Gault&Millau's review 2026

In the heart of the Julian Alps, just moments away from the mystical Lake Bohinj, the restaurant Pri lovcu, part of the Art Hotel Kristal, tells a remarkable story of Alpine gastronomy. Here, traditional Bohinj dishes are reawakened in modern, boldly conceived creations. Every plate pays tribute to local producers, while the ingredients carry the Bohinjsko certification mark, guaranteeing authenticity. The culinary journey begins with starters such as beetroot tartare with smoked beetroot cream, a delicious slice of smoked duck breast, and parsley oil. Equally delightful is the tartare of pickled porcini mushrooms, elevated by homemade pumpkin seed oil. In the rich rabbit broth, Bohinj-style lard spread and vegetable cream appear as a flavourful garnish. Game dishes provide a truly special experience: the stars of the menu are tender venison cheeks served with fried polenta made from the indigenous trdinka corn variety. For those seeking local specialties in a new guise, there are exquisite ravioli filled with rabbit and local cottage cheese. The sweet finale belongs to boutique pralines, where adventurous dessert lovers are enchanted by the combination of Bohinj mohant cheese, dark chocolate, and hemp seeds.
