Gault&Millau's review 2026

High above the city, with sweeping views of the Drava River and the green backdrop of Pohorje, premium seafood ingredients meet creative culinary boldness. Even the charming amuse-bouche - salmon tartare in a delicate yogurt sauce with cooked buckwheat groats - offered a perfect balance of freshness and lightness. A lobster tank and the daily display of fresh fish on ice make it immediately clear that quality and carefully selected ingredients are at the heart of the kitchen. The scallops were prepared in three different ways: au gratin with cheese, lightly grilled with a few drops of olive oil, and finally baked and topped with freshly grated black truffle. Tasting this trio alongside freshly baked mini croissants became a true journey through different dimensions of textures and flavours. The salmon fillet arrived paired with a scallop on a bed of creamy polenta with chanterelle mushrooms. A plate where sea and land meet in a rich palette of flavours and colours. Dessert brought another surprise: a mini baked cheesecake resting on rolled and lightly torched meringue for playful texture, accompanied by an icy and intensely aromatic jurka sorbet, strawberry tartare, rhubarb foam, chocolate mousse, and fresh blueberries. The result? A plate like an artist’s canvas: captivating first with its appearance, and then completely winning over the palate.
