Gostilna Mahorčič

An unmissable restaurant in a small village in the beautiful Karst region, with a classic, beautifully kept dining room with the intimate feel of a private lounge. The owners here are friendly and welcoming and keen to showcase the best of their region. With enthusiasm and expertise, skilful owner-chef Ksenija Krajšek Mahorčič adds a personal, technical touch to Slovenian ingredients, resulting in dishes of the highest quality. Among the appetisers, the puffed wild garlic chip topped with a sea bass cream made from fish scraps shows her hands-on approach to using every part of the ingredient. Also recommended is the roast lamb served with cider made from home-grown apples and a garlic potato mash. Don’t forget to leave space for one of the exquisite desserts, such as the refreshing and delicious yogurt mousse with elderberry ice cream. The same care and attention to detail is found on the wine list.
