In May 2026, the legendary JB moved from Ljubljana to the Arboretum Golf Resort at the foot of the Kamnik-Savinja Alps. Now, the next generation of the Bratovž family is at the helm of the kitchen. Tomaž shapes the haute cuisine, which reinterprets classic dishes. Nina is the wine expert.

It's hard to believe, but right in the middle of the countryside near the Styrian border, close to Bad Radkersburg, a modern winery complete with a restaurant suddenly appears.

Anyone familiar with Ana Roš knows that even the more casual version of her top-rated restaurant in Kobarid serves up the very best quality food. The chef calls it “young cuisine.” The dishes are inspired by the seasons and what’s available at the market. Exquisite craftsmanship, with a touch of rock ’n’ roll.
The word “Gostilna,” meaning “inn,” is misleading. That’s because the cuisine here is very contemporary. The Bolka family brings just the right touch of contemporary flair, while Uroš Gorjanc ensures that local recipes with a modern twist make their way onto the plate. The wide selection of local wines by the glass is a delightful bonus.
This family-run country inn combines tradition with innovation, and a local flair with a cosmopolitan spirit. The trio of pâtés—made with pork, smoked pheasant, and duck with dried plums—is exquisite. Simple dishes like tender beef cheeks are just as impressive. Local wines.
