With Ro\u0161\u2019s self-taught approach and deep commitment to local, seasonal ingredients, Hi\u0161a Franko has become synonymous with Slovenian innovation on the global culinary stage. However, the recently announced 2025 extended 51\u2013100 list reveals that Hi\u0161a Franko has dropped out of the top 50, landing at No. 69. This significant shift raises the question: is Ana Ro\u0161 truly no longer among the world\u2019s 50 best restaurants? In this article, we\u2019ll explore her journey, Hi\u0161a Franko\u2019s past rankings, the factors behind the 2025 results, and what this means for Ro\u0161 and Slovenia\u2019s culinary identity.<\/strong><\/p><hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Ana Ro\u0161 and Hi\u0161a Franko: From Local Gem to International Acclaim<\/strong><\/h2><p>Ana Ro\u0161 was born in 1972 in \u0160empeter pri Gorici, then part of Yugoslavia, and initially pursued diplomacy. After completing her studies in international relations in Trieste, she returned to Slovenia and took over the family-run establishment Hi\u0161a Franko in Kobarid alongside her then-partner Valter Kramar. Despite having no formal culinary training, Ro\u0161 taught herself to cook, drawing inspiration from traditional recipes of the Upper So\u010da Valley and local farming practices. Her approach\u2014\u201ctechnical, almost scientific,\u201d as she describes it\u2014focuses on reimagining heritage dishes with modern techniques, often emphasizing raw vegetables and hyper-local ingredients sourced within a few kilometers of the restaurant.<\/p><p>Ro\u0161 first garnered global attention when she was featured in the 2016 Netflix documentary Chef\u2019s Table, which showcased her inventive, terroir-driven cuisine. In early 2017, The World\u2019s 50 Best Restaurants academy named her the World\u2019s Best Female Chef, cementing her status as a leading figure in contemporary gastronomy. Under her leadership, Hi\u0161a Franko quickly ascended in the rankings: it debuted on the World\u2019s 50 Best list in 2017 and continued to climb.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-22.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"566\" data-src=\"https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-22.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-177550 lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 400px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 400\/566;width:671px;height:auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-22.png 400w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-22-212x300.png 212w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-22-297x420.png 297w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-22-150x212.png 150w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-22-300x425.png 300w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"566\" src=\"https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-22.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-177550\" style=\"width:671px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-22.png 400w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-22-212x300.png 212w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-22-297x420.png 297w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-22-150x212.png 150w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-22-300x425.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">the worlds best restaurants 2025<\/figcaption><\/figure><div class=\"vlp-link-container vlp-layout-basic wp-block-visual-link-preview-link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/en\/best-restaurants-in-ljubljana\/pops-pizza-from-ljubljana-slovenia-makes-it-to-the-top-50-list-of-the-best-pizzerias-in-europe\/\" class=\"vlp-link\" title=\"Pop&#039;s Pizza from Ljubljana, Slovenia makes it to the top 50 list of the best pizzerias in Europe\"><\/a><div class=\"vlp-layout-zone-side\"><div class=\"vlp-block-2 vlp-link-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 150px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 150\/150;max-width: 150px;\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" data-src=\"https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/popspizza.jpg\" class=\"attachment-150x999 size-150x999 lazyload\" alt=\"\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/popspizza.jpg 224w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/popspizza-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/popspizza-100x100.jpg 100w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"max-width: 150px;\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/popspizza.jpg\" class=\"attachment-150x999 size-150x999\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/popspizza.jpg 224w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/popspizza-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/popspizza-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/noscript><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vlp-layout-zone-main\"><div class=\"vlp-block-0 vlp-link-title\">Pop&#8217;s Pizza from Ljubljana, Slovenia makes it to the top 50 list of the best pizzerias in Europe<\/div><div class=\"vlp-block-1 vlp-link-summary\">Best Pizza in Europe 2025: Ljubljana\u2019s Pop\u2019s Pizza Among the Top Again In early June, the list of the best pizzerias in Europe outside of Italy was announced in Madrid \u2013 and once again, a Slovenian favorite made the cut.

