Jure TOMIČ

Jure Tomič is the chef who made Brežice a gastronomic destination. Ošterija Debeluh is proof that top cuisine is not necessarily born in capitals, but where someone is persistent enough to believe in their taste, vision and top local ingredients. With his knowledge, dedication, consistency and exceptional sense of guest, he has been setting high standards of Slovenian gastronomy for years. Tomic offers only the best, but he doesn't make a show out of it for the show's sake. Its strength lies in the balance between tradition and modernity, between exceptional respect for the local environment and ambition that extends far beyond the Posavje region. With him, the dish never comes into play on its own. Next to it stands a carefully selected glass of wine, because wine is not a companion in Tomic's world, but an equal interlocutor. This is one of the hallmarks of Debeluh. As a former sommelier national champion, he has a keen sense of wine, and as a chef, he knows how to capture the moment when a plate turns into an unforgettable experience. His cuisine is confident and technically sophisticated, but never cold. In Debeluh, the cuisine does not end with a bite, it also continues in the family devotion that gives this house its soul. And guests feel this every time they visit. This is one of the reasons why Debeluh is one of the strongest culinary names in Slovenia, and Tomič is the chef who gave Posavje a taste of ambition.
