste of traditional Czech cuisine. In the town’s cozy restaurants and rustic pubs, visitors can sample hearty dishes that reflect the country’s agricultural roots and rich culinary traditions. Expect meals centered around meats, potatoes, root vegetables, and classic sauces, often paired with freshly baked bread or dumplings.

A popular local favorite is svíčková na smetaně, marinated beef sirloin served with a creamy vegetable sauce and bread dumplings, topped with a dollop of cream and cranberry sauce. Other staples include guláš (Czech goulash), usually made with beef and served with dumplings or dark bread, and vepřo knedlo zelo—a comforting plate of roast pork with sauerkraut and dumplings. Vegetarian options are becoming more available, but traditional Czech food tends to be meat-focused.

Don’t miss trying locally brewed beer, which is a point of pride in the Czech Republic. Some restaurants in Kutná Hora serve regional beers from nearby microbreweries, offering the perfect complement to a rich Czech meal. For dessert, try koláče, sweet pastries filled with fruit or cheese, or apple strudel, often served warm with whipped cream.

Dining in Kutná Hora often comes with a side of history—many eateries are located in centuries-old buildings with charming interiors, vaulted ceilings, and outdoor terraces. Whether you're enjoying a casual lunch in a local tavern or a more refined dinner in a historic inn, Kutná Hora’s cuisine adds a flavorful layer to the cultural experience.
