We enjoy helping
9th Edition
The culinary competition "Helping Tastes Good" returns to Liptovský dvor after a year. It's not just about the gastronomic experience provided by excellent Slovak chefs, but primarily about helping others. It's about helping those whose lives have been complicated by serious illness. The proceeds from the tasting menus, prepared and served by these chefs, will go directly to them. Guests will decide which menu to support and with what financial contribution.
Who do we help?
The proceeds from the dishes will go to help the family of Martin Tekeljak, our chef, and also to the civic association Svetielko nádeje.
Martin “Teky” Tekeljak, our friend, colleague, and chef, underwent a challenging operation in September during which two brain tumors were removed.
However, he still faces another operation and is certainly not giving up his fight for health. We want to help him in this, expressing our support not only with words but also with actions.
The second half of the proceeds will traditionally go to the civic association Svetielko nádeje in Banská Bystrica, which has been operating for 23 years and focuses on improving the lives of children with oncological or other serious illnesses and their families, in cooperation with the Children's Faculty Hospital with Polyclinic in Banská Bystrica, specifically with the Clinic of Pediatric Oncology and Hematology.
The entire evening, enriched with a cultural program, will be hosted by Milan „Junior“ Zimnýkoval, who will ensure a pleasant atmosphere.
The tasting will be complemented by quality wines from Jozef Repa - RepaWinery family winery in cooperation with our partner, Best Wines Distribution, led by sommelier Vladimír Mészáros.
For this help to be realized, and for this evening full of emotions, first-class gastronomy, competition, but also humor and friendly gatherings to have meaning, the guests who visit us at Liptovský dvor are important.
Therefore, we cordially invite you on November 29, 2025, at 5:00 PM to our Liptovský dvor Barn.
Entry to this event is free, and you will decide how much we help through your financial contributions directly at the venue.

"Beautiful environment of Jánska valley. Accommodation and restaurant in folk style represents Liptov and the environment in which it is located. The silence is interrupted only by the wind in the treetops. The place is perfect for relaxation, holidays and family celebrations."
