The Best Restaurants with 1 Falstaff Fork(s) in Slovenia
Whether in the blossoming garden with large chestnut trees and lime trees or in the cosy, gracefully aged parlour - the lovingly cultivated tradition tastes good in both. Where else can you get real chicken soup or veal liver with fluffy mashed potatoes? Youthful service.
You cross the bridge and the green river into the park of the sophisticated castle. The ingredients come from the castle garden or from producers in the region. Classics are interpreted in a modern way, such as beef steak combined with mashed potatoes, onion marmalade and mustard.
Quiet atmosphere close to the old town. Seafood cuisine is the speciality. Tuna carpaccio, pasta with seafood, saffron risotto with shrimps and octopus are the favourite classics. Those who prefer meat will also find what they are looking for: Steaks or lamb are also prepared with love.
Barbecue season is all year round. Ivan Kastelic proves this impressively in his restaurant, which used to be a stable. Huge skewers of all kinds of meat lie on the grill over the charcoal and a mountain of ash. Trout and octopus are also prepared.
The marvellous lake in Bled forms the spectacular backdrop for the castle restaurant. The cuisine is based on the products of the region and Slovenian tradition, interpreted in a modern way. It is best to try the four or six-course menu. Dedicated wine service.
A cosy holiday farm, you immediately feel at home. Salami, bacon, ham and many other products taste authentic. The home cooking is also reminiscent of our grandmothers' cooking. They serve their own wines and schnapps made from Williams pears from the farm garden.
The modern winery has long been known for its excellent wines, but now you can also enjoy the dishes that go with them. Down-to-earth, very good cuisine is on the programme. Examples? Homemade beef soup or baked pork fillet stuffed with porcini mushrooms.
The family-run restaurant looks back on 130 years of tradition, but has arrived in modern times. Local ingredients are used to create smart classics such as beef tartare with egg yolk and pickled onions, smoked trout with lemon sauce or tender braised saddle of venison.
Italian restaurants outside of Italy are rarely authentic. It's different here. The pizza oven runs all day and slices of dough with good toppings are constantly coming out. The sugo for the pasta is freshly cooked, and the steaks and desserts are also delicious. Good wines.
Elegant atmosphere with dimmed lighting. You can start with noodles made from wheat (udon) or buckwheat (soba). Sashimi and sushi are prepared in the traditional Japanese style, but regional trout is also used. If you fancy alternatives, order steak.
You are welcomed with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking a pond. The tasting menu ranges from freshwater fish to meat dishes, all skilfully arranged. The excellent wine list features the best Slovenian winemakers, as well as some as yet unknown ones.
The Gulf of Trieste lies at your feet, and the cuisine is suitably Mediterranean. The pea soup impresses with its creaminess, while the stirred polenta goes well with prawns or tender grilled meat. The helpful staff will be happy to advise you on the selection of well-stocked wines.
Seafood fans will feel right at home here. The best ingredients are prepared without a lot of frippery in order to emphasise the pure flavour. Calamari is a particular delicacy, whether fried, grilled or stuffed. Oven-baked sea bass also tastes delicious.
Mangalitza pigs and cattle feel at home on the flagship farm. The food is cooked in the best country style and much of it comes from the farm's own production, such as the delicious hand-cut prosciutto. The pork chops with potatoes and kohlrabi are incredibly tender and juicy.
The large terrace on the promenade and, above all, the Asian cuisine attract guests. No trace of running sushi, everything comes fresh from the kitchen. The Thai tom yam soup is top quality, the curries are available in yellow, red or green. And even the sushi tastes authentic.
An inn just like it used to be, with romantic stone walls, wooden beams and a courtyard surrounded by vines. The warm energy of Vera Šajna can be tasted in every dish. Fuži with truffles, Štruklji, whole fish from the oven and tender steaks are simply impossible to resist.
The interior looks like a bar with its white furniture and casual leather sofas. The kitchen focuses on contemporary Istrian cuisine with modern accents. Fuži with truffles, seafood risotto or sea bass in a salt crust are just as much a firm favourite as the Wagyū burger.
Over 220 years of history can be seen in the rear-view mirror of this venerable, classic inn. Everyone will find something to suit their personal taste. Fried chicken, veal medallions, pepper steak, baked fish or octopus - everything is excellently prepared. The goose is also worth a visit.
A restaurant with good fish cuisine in the capital? Yes, it is possible. In the small traditional house on the river Ljubljanica, the food is cooked in the classic way with very fresh produce. Scampi buzara, tender octopus or fish from the oven - everything tastes good. The strudels are a must.
The inn is idyllically situated off the main routes. Grega Narat is a soul of a host. He serves fragrant buckwheat bread to start. This is followed by classics such as fried chicken, but also upmarket dishes such as parsley root soup with ravioli filled with oxtail.
