Gostilna Lectar

Excellent cozy atmosphere of traditional Slovenia. Extensive rustic Alpine and farming decorations and artifacts heighten the ambiance. Located in the center of town. Good food, but arrive early as seasonal specialties sell out and aren’t available. Extensive kitchen baking display down in the cellar.

Gostilna Lectar is an amazing place with over 200 years of history! The atmosphere is cozy and full of character, and the food is simply amazing—traditional Slovenian dishes made with care. There’s even a bakery where they craft the famous Slovenian gingerbread, adding a unique touch. Fun fact: even the King of Norway has dined here! If you’re in Slovenia, this place is a must-visit for a memorable meal and experience. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Went to restaurant and boutique, not the hotel. It was perfect. Beautiful traditional interior and traditional food, one recipe even being from 1822. We got the food very quick after ordering. The service was good. Decent prices. Absolutely recommend and hope to come back some time!

This place is MAGICAL!! On YouTube you can find a good amount of info before you go like on “bratwurst and bachata” channel, the food was TOP NOTCH! Very authentic and the decorations were so lovely and unique!

The worst behavior they could do to their guests, the laydis in traditional Sloveninan drases said some bad words in Slovenian she dident know that I can Understand that. When my wife sad to her she cant behave like that she Apologise but she alrady hurt us. Quality of food is not same as previous owner laste years also we try them food was much worse than year befor. Hopefully Some Sloveninan families theke this place over and make it as a great Tradition slovenian.

We had a wonderful quiet lunch late on a September Sunday and were one of just a couple of tables that were in use. Loved the Austrian decor-the interior is really quaint. While service was quite leisurely, the food was really good-especially the Viennese chicken (also offered in pork) and fries; paper thin, breaded and fried to a crispy texture with curled golden does and a big smear of lingonberry sauce. The fresh pumpkin soup and large salad were also nice. I wouldn’t mind going back again for that chicken. Afterwards we could resist a slice of cinnamonny apple strudel-yum! Be sure to pop downstairs to the “cookie work shop” aka cookie “museum” to see how they are keeping a tradition alive.

A restaurant with great traditional Slovenian food, full of character and with lovely staff. Highly recommended!

I am reviewing this as a restaurant. It wasn’t immediately obvious it was one when walking past, as it appeared to be a shop but turn left and walk to the back to the restaurant. The menu was extensive with many dishes I’d have happily chosen. We went as a party of 5, so I saw multiple offerings and they were all tasty. The portions are generous to say the least, I got half way through my chicken and roast vegetables salad. The steak salad was excellent too. The food seemed authentically Slovenian and included such things as horse meat which might put some off. Service was friendly and helpful, and good English (phew😮‍💨 It was also reasonably priced. I’ve now eaten there three times, and enjoyed each one. The last time I was able to sit outside and watch the world go by👍🏻
