Cold appetizer: Potato salad
As an introduction to your culinary journey, we present a potato salad prepared for you by the legendary Ljubljana-based Taverna Tatjana. This dish is a Slovenian classic in its purest and most refined form, where simple ingredients are transformed into an unforgettable taste of home.
In our history, the potato played a crucial role in survival, eventually becoming the "second bread" of the Slovenian nation. At Taverna Tatjana, where they swear by authentic ingredients and traditional methods, the salad is prepared with respect for our grandmothers' recipes. Every bite reflects the perfect balance between the texture of locally grown potatoes, high-quality oil, and just the right amount of acidity.

Warm appetizer: Cheese štruklji (cottage cheese dumplings)
We continue with a warm appetizer that is a true icon of Slovenian gastronomy – cheese štruklji, prepared by the masters from Moji štruklji Slovenije. Once a festive treat, today they represent the pinnacle of our modern culinary offering.
In the hands of these experts, this traditional dish takes on a new dimension. Made from hand-stretched dough and a rich filling of fresh curd cheese, their texture is fluffy and light. Štruklji are not just a dish; they are a symbol of Slovenian hospitality and ingenuity, where simple dough and local dairy products merge into perfect harmony.

Main course: Trofie with truffles
For the main course, we take you to the sunny coast to enjoy trofi with truffles, prepared by the renowned Domačija Lisjak. This dish represents the intersection of Istrian tradition and the prestige hidden in our forests in the form of precious truffles.
Trofi are traditional hand-twisted pasta shapes that perfectly absorb the aromatic sauce. Domačija Lisjak, famous for its deep connection to the Istrian land and premium olive oil, infuses this dish with all its passion. These "black diamonds" of our nature elevate the meal to a premium gourmet experience.

Dessert: Mini potica (traditional Slovenian nut roll)
No Slovenian celebration is complete without the queen of our desserts – potica. For a sweet finale, we will serve a mini potička, prepared with great care by Gostilnica Orle. Potica is more than just a dessert; it is a symbol of the Slovenian home and our national identity.
At Gostilnica Orle, where tradition lives at every step, they prepare it according to old, time-tested recipes that require patience and the finest local walnuts. This sweet bite is a perfect tribute to Slovenian heritage and an unforgettable conclusion to your menu.
