Restavracija Letni vrt

This is the best restaurant in the action village capital of Bovec. While much of the town focuses on burgers and pizzas, we were able to try some delicious dishes here that were more reflective of the local cuisine. We went two nights in a row so were able to sample quite a lot of the menu. I would recommend the starter platter and any of the trout dishes. Also, you might be missing salad by this stage of your travels through Slovenia so the salad is a big hit with the delicious apple Cider vinegar with infused herbs and garlic. The wines are also very good (recommend the Sivi Pinot and Zelen). We sat in the outside area the first night which has a great lively atmosphere while the second night we were seated in the restaurant which was far quieter but had a lovely view of the Main Street in Bovec.

We didn't have reservation (as said in many other reviews) but we were gently taken care by the waiter Katrin - and after that, a man with white hair and pig tail asked if we need a table and told us to wait for a few minutes that he will arrange it. Very kind of his part. Katrin did our whole service and maybe she was the best part of our experience. Extremely kind - she even noticed we were Brazilians and we start to chat. She was always very cautious when approaching us, gave clever suggestions about our orders (we order the trout tartare, trout hambúrguer, lemon gnocchi and suckling pig leg) and showed so much knowledge about everything on the menu. It was a lovely surprise! In the end, she gifted us with a home-made liquor, made with flower of the region and it was fantastic! The aroma and flavor were inebriant. Although we much enjoyed the food, the service, presented by Katrin was the star of the night. Again, we thank you.

**⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Dining Experience!** I can’t say enough good things about this restaurant! From the moment we walked in, the service was exceptional—friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The ambiance was perfect, with a cozy yet elegant atmosphere that made our evening special. Now, the food… **WOW!** Every dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The food was absolutely divine, and the dessert was the perfect sweet ending. Even the cocktails were crafted with care and creativity. This place is a true gem, and I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience!

We stumbled upon Letni VRT on our first day in Bovec — tired from an early start and in desperate need of a good meal. What we found was so much more. A delicious pasta lunch, outstanding service, and the kind of attention that makes you feel like family. Between the excellent wine recommendations and what might just be the best olive oil and fresh bread we’ve ever tasted, we were instant fans. Naturally, one visit wasn’t enough. We came back for dinner. This time for perfectly prepared Slovenian trout, served with potatoes and greens that were every bit as impressive as the main course. Everything about Letni VRT - the food, the warmth, the beautiful garden setting — made it unforgettable. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for great service, an exceptional meal, and that magical “we found the perfect spot” feeling.

Excellent. Great food, excellent service and hosting with good knowledge of the wines and where food was sourced. I think it gets very busy at times, so best to reserve if possible.

Nice restaurant, with local food. If you want to taste Soča Valley Deer with Gniochi, this is place to come. Great choice of pastas and other dishes. Goes more on fancy side. Although restaurant looked empty, don't let that fool you as they have an inner courtyard where most guests were at the middle of a day

I was doing an all day tour and we stopped at this place for lunch since we wanted traditional Slovenian Food. I had deer goulash with gnocchi and a natural apple juice and they were both delicious!

Nice pizzeria and resaurant in the center of Bovec, staff very friendly and professional. Pizza's are ok, loved the cooking, plates well prepared and excellent quality. Great view of the main square of Bovez, best to book.
