Gault&Millau's review 2026

How to compete with a lake that amazes the world? With glamour on plates! The culinary narrative, built on local roots, is alive, bold and contemporary in Juliana. Technically sophisticated and aesthetically sophisticated plates carry a clear message: homemade can also be extremely modern. The tasting menu begins with Bled's signature: crème brûlée made from local cheese combines the sophistication of classic French cuisine with the authenticity of local ingredients, chutneys made from dried tepkas, beetroot mousse and pickled grapes create a varied balance of flavours. This is followed by a delicately poached fillet of shrimp in buttery sauce, accompanied by a donut of young spinach and champignon. The central part of the menu is marked by a duet. Ripened deer cheeks and roasted pheasant breasts come together in a harmonious dance of flavors, which is enhanced by smoked gnocchi with dry salami, glazed carrots, parsnip cream and marinated kale. Julijana also ventures into the sea waters without hesitation. Saffron panna cotta with marinated Jacobins, yuzu ice cream and wakame algae mousse brings lightness and freshness to the menu. The well-coordinated, professional service is friendly but unobtrusive. That is also why the guest leaves Juliana not only with a beautiful memory, but also with the feeling that he has experienced something special.
