Access to Luka Košir’s house and restaurant is via roads that wind their way through rolling hills dotted with small villages, through verdant landscapes that seem to reflect the restaurants “green” approach to cuisine. The same beautiful views can be enjoyed from the new veranda-style dining room, while fans of fancy culinary techniques will prefer a table facing the brand-new kitchen where they can watch the chefs at work. Here, the owner-chef presents his own seasonal, rural and creative vision of Slovenia via two surprise tasting menus described in terms of the duration of the meal (2hr 30 and 4hr respectively), rather than the number of courses. Dishes change daily depending on market availability and always feature top-quality ingredients full of flavour, including vegetables from the restaurant’s own kitchen gardens and eggs and meat (in season) from their own ducks. Fish from the not-so-distant Upper Adriatic also makes an appearance, sourced from three trusted fishing boats. The choice of wines by the glass allows for truly original pairings, in which wine and food complement each other to perfection. A non-alcoholic pairing option with tea, juices and home-made drinks is also available.
