Pod Skalco - Ribčev Laz 58 — Restaurant in Bohinj

The food was amazing, but the service was so abhorrent I cannot reasonably give more than one star. Now before you call me harsh, hear me out.

After ordering - and really enjoying - the food from Pod Skalco we requested the bill. instead of the bill we were presented a card machine to pay. After I had payed the waiter walked away. I had to call after him to receive the bill, which was just the copy for the card holder, not the actual breakdown of costs. This receipt held a surprise. The total price was roughly 10% more than what we actually ordered.

The fries we ordered as a side dish were undercooked and not even hot to the touch. The service continued to be poor at best during the whole time we were there. We were left sitting without drinks for quite some time, untill we asked for the bill. All and all I think there is quite some room for improvement and I would not go there when expecting a pleasant...

The restaurant is at the bottom of the cliff, just across the road with a beautiful view of the lake. It’s close to the hotels and parking lot, but still hidden away enough to feel much less crowded. We were served by Boris, who was super friendly and efficient. Seating is only on the terrace, which was perfect for a summer evening. Calm, pleasant, and with a great atmosphere. The food was excellent. I had the local specialty, Ćevapčiči with kajmak, and I highly...
