The avant-garde chef David Vračko gained his experience in famous restaurants all over the world and for the last 7 years, he has been cooking at Mak restaurant in Maribor. He has shaken the culinary scene of Slovenia: at first glance, he looks more like a painter and he does not simply answer a question – he tells a story. This story unfolds at Mak, without an expected menu. The chef surprises with his constantly changing, different, unexpected combinations and the guests never know what they're going to get even though they learn about the ingredients beforehand. At Mak, you have to let go and enjoy, following chef's instructions: which bite is the first and which is the next one? In reality, Vračko's philosophy is simple: each guest matters and each guest must leave his restaurant happy. Because of his creative, crazy plates, the guests leave the restaurant ecstatic since their meal had been turned into a funky adventure in wonderland.
