Embark on an exciting gastronomic journey around the 2021 European Region of Gastronomy! Slovenia is a land of authentic flavours of nature and hospitable people. Wherever you stop, you will eat well. You can learn about the variety of dishes and unique specialities in as many as 24 gastronomic regions and three wine-growing areas. You'll be convinced by our five reasons why you'll enjoy your most delicious holiday ever!
The flavours of Slovenia are flavours of locally produced ingredients. We stand by the principle ‘from the garden to the plate’. Spices and herbs from the nearest garden or meadow, vegetables from the field of Slovenian farmers. We pick mushrooms and berries in the vast forests, milk and dairy products come from the mountains, and honey is sourced from the apiaries of local beekeepers. Dishes that are prepared in countryside taverns and agritourism farms, as well as by renowned chefs in award-winning restaurants, are based on traditional recipes and local specialties. Guests are offered what is produced locally. Welcome to our kitchen!
Vintage cellars in the three Slovenian wine regions will impress you with guided tastings and unique experiences, while modern cellars write new wine stories, upgraded by world-class wine experts. Among the picturesque vineyards you will find open door cellars where, in addition to tasting the exceptional Slovenian wines, you will learn about the secrets of their production.
Explore boutique five-star gastronomic experiences in Slovenian restaurants and the creativity of their chefs, who are among the best that European cuisine has to offer. You can rely on recommendations by recognised gastronomic guides such as Michelin and Gault&Millau, or follow the Slovenia Green Cuisine label, which ensures a sustainable gastronomic experience.
Slovenia got its version of the prestigious Michelin Guide for the first time in 2020, with Michelin stars coming along with it. In 2023, chef Ana Roš's Hiša Franko can boast no fewer than three Michelin stars, making it the first Slovenian restaurant to be awarded three stars. Also new in 2023 are two stars for Restaurant Milka in Kranjska Gora, the creative space of chef David Žefran and his team. Seven more Slovenian restaurants can boast one Michelin star. Visit them to get to know them!
