Sustainable gastronomy : In Slovenia, the past is our future

"Perched atop a small, green hill in Horjul, this Bib Gourmand and Michelin Green Star country inn turns old‑age Slovenian traditions into energizing fine dining: a lively kitchen full of laughter, tender and subtle plates, and a cellar lined with jars of house pickles, kimchi, miso, vinegars and liquors that feed chef Luka Košir’s conceptual, nature‑mimicking dishes. While sommelier Nejc pours formidable natural wines, we see how the family roots run deep—his mother once owned the inn, his father built much of the furniture and distills spirits—and how a free‑range duck farm (with plans for pigs) and a self‑sufficient garden tie the supply chain together, even as Košir favors a largely vegetarian inspiration drawn from the frugal cooking of past Slovenian farmers." - Le Guide MICHELIN
