Gault&Millau's review 2026

Pri Damjanu Homestead offers dishes deeply connected to the land, with a clear focus on authentic flavours. Guests can enjoy homemade cuisine built around local ingredients, seasonal dishes, and careful preparation - from starters to hearty meat and vegetable mains accompanied by classic side dishes rooted in local tradition. The place is equally beloved for its warm and friendly service. The platter of homemade cured meats is generous, while the house beef pâté is perfect spread over fresh bread. The pasta dishes are excellent: homemade fuži with rooster goulash deliver the primal flavour of tradition, while the ravioli with sausage and gorgonzola deserve special attention. The true highlight of the meal remains the mixed meat prepared under the bell. In the oven, succulent veal and pork ribs slowly tenderize in their own juices beneath a heavy lid. Once uncovered, rich aromas spill from the oven, and the meat practically melts in the mouth. Another absolute triumph is the crispy fried chicken with its golden crust, beneath which the meat stays juicy and full of flavour. It is served with fried potato croquettes, sautéed potatoes, and spinach, while pickled lamb’s lettuce with beans and egg adds a refreshing balance to this hearty homemade cuisine. Pri Damjanu Homestead remains faithful to its reputation: the food is simple, the portions generous, and the flavours honest and authentic.
