Gostilna Metoja Božo Bradaškja s.p. — Restaurant in Bovec

After hours on the road, we just wanted to eat and relax. Based on reviews we stopped at this place, expecting something great, but it was far from the expectations. We came to the terrace and waited to be seated. Both waitresses (male and female) went past us multiple times without acknowledging us, not even greeting. Few minutes went by, we were still standing there. We got frustrated and went inside gostilna to ask for at least explanation. After a little while we finally got a table. We weren't even seated, because no one of the staff was there to help. Let me remind you that they have a whole other room of tables, but they didn't want to open that place. When they noticed people were leaving, they opened the other room. The service was really slow, food is average and overpriced, portions are small. This isn't just our experience. People were left waiting, without even an explanation from the staff, the customers were ignored. I even saw a lady waiting and leaving because staff didn't say a word to her. A family with 2 small children came, and I felt really bad, because they were just standing there, feeling like idiots. I told them we were leaving and can have our table. I would rate them 0 stars if I could. I do not recommend this place. If you care about hospitality and quality food, this is...

Stopped by after a great hike in Triglav and in dire need of some sustenance. It was quite busy with motorcyclists stopping in so we had to wait a little while for our table.

We decided to have the platter for two, which was quite expensive for a Canadian at 42 euro, but our jaws just about dropped when it arrived because it looked like it could feed a family of four! It had beef steaks, pork chops, chicken and schnitzel, veggies, fries, and polenta. We ate about half of it and were absolutely stuffed. Totally what we needed and tasted great, especially the schnitzel! We boxed it up and off we went to the...

Do not miss the metoja stew!! Best soup I've had in a long time. The flavor was very extraordinary, couldn't help but feel joy every spoonful. Mushrooms, bacon, some veggies, and the barley, all with a few other flavors I could not place, just amazing. The grilled polenta taste was also special, like a chicken soup base or some kind of broth used to make the polenta. The trout was really good as well. The french fries also nice and crispy and hot enough to burn your mouth.

We pulled in before 4PM, and it was closed, checked google and notice they open at 4PM that day for whatever reason. Went to check some other viewpoint and were happy we came back.

Portions seemed very generous and...
