Gault&Millau's review 2026

Radovljica has its own Lectar - an inn that does not rely on grand words, but on tradition, authentic Slovenian home cooking, and dishes that bring the flavours of Gorenjska straight to the plate. Begin with the intoxicating mushroom soup served in a bread bowl, a masterpiece that has become the inn’s signature dish. Freshly gathered forest mushrooms are slowly simmered in a rich homemade broth seasoned with homegrown bay leaves and pepper. Thick, aromatic, and full of woodland character, it is exactly the kind of soup one hopes to find in an old Gorenjska inn. The bread bowl adds a special charm, gradually soaking up the soup and becoming part of the dish itself rather than merely serving as its container - while still remaining pleasantly crisp. Among the main courses, the veal roast stands out. The tender, juicy meat and comforting homemade flavours evoke the kind of Sunday lunch that stays in your memory for years. Alongside the meal, enjoy a glass of house wine or one of the local spirits. For a sweet ending, do not miss the homemade štruklji: we chose the buckwheat version with walnuts, honey, and cinnamon. They will almost certainly convince you to return. Lectar remains the address for guests who are not searching for culinary spectacle in Radovljica, but for warmth, the flavours of Gorenjska, and the feeling of sitting down at the table in a house with a story.
