Gostilna Krištof is a family-run establishment approximately thirty minutes from Ljubljana. In the village of Predoslje, in the heart of Gorenjska, in one of the finest examples in the area of a Gostilna (traditional Slovenian restaurant) and its hospitality.

Koper, Izola, Portorož, Piran and the Korte hinterland all lie just a few kilometres from the sea. This is the less familiar Slovenia, a land close to the sea and coast that is far from the country’s inland rivers and mountains, where beautiful landscapes offer the same gastronomic abundance that characterises Slovenia as a whole. Culinary attractions here include fish from the Adriatic, wine, salt from Piran, and extra-virgin olive oils produced from olive groves influenced by the mild maritime climate.
