Gault&Millau's review 2026

Sedem is more than just a restaurant. It is a place where flavours are born, knowledge is refined, and a new generation of chefs and waiters grows. As the training restaurant of the College of Hospitality and Tourism in Maribor, it gives young talents the opportunity to test themselves in a real environment in front of guests. The cuisine is based on a thoughtful interpretation of contemporary Slovenian gastronomy, with a menu shaped by the seasons and focused on local ingredients. Their deconstructed version of Styrian sour soup features layered pork ears, soup vegetables, balsamic vinegar foam, and a rich broth made from pork trotters. Equally distinctive is the fregola sarda with slices of Mangalica lard: the noble fat slowly melts upon contact with the warm pasta, coating it in irresistible aroma. The pumpkin ravioli with cottage cheese and crispy sage, served on a ragout of pork cheeks, are delicious. And to conclude the culinary indulgence, let yourself be carried away by the nostalgic flavour of fluffy Pohorje omelette with cranberries and cream. Wine pairing also plays a special role in the experience. It is not merely an accompaniment to the dishes, but an essential part of the whole journey - both for the guest and for the young professionals learning how food and wine come together in perfect harmony.
