Gault&Millau's review 2026

In the heart of the Vipava Valley, where the bora wind and the sun shape the flavors of nature, the Termika Inn is home. Here's what counts as the best of the season – fresh, local and expressive enough to tell its story on a plate. Although the preparation techniques are modern and the plates are visually perfect, the taste remains true to the Vipava Valley soul. The gastronomic experience also includes a carefully selected wine accompaniment, which puts top quality Vipava wines in the foreground. Succulent trout, marinated in red beetroot, impresses with its distinct color and clean, delicate texture. Delicious Goriška gnocchi are one of the most recognizable house dishes, just as firm that they carry the sauce nicely. The key emphasis of the dish is Tolmin butter with roasted sage, which with its distinct aroma creates a rich buttery and herbal base. The gnocchi is accompanied by a homemade sausage on display and a gently muffled leek. Exquisitely roasted lamb ribs are juicy and flavorful, with a crispy browned crust accentuated by tender chili whiskers. On the plate, they are accompanied by homemade white polenta with rosemary and crispy potato popcorn. The flavors are connected by reduced demi glace sauce and Vipava Blueberry Jam. Thermals are an ideal choice for all those looking for authentic flavours, a peaceful environment and cuisine with character – one that respects the Vipava Valley, but knows how to present it in a fresh, modern image.
