Traditional Cuisine Chef of 2019 - Meta Repovž

Gostilna Repovž is not just one of the best Slovenian restaurants: it is also an eco farm and homestead where the whole family works together. At the entrance, you will notice the inscription »For kind souls and curious stomachs,« so it is no wonder why everybody feels good there – the locals at the bar and guests from Slovenia and abroad who came to fill their curious stomachs. In the kitchen, everything is under the calm control of chef Meta Repovž. Her philosophy is simple, connected to tradition, childhood memories and fresh products from the neighbouring farms. Although they rely heavily on tradition, the Repovž family are constantly reinventing their offer, taking on new challenges and serving eco food in a modern and creative way. Almost everything on your plate has grown on their land, which used a lot of time, physical work and knowledge. The chef is in contact with land, nature and her products every single day, which is why she sees the ingredients differently: she has known every plant since it was a seed.
