The Gunners goalkeeper, who will retire at the end of the season, has been impressed by Arsenal Women's success this term.
Joe Montemurro's side have a great chance of catching current Women's Super League leaders Manchester City Women with just two points between them and two games in hand.
In addition to a potential league title, they are preparing for a seventh Women Super League Cup final in eight years this weekend against City.
And Cech showed his geneorisity in the build-up by paying for the entire bill at London restaurant Sushi Samba.
Dutch midfielder Danielle van de Donk shared pictures of the meal, revealing Cech had kept his word, suggesting the veteran shot-stopper had promised the meal previously.
"Had to ask him to sit down for this picture," she said. "I had such a good night with everyone.
"Especially with Petr Cech #manofhisword #thankyou #sushisamba #arsenal."
Cech is preparing for the Gunners' Europa League clash with BATE.
The Gunners have a 1-0 deficit to erase in the second leg at the Emirates to reach the last 16.
