Our story
55 years of home cooking
Our own meat curing
We are best known for the home-cured meats we make ourselves: dry salami, dry sausages and hamburška slanina (cured bacon).
Homemade bread
We bake our own bread. It comes up in guest reviews more often than everything else combined.
Terrace with a view
A rustic wooden dining room, and in summer a table on the terrace looking out over the Ljubljana basin.
What we serve
From breakfast for house guests to Sunday lunch for visitors.
For private parties and celebrations we lay on platters: home-made štruklji, prata, fried chicken, roast meat or ribs, and a Wiener or Parisian schnitzel. It is what we most like doing and what guests order most.
Traditional home cooking from mostly local ingredients. Evening meals for house guests by arrangement.

What we cook
Home cooking, done the old way
What we make each week. There is no fixed menu, because we cook as we go.
Every Sunday we make beef soup, fried chicken, roast meat and sautéed potatoes. Sunday is the one day we cook without an order, and that is what we serve.
For groups we prepare platters and adapt them to you. Usually: home-made štruklji, prata, roast meat or ribs, fried chicken, and a Wiener or Parisian schnitzel. Sides on request: chips and boiled vegetables.
On weekdays we cook to order, with quick dishes otherwise. We always have home-made štruklji, salad, and boiling sausage with sauerkraut, the dish our foreign guests order most.
When we cook, and when to book
So you do not arrive on a day when the kitchen is closed.
Sunday
Lunch is ready every Sunday. No reservation needed.
Saturday
On Saturdays we cook only to order. Please call a few days ahead.
Weekdays
To order, with quick dishes and drinks otherwise.
Groups of 10 or more
Please book ahead, Sundays included. Smaller parties do not need a reservation.
