What a warm welcome! And what a beautiful view we had from our table which was made with bright white linen, always a feeling of luxury. Andrej made some time to welcome his guests personally and stayed in touch with all of us. I like that, as you know by now. I also liked the food, a lot! Starting with a delicious pate in a crust served in a light horseradish soup, raw trout in a very delicate combination with cucumber, perfect mushroom soup (nice traditional touch!), zander filet with a perfect ravioli followed by a plate with a rouleau of rabbit that looked a little like a serious accident happened, but tasted exactly right. Delicious lamb with Jerusalem artichoke, a fresh amuse-bouche for the dessert and the final, a dessert with blackberry. Served with mostly local wines, of course.<\/p><p>Wow! My favorite was the trout, but I have to admit that everything was made to my taste. Of course, it was not, but it could have been. <\/p><p>Every single dish was a delight, for my eyes and my tongue. This young chef learned from one of my other favourites in our neighborhood, but he definitely left the nest and knows how to fly! <\/p><p>I don\u2019t\nknow why he is not yet mentioned in the first round of the Michelin guide or\nwhy Gault Millau rates him with only 12,5 points out of 20. Too young? Not on\nhis own feet long enough yet? I can just tell you that this young guy cooked\nthe best food I had in Slovenia in months. This is a star in the making and you\nbetter go there fast, as I can only imagine how hard it will be to get a table\nin the future. Prices, more than reasonable. Easy to travel to, close to the\nhigh way, a beautiful environment and with the Zlati Gri\u010d wine cellar within walking distance. Nothing\nmore to wish for.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"750\" data-src=\"https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG_1875.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"38801\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG_1875.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/?attachment_id=38801\" class=\"wp-image-38801 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG_1875.jpg 750w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG_1875-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG_1875-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG_1875-696x696.jpg 696w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG_1875-420x420.jpg 420w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG_1875-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG_1875-100x100.jpg 100w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 750px;
