HIŠA DENK
Gregor Vračko‘s Hiša Denk should be a permanent fixture on the gastronomic bucket list of any self-respecting foodie visiting Slovenia. The famed chef has a much deserved reputation for being quite an eccentric – both in and out of the kitchen – and a culinary curriculum vitae that few in the country can rival.
GOSTILNA DVOR JEZERŠEK
Generally when a restaurant is awarded a title such as ‘Taste Slovenia – Culinary Centre’, you can be sure that what you will find within will tickle each and every taste bud. A Slovenian restaurant in the little village of Cerklje na Gorenjskem has taken the culinary traditions and created something excellent.
HIŠA FRANKO
In recent years, word has well and truly got out about Hiša Franko in Kobarid. Chef Ana Roš was named the world‘s best female chef, while the restaurant made it onto the list of world‘ s 100 best and also claimed the title of Top 3 Restaurant at the inaugural The Slovenia Restaurant Awards.
GOSTILNA KRIŠTOF
Found in the village of Predoslje, north of Kranj, Krištof combines rural ambience and charm with modern Slovenian cuisine, and the family that runs the place has been in the catering business for more than 700 years, so you can rest assured that you‘re in good hands.
GOSTILNA PRI LOJZETU – DVOREC ZEMONO
Housed in Dvorec Zemono, an exquisite 17th-century Palladian manor perched on a hill in the Vipava Valley, Gostilna Pri Lojzetu is perennially named as one of Slovenia‘s finest culinary experiences, with chef Tomaž Kavčič known for his take on Slow Food and innovative approaches to traditional cuisine.
GOSTILNA RAJH
Located in the village of Bakovci, where our grandfather just happens to have been born, we‘ll always have a soft spot for the wonderful Gostilna Rajh. Now run by the fourth generation of the Rajh family, both traditional and modern Prekmurje cuisine is served up in a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere.

GOSTILNA REPOVŽ
Founded by a noble family from France in the 17th century, the Repovž Estate in Šentjanž includes a restaurant, guesthouse and organic cooperative market. While it may defy conventional categorisation, it does have a sterling reputation and more than 300 years of tradition to recommend it.
JB RESTAVRACIJA
After more than 25 years in the business, Ljubljana‘s JB is firmly entrenched as one of the best restaurants in Slovenia, with the fine dining experience coming courtesy of founder and multiple award-winning head chef, Janez Bratovž (hence the name).
VILA PODVIN
Set in a beautifully restored 14th-century castle some 2km east of Radovljica, Vila Podvin‘s kitchen is run by one of Slovenia‘s top chefs, Uroš Štefelin, who is renowned for transforming traditional Slovene cuisine using modern culinary techniques, preparing unique dishes with local ingredients and ample creativity.
RESTAVRACIJA STRELEC
This award-winning restaurant at Ljubljana Castle overlooks the city from a grand position. The menu was created with the help of top ethnology professor Dr. Janez Bogataj, while historically reminiscent yet modern dishes are crafted with ingredients from Ljubljana‘ s famed market by chef Igor Jagodic.
