The Best Restaurants with 2 Falstaff Fork(s) in Slovenia
Zofka Kanovnik is a chef with a great passion. The dishes she conjures up in a business hotel in the countryside are quite remarkable. Seafood, but also Slovenian country cuisine - both come easily to her. And every plate is prepared with a sense of photographic precision.
Boštjan Pavli is well-known among foodies. His cuisine is modern and has its own signature style, and even classics are given a contemporary twist. Ravioli filled with peach, cheese, mushrooms and goji berries are a real treat. Sounds exotic, but is harmonious. Top desserts!
The place is a beauty from the countryside. The inn with its organic farm has a modern look, and Slovenian cuisine is interpreted with a creative touch. One course is better than the next, so it's best to try your way through the menu. The wine selection is also surprisingly high quality.
Head chef Izidor Kržišnik brings plenty of fresh flavours to the old town. Culinary delights are served throughout the day: from breakfast to an affordable lunch to a sophisticated evening menu. Traditional dishes are interpreted in a contemporary way. Friendly service.
Relaxed, modern restaurant in a suburban neighbourhood. Southern cuisine at its best. The risotto with prawns is wonderfully creamy with the necessary bite. Seafood is also always a good choice, only the freshest ingredients are used. Top wine list with 400 labels!
Sitting down at a table at Marina is like arriving home. This is partly due to the friendly staff and partly due to Ivica Evačić-Ivek - a guarantor of upscale Mediterranean cuisine for over 20 years. Some courses are classically good, others more innovative. Good wine service.
There is plenty on offer in Portorož's nightlife district, but Tomaž and Patrizia Bevčič stand out with their dedicated cuisine. The provenance of the products and animal welfare are important to them. They serve authentic Mediterranean cuisine with a fine touch.
Stylish, youthful, colourful: the AFTR radiates a lot of vibrancy. Just like Jorg Zupan's cuisine. You can expect a bistro style with a creative touch, surprising and with a lot of skill. Sommelier Matjaž Ivanc mainly recommends natural wines, around 30 of which are available by the glass.
Just after the Styrian border, the family estate is surrounded by steep vineyards. Klavdija Gaube serves tasting menus on advance booking - always based on the best local cuisine, prepared with great sensitivity. Naturally, the estate's own fine wines are served by the glass.
A relaxed bistro in the historic centre of Maribor. Culinary delights are always on the menu: the day starts with breakfast, a light lunch is served at lunchtime and in the evening, regional cuisine is served with a view of the world. The wine list offers 150 labels. Very nice service.
In a modern pavilion with a terrace and a view of the Krka River, Tanja and Damjan Fink vivid ambitious regional cuisine. It literally smells of home, as the bread comes fresh from the oven and the best herbs and vegetables are used in the kitchen.
Above the wine cellar is the restaurant, which brings nature in through the window. In the kitchen, a modern line with reference to local tradition is on the programme. The restaurant's own organic wines, which are an expression of its sustainable philosophy, are the perfect accompaniment.
Meat lovers will feel right at home here. Stews, burgers, Mangalitza bacon, Bograč and Krainerwurst sausage taste excellent. The steak is matured in-house for weeks. The sweet finale is gibanica, a layer cake. You can buy gourmet meat products in the shop.
Bogenšperk is rightly considered one of the most beautiful castles in Slovenia. But it has much more to offer: Chef Marko Železnik serves sophisticated Slovenian cuisine. Contemporary courses and an almost irresistible "castle chocolate" are served.
In the dreamy Logar Valley, you will be spoilt with a refined seven-course tasting menu. The dishes are deeply rooted in the region. The produce from the forests, meadows, neighbouring farms and the hotel's own garden are the aromatic sources of inspiration.
It's not just the seaside that offers excellent fish cuisine, Kobarid is also the place to enjoy a holiday atmosphere on your plate. Scampi, oysters, mussels, lobster, fish - the produce is always super fresh. The seafood is prepared classically and very well. Štruklji is also a must.
A noble historic manor house surrounded by greenery conveys a luxurious atmosphere. You feel warmly welcomed and the cuisine contributes to this. Dishes such as Schlickkrapfen, braised lamb, beef stew and Štruklji reflect the craftsmanship of the grandmothers.
The fine dining restaurant pays homage to the actress Sophia Loren. Istrian cuisine as well as Italian and French influences are combined with a delicate touch. A signature dish is the lobster with asparagus ravioli. The wine service offers fine pairings.
The place of enjoyment is an exemplary renovated farm. Cooking is done the way we know it from our grandmothers. In summer, all guests eat stuffed veal breast, roasts and other favourite dishes at a long table. Boris Novak serves top natural wines to go with it.
From the farm to the plate: Mojca Trnovec lives the principle in an exemplary way. Almost all of her produce comes from her own farm. She continues tradition, but in a contemporary, light way. One speciality is the roasts that simmer slowly in the oven.
