Czech and Slovak culinary traditions and gastronomy
Overview
Regional culinary traditions in the Czech Republic and Slovakia have been the focus of recent gastronomic interest. In the Czech Republic, local specialties such as Pavlišovák, jabkance, kundrfály, and sejkory maintain distinct regional identities. In Slovakia, the traditional cod salad, a staple for over 70 years, was recently ranked 98th on TasteAtlas’s list of the world’s 100 worst-rated salads, though the platform noted the ranking is based on user scores.
Efforts to evolve these traditions are underway through modern culinary projects. In the Czech Republic, the winner of the Best School Canteen competition for 2026/2027 highlighted a menu based on honest Czech cuisine using seasonal ingredients and modern methods. Similarly, in Slovakia, the METRO initiative, titled ‘Slovak Cuisine in a Modern Coat’, pairs top chefs with five specific regions to showcase local ingredients like beef, forest fruits, fish, and paprika through a modern lens.
