MICHELIN Guide Slovenia : a local and wild gastronomy

"Set in an outbuilding amid century-old trees in Baroque Novo Celje Park—reached by walking around a 1760 mansion inspired by Schönbrunn—this contemporary restaurant is a must for food lovers visiting the Lower Savinja Valley. The food is inspired by nature and the best local produce, with 30-year-old chef Marko Magajne aiming to reinvent Slovenian cuisine without neglecting family recipes that provoke nostalgia; he creates refined dishes using no more than three ingredients for harmony and respect for the produce. Owner Gašper Puhan champions close relationships with nearby producers—from the trout and sturgeon farmer supplying exceptional fish to the neighbouring market gardener delivering seasonal asparagus or strawberries—and the menu also reflects wild regional bounty like flowers, mushrooms and game, while house honey comes from acacia trees planted on the grounds. The contemporary decor, designed by Puhan with local materials, craftsmen and designers, mirrors a broader commitment to recycling and sustainability, and a nearly 600-item wine list focuses on regional wines, introduced in a spectacular cellar antechamber with the aim to serve wines that are authentic, always honest, never erring." - Le Guide MICHELIN
