"Amid the temperate breezes of Kozina’s Karst region, this Bib Gourmand and Michelin Green Star restaurant couples a beautiful organic garden with a cuisine that preserves and reimagines tradition: a simple homage of sardines with salt and vinegar served on an ice cube, potica packed into a glass jar to keep its flavor for months, and desserts that shine—from a pear sorbet from Brkini orchards resting on a juniper‑studded block of ice to an unforgettable Jamar cheese flan with truffles and a crispy egg yolk. Strictly local and seasonal, Chef Ksenija Krajšek Mahorčič’s cooking also argues for less plastic and aluminum in the kitchen, inspired by the region’s hardworking women and the resourcefulness of earlier generations." - Le Guide MICHELIN
