Top choice in Lake Bohinj


This modern take on traditional farmhouse cooking is a must for foodies keen to sample local specialities. Overlook the incongruous location in the centre of Bohinjska Bistrica, and enjoy dishes like ričet s klobaso (barley porridge with sausage and beans).

The hišni krožnik (house plate) is a hearty sampling of native flavours, including ham, sausage, mashed beans and sauerkraut, potato mash and cooked buckwheat.
