Gault&Millau's review 2026

Did you know that you can feel the sea waves under the mountains in the Soča Valley? Visit Topli val, a family-run restaurant with more than half a century of tradition, where they create dishes with a lot of respect for local ingredients and the freshness of the sea on their plates. To welcome you with a glass of sparkling wine, a layer of local sour cream rests on a slight buckwheat blino, and tender monkfish paté is complemented by trout roe. We were enchanted by the plate of raw seafood delicacies, on which sophisticated French oysters, Dalmatian hearts, fresh Adriatic shrimps, tuna carpaccio with a delicate hint of spicy ginger and wasabi and sea bass with refreshing notes of citrus fruits. For a warm appetizer, we recommend spaghetti with vongolas and kaneštrelas in a slightly spicy white buzara. And the main course? It depends on the mood. Lovers of the sea will be delighted with a daily fish catch prepared in the oven or on the grill, while meat lovers will be delighted by the full taste of the deer fillet in the style of kobaříško. The warm wave is a place where the flavors of the sea and the mountains create a modern gourmet experience. The legendary Kobarid štruklji, prepared according to the recipe of Nona Pepca, with soft dough and a rich filling of walnuts, raisins and crumbs, provide a sweet farewell.
