Best Restaurants in Slovenia 2023
The whole world is Ana Roš' guest - after all, she has already been voted the best chef in the world. She is constantly working on perfecting and innovating her gastronomic creations. Local ingredients are usually the greatest treasures for profound creations. Top wine cellar!
Don't be fooled by the Renaissance-style façade, behind it lies an extremely modern team. Tomaž Kavcic is an innovative spirit who is constantly pushing his cuisine forward. The sommelier is just as passionate about his work. A total work of art.
A lot of new things have been done. The interior and the open-plan kitchen have been stylishly and elegantly designed. Many products come from the restaurant's own farm - the best basis for Luka Košir's fabulous cuisine with depth and great lightness. The non-alcoholic beverage accompaniment is exciting.
Gregor Vračko has transformed a village inn into one of the most modern country restaurants in Slovenia. Straight lines, lots of elegant wood and glass are the setting for a refined cuisine that swears by regional ingredients and is presented with great skill. Courteous service!
Uroš Fakuč has mastered the art of letting a few selected top products speak for themselves on the plate without exaggerated staging. The cellar is probably home to one of the largest collections of Slovenian wines and Uroš always finds the right one for every course.
Uroš Štefelin opened the restaurant in a former horse stable. He knows how to find ideas for future dishes in traditional dishes. He mainly uses organic ingredients from the region in his dishes, such as the Tepka pear, which he serves with goose liver.
Janez Bratovž has been a guarantor of fine cuisine for decades. He attaches particular importance to the ingredients, which is why he visits the Ljubljana market every morning. He is already assisted by his son Tomaž. Each presents his own menu. Good wine service.
Marko Pavčnik is one of the most important representatives of Slovenian nouvelle cuisine. The ingredients of his surroundings play the leading role - he gives them a new guise with the latest cooking techniques, but remains clear and focussed in his creations. Very good wine service.
Jure Tomić is a very friendly host. His cuisine is characterised by Francophile-Slovenian nouvelle cuisine. It's a good thing that Jure also brings his extensive wine knowledge to the table: he has the perfect bottle for every course. Another plus is the cosy French country house style.
David Žefran and his team demonstrate great skill. Their source of inspiration is nature, which is impressive all around them with imposing mountains and a clear lake. Local products are refined with great sensitivity into artistic miniatures. The wine list is also impressive.
