MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View
The Repovž family who run this restaurant are continuing a long family tradition that dates back centuries – it’s thought that the property has been in their hands for over 500 years, while there’s been a restaurant here for 300 years! Although it’s impossible to list the different generations that have worked here, one thing’s for sure – the current management has really made its mark. Both the dining room and kitchen staff work hard to ensure that guests enjoy the best regional ingredients and dishes (for example, there’s no fish on the menu), which feature on tasting menus of various lengths, with a careful balance of traditional recipes and more contemporary-style fare. The choice of delicious appetisers showcases an array of local traditional specialities, including locally bred trout, vegetables from the restaurant’s own kitchen garden, rabbit with plum cream, and diced pork with a horseradish mousse. The impressive wine list focuses on Slovenian labels.
Gastronomy & Sustainability
"For more than three centuries, the Repovž family has skillfully managed and nurtured a 40-hectare property. In addition to producing a wide array of goods, including vegetables, cereals, fruit, and cider, they have also established an impressive network of local suppliers. These suppliers are depicted in beautiful photographs proudly displayed on a wall at the venue."

Michelin Guide Slovenia: Meta Repovž, chef at Gostilna Repovž

MICHELIN Guide Slovenia : local wines and fine cuisine, a winning combination
Wine has a special place in Slovenian culture. For proof of this, you need look no further than St Martin's Day, an annual folk festival that celebrates the arrival of new wines on 11 November, when wine fever gives rise to festivities in vineyards across the country, from the Mediterranean to the Hungarian border. Around this date, most restaurants are fully booked and serve specific menus, in which wine plays the starring role. This is just one example of the close ties between gastronomy and viticulture in a country that has a very strong food-loving culture.
