Where the Faroe Islands Meet the Julian Alps: Milka Welcomes Ræst’s Chef Sebastian Jiménez

On Saturday, 28 June 2025, Milka Restaurant in Kranjska Gora will host an exciting culinary event — a 4-hands dinner featuring Chef Sebastian Jiménez of the acclaimed Ræst restaurant in the Faroe Islands.

Chef Jiménez, head chef at Ræst — located in one of Tórshavn’s oldest turf-roofed houses in the Faroe Islands — is renowned for his pioneering approach to fermented cuisine. His culinary creations combine the deep traditions of fermented lamb and seafood with the vibrant flavours of the islands, such as sea urchins, scallops and langoustines, occasionally infused with delicate Mexican influences.

Milka, situated at the edge of Lake Jasna with panoramic views of the Julian Alps, is one of Slovenia’s most celebrated fine-dining destinations. Honoured with two Michelin stars, it offers a refined Alpine culinary experience that reflects the pristine nature surrounding it. Under the leadership of chef David Žefran, Milka is known for its ingredient-driven cuisine, elegant creativity, and seamless hospitality.

This exclusive dinner will bring together two culinary philosophies, two unique territories and one shared dedication to craftsmanship and flavour. Diners will be treated to a captivating fusion of Nordic and Alpine influences — an evening of storytelling through taste.

Seats are limited and in high demand — early booking is strongly recommended.
