Vila Podvin

Top choice in The Julian Alps


Winning plaudits from diners local and foreign, this elegant establishment is 3km east of Linhartov trg, on the 14th-century Grad Podvin Estate. Kitchen creativity combines with quality local produce and some time-honoured techniques to produce plates that match the beauty of the setting. Lunch is great value (three courses for €18), as is the chef's tasting menu (four/six courses €40/60).
