Gault&Millau's review 2026

Are you searching for a place where warmth and homeliness are not merely a memory of the past, but inspiration for the future? A place where time slows down and the aroma of grandmother’s kitchen fills the air? Kmetija Kovačnik stands in a magical location at the edge of the forest, surrounded by wide pastures and meadows, with unforgettable views of the valley and the surrounding Pohorje peaks unfolding from the homestead. Here, ancient recipes intertwine with a touch of modern creativity, while the menu exists in perfect harmony with nature. It breathes with the rhythm of Pohorje - from fresh spring herbs to hearty winter delicacies. A generously topped and juicy špehovka served as a welcome bite, homemade cured meats from their cellar, and delicious spreads delight with authentic flavours. A true beef broth warms both body and soul. The roasted aged veal is tender, juicy, and full of flavour, while the roast pork and crispy fried chicken are equally irresistible, accompanied by a rich selection of side dishes: fluffy cottage cheese štruklji, buckwheat porridge with porcini mushrooms and vegetables, sautéed potatoes, fried pears with semolina, apple chutney, and winter salad dressed with their own excellent pumpkin seed oil. The juicy Pohorje gibanica, prepared according to grandmother Angelca’s carefully guarded recipe, is a tribute to tradition and to flavours that are never forgotten.
