Tavern of the Two Maries — Restaurant in okres Český Krumlov

This is the place for try some local Bohemian food! Its located just around 5 mins or less of a walk from the Castle in a small alley way. There is a vegetarian restaurant right next to this called Laibon which I would highly recommend for vegetarians. But if you are a crowd of veg and Non veg eaters then this place is the place to be!

You have a veg bohemian platter which we tried. My friends who were non vegetarians had the non veg bohemian platters one of them a rabbit platter and another a pheasant platter. A great place to understand what the locals eat and what people several years ago ate.. It was a good food journey. Portion sizes are good so if you are a light eater, you may want to share the meal. We also tried some local drink of south bohemian mead which was like mulled wine but comes in different flavours. We had one of every flavour on the menu and Eggenberg beer between the 4 of us.

In terms of ambience, you can sit by the river on wooden benches in the summer,, there is also some seating upstairs. The toilets are also upstairs so it can get a little smelly if the place gets busy. When we visited it was quite packed and there were no spaces downstairs so we had to go upstairs into a wooden room.. It was fine at first but got a little stinky towards as the night went by. The room in itself was cosy and there was no one else there so we sort of had the whole room and it was quite like having a private dinner which in a way was fun.

My advice arrive early for dinner, find a place in the open air by the river so you can enjoy the little village by night. By the way for desserts we had a Czech cake another local dessert the name of which I forgot but it was pretty much the same Czech cake dipped in a blueberry sauce. I wouldn't say the desserts were stellar but I guess that's the way the bohemian's ate.. I cant really have a take on how great it was cos this was the first time I was having these desserts and didn't really have anything to compare it with. Was ok but not the best cake I have had.

In terms of service. They were friendly, prompt on taking orders and patient at explaining what was in the dishes when asked. Not everyone here understands English as its not their native language so speak slowly and be patient.

Don't expect parking etc at the restaurant. Remember Cesky is a small village and you can literally walk to all the places by foot. That's the best way to...

I felt the need to write a review, mainly because some that I've read almost made me not go to this restaurant. In the end I am glad I decided to check it out. A small, cozy place with a view of the river. The closest tables to the river were full, but I could still enjoy the view from a further placed table. The waiter and waitress were both friendly, even though they were busy. Some people don't understand how exhausting this job can be, so please, don't find it "rude" when the waiters don't smile at you, that's the least of their worries next to all the orders to take and deliver. In my opinion they were polite, spoke English and/or German and were quick to deliver my order. As a picky eater I am proud to say, there was nothing that I didn't like in my food. I ordered the guláš and as dessert the žahour and enjoyed every bite. (After the žahour I do recommend checking between your teeth for blueberry seeds ;)) The restaurant itself gives the perfect rustic vibes I was looking for. The toilets were clean and there were hygiene products provided in the women's restroom, which I find very considerate. I can only recommend this restaurant; despite it being small, it met all my expectations. Thank you for reading all this, hope you decide to visit and enjoy it as...

Walking into this tavern felt like stepping into a medieval Czech storybook. The décor leans heavily into rustic, old-world charm — wooden beams, candlelight, and local art — and there’s a warm, welcoming energy that pulls you in. The riverside location with castle views is a bonus.

We went for the Old Bohemian Feast platter and it was a memorable experience: chicken and rabbit paired with millet, potato cake, dumplings, potatoes, and salad. I also tried the trout with wine, rosemary, and potatoes, which was fragrant and perfectly cooked, plus a hearty cabbage soup with potatoes that felt like pure comfort food. The dishes are hearty, rustic, and give you a real taste of old Czech cooking traditions.

Service was overall good — the staff were welcoming. A couple of tips: it’s smart to reserve a table, and bring cash because it's their preferred payment.

If you want to experience authentic medieval-style Czech dining with generous portions and a unique atmosphere, this tavern is definitely worth a stop in...
