Almost a year after the opening of the boutique hotel in Jezersko, Vila Planinka’s restaurant is also now open for business. The guests of honor at the grand opening dinner were the stars of the British dance show Strictly Come Dancing<\/em> Alja\u017e \u0160korjanec and Janette Manrara, who, in their first visit last year, fell in love with the staff’s approach and philosophy of Vila Planinka and have become their regular guests.<\/h2>

The opening of the restaurant for “external” guests is a long-awaited response to the high demand for lovers of fine cuisine. “We have been intensively preparing the culinary story that we are experiencing today for one year<\/em>,” said owner Marjan Batagelj at the opening. \u201cNot only an excellent chef and sommelier are enough for high-quality cuisine! There is no high-quality cuisine without high-quality local ingredients and the finest selection of Slovenian wines!<\/em> “<\/p>

That is why they rely on local food producers at the Vila Planinka restaurant and adapt their menu to the season. Commitment to sustainability is a part of the story we write, our opening guests were introduced to this motto through the culinary “Symphony in the Seven Acts<\/em>“, as chef Jakob Jerala named it.<\/p>

\u201cFeeling is energy. And let this energy accompany you with your food,<\/em> \u201dwished Batagelj to his guests. Batagelj also believes that the energy points, which were discovered by the locals in the garden of Vila Planinka centuries ago has a positive effect on the guests’ experience.<\/p>
