Gault&Millau's review 2026

Gostilna Murko is a Slovenian inn with soul, where respect for tradition intertwines with an understanding of the modern guest. The cuisine is built on trusted homemade recipes. The meat is always cooked properly, the sauces are rich, and the side dishes are classic yet carefully refined. Portions are generous, while the flavours remain clear, comforting, and deeply rooted in home cooking. The homemade liver pâté is silky and rich, sprinkled with ground pumpkin seeds. It is accompanied by a basket of homemade white bread and Carinthian rye bread. The exceptional steak tartare impresses with premium beef, beautifully balanced seasoning, grated butter, and an elegant presentation finished with a delicate pasta crisp. A tribute to local tradition comes in the form of a hearty veal stew served with buckwheat žganci and crispy cracklings: a robust dish that warms and satisfies. The pork tenderloin is juicy and tender, wrapped in perfectly crisped prosciutto and served in a dark meat sauce that elegantly ties the dish together with delicious cottage cheese štruklji. Cranberries complete the plate with a harmonious balance of flavours. For a sweet finale, a slice made from several types of chocolate arrives in a compact yet creamy texture, refreshed by aromatic passion fruit cream and an excellent mango sorbet resting on a crunchy crumble and decorated with a chocolate stick. A dessert that indulges with every bite.