The extended list, which ranks restaurants from No. 51 to No. 100, is determined by votes from 1,120 independent culinary experts, including renowned chefs, food writers, and experienced gastronomes.<\/p><p>In this 2025 ranking, Hi\u0161a Franko landed at No. 69. Specifically, the RestaurantNews.com recap details:<\/p><blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cElsewhere in Europe the following restaurants secure a spot: Schloss Schauenstein (No. 52) in F\u00fcrstenau, Switzerland; Hi\u0161a Franko (No. 69) in Kobarid, Slovenia; Le Doyenn\u00e9 (No. 77) in Saint-Vrain, France; and Neolokal (No. 100) in Istanbul.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.restaurantnews.com\/the-worlds-50-best-restaurants-announces-the-51-100-list-for-2025-060525\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">restaurantnews.com<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote><p>This placement means that Hi\u0161a Franko is no longer among the world\u2019s top 50 restaurants and has moved into the extended ranking bracket. Notably, this marks the first time since 2017 that Ana Ro\u0161\u2019s restaurant has fallen outside the top 50.<\/p><hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Factors Contributing to Hi\u0161a Franko\u2019s Drop<\/strong><\/h2><p>Several interconnected factors likely contributed to Hi\u0161a Franko\u2019s descent from No. 48 in 2024 to No. 69 in 2025:<\/p><ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Increased Global Competition<\/strong><br>The 2025 extended list features 12 new entries from cities as diverse as S\u00e3o Paulo, San Francisco, Macau, and Tulum. As global gastronomy recovers from pandemic-related disruptions, many restaurants are re-emerging or debuting with reinvigorated concepts. These include Arca (Tulum, No. 67), Masque (Mumbai, No. 68), and Tuju (S\u00e3o Paulo, No. 70), among others. The arrival of such fresh contenders naturally creates upward pressure across the rankings, pushing previously top-tier establishments downward.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Evolving Voter Perspectives<\/strong><br>The World\u2019s 50 Best Academy comprises 1,120 members divided into 28 global regions. Voter preferences can shift based on trends\u2014such as heightened interest in sustainability, local ingredients, or experiential dining. Although Hi\u0161a Franko is celebrated for its sustainable practices (including a mixology lab with local herbs, on-site Tolminc cheese aging, and biodynamic wine cellar), new restaurants have emerged with equally or even more compelling sustainability narratives. For instance, La Colombe (Cape Town, No. 55) and Bundjalung chef Mindy Woods (Champion of Change, 2025) highlight the ongoing emphasis on community-driven approaches.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Relative Decline in Visibility or Novelty<\/strong><br>Hi\u0161a Franko has consistently been a pillar of Slovenian gastronomy, but after several years of recognition, a natural \u201cfade\u201d in newcomer allure can affect its standing. Diners and critics often crave novelty: new techniques, unusual tasting experiences, or emerging regional trends. While Ro\u0161 has continued to innovate (e.g., her \u201c50 Shades of Red\u201d tasting menu), the market\u2019s evolving palate might have momentarily tilted attention toward restaurants pushing entirely new boundaries.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Regional Shifts and Representation<\/strong><br>Historically, European restaurants have dominated The World\u2019s 50 Best list. In 2025, Europe still had 20 restaurants in the extended bracket, including multiple from Germany, Spain, Belgium, and the UK. Hisa Franko\u2019s drop to No. 69 may reflect increased European representation in the mid-ranking slots, tightening competition for top places.<\/li><\/ol><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-23.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-src=\"https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-23-1024x768.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-177552 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-23-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-23-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-23-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-23-560x420.png 560w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-23-80x60.png 80w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-23-150x113.png 150w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-23-696x522.png 696w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-23-1068x801.png 1068w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-23-265x198.png 265w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-23-600x450.png 600w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-23.png 1280w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/768;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-23-1024x768.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-177552\" srcset=\"https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-23-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-23-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-23-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-23-560x420.png 560w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-23-80x60.png 80w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-23-150x113.png 150w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-23-696x522.png 696w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-23-1068x801.png 1068w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-23-265x198.png 265w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-23-600x450.png 600w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-23.png 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ana Ro\u0161 restaurant<\/figcaption><\/figure><hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Contextualizing the 2025 Outcome for Ana Ro\u0161<\/strong><\/h2><p>Although Hi\u0161a Franko\u2019s descent outside of the top 50 may appear jarring, it\u2019s important to interpret this change within the broader context:<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Continued Recognition<\/strong><br>Despite falling to No. 69, Hi\u0161a Franko remains on The World\u2019s 50 Best Restaurants list, albeit extended.

The fact that Hi\u0161a Franko has consistently held a spot among the world\u2019s top 50 for eight consecutive years (2017\u20132024) underscores its resilience.
