Bled’s culinary speciality is the delicious kremna rezina, also known as the kremšnita: a layer of vanilla custard topped with whipped cream and sandwiched between two layers of flaky pastry. While this patisserie may not be its place of birth, it remains the best place in which to try it – retro decor and all.
