Gault&Millau's review 2026

At Špacapanova hiša, guests are welcomed not just to a table, but into a story. Behind its doors lies a warm and intimate interior where tradition confidently meets contemporary cuisine. The opening bites set the tone: crispy polenta chips tucked into a dried corn cob, a macaron filled with capon pâté presented on a forest-inspired arrangement, baked eggs with wild asparagus served on a wooden spoon, and a memorable loaf of warm sourdough bread. It is a welcome that immediately makes guests feel at home. Thin slices of beef tongue are paired with a colourful garden salad, basil oil, fermented tomato water, and a sprinkling of sunflower seeds and red pepper. The result is a light and carefully balanced dish that reflects the wild character of the Karst landscape. Another highlight is a potato cream topped with freshly gathered wild greens and potato crisps, finished with an intensely flavoured wild garlic soup. For meat lovers, the centrepiece is free-range Karst lamb - exceptionally juicy and delicately flavoured. It is accompanied by handmade cheese ravioli, grilled asparagus, fermented white asparagus, freshly grated cheese, and crispy buckwheat puffs. At Špacapanova hiša, the meal becomes a refined tribute to the Karst region: wild, authentic, and surprisingly elegant.
