Gault&Millau's review 2026

Kranjska Gora quickly lures visitors outdoors - onto the snow in winter and onto mountain trails and cycling paths during the warmer months. But at the family-run Hotel Lipa, guests are just as convincingly invited to sit down at the table. In summer, the mighty linden tree offers shade beneath its branches, while in winter the glass-covered atrium provides a warm retreat. Their cuisine builds a bridge between sea and land. The mixed seafood platter is a true symphony in four movements. It begins with a raw Adriatic scampi - sweet, juicy, and firm - whose natural elegance is enhanced by just a drop of olive oil. This is followed by a fried prawn wrapped in crisp brick pastry with a sweet-spicy dip, tuna tartare, and both boiled and grilled octopus. The rich scampi soup topped with Parmesan foam deserves applause, as does the expertly cooked foie gras, while lovers of classic meat dishes swear by the lamb chops in Port wine sauce. The fresh catch of the day brought a fillet of turbot to the table, beautifully complemented by parsnip purée, seasonal kale, and porcini mushrooms. But the story does not end there. At Lipa, the richly stocked wine cellar plays an essential role: not merely as an accompaniment to dinner, but as its quiet director. Sweet lovers are not forgotten either. A chocolate soufflé with hazelnut provides a luxurious finale, while homemade cookies offer an even sweeter farewell.
