Top choice in Eastern Slovenia
In Bakovci village, 5km southwest of Murska Sobota, this gostilna serves local specialities with a modern twist. We love the trout served with pea-mash and parsley oil and the hearty stick-to-your-ribs bograč golaž (Hungarian-style goulash soup). Finish with gibanica ice cream – what happens when the local pastry gets taken to new heights.
The five-course tasting menu is €38.
