Gault&Millau's review 2026

Near the Italian border, where Slovenian tradition meets Italian influence, lies a true oasis for lovers of diverse flavours. Spacious and welcoming to families and larger groups, the inn features a shaded terrace and a menu that caters to every taste, from light starters to hearty main courses. Among the specialties, the homemade noodles with delicate porcini ragù unquestionably stand out. Soft, hand-rolled noodles are coated in a rich sauce of fresh porcini mushrooms, onions, and cream that brings deep woodland aromas to the dish. Simple yet indulgent, it melts in the mouth - much like the gnocchi with goulash. The grilled octopus tentacles with potatoes and vegetables are equally excellent: tender, smoky tentacles with a beautifully crisp char, served alongside roasted potatoes and seasonal vegetables, making them the perfect choice for seafood lovers. Among guest favourites are both classic and contemporary meat dishes prepared on the volcanic grill: juicy, tender, and full of flavour, with the irresistible aroma of a beautifully seared crust. The grilled steak never disappoints, while homemade apple strudel with vanilla ice cream brings the meal to a warm and comforting close. Crisp pastry filled with fragrant apples transforms, together with rich vanilla ice cream, into pure sweet indulgence.
