This place is located on top of the hill which is know as local recreation spot for hiking. You can do long hikes or short ones or even take a car to the top to admire 360° viev. On the top you can find a church and a mountain chalet which offers variaty of loca food but can also provide catering for groups. They are also know for theme evenings when they invite local chefs to make culinary wonders.
This time it was French cuisine prepared by Chef Bine Voljčič, know as one of the best Chef's in SLO. He runs also a restaurant downtown Ljubljana, named Monstera. He was accompanied by Chef Matjaž Sedej who operates the spot on the top.
The culinary masterpiece started with cooked mussels prepared with white souce known for Normandy and Bretagne. Splendind. Perfect taste with well balanced spices.
It was followed by Pumpkin Ravioli with a touch of local smelly cheese "mohant" and small chunk of grilled livers. I can only say a masterpiece. Just such a collection of tastes that were rounded so perfectly.
After that we were treated by roasted chicken leg in a wine sauce ... with typical french brassiere taste you would get in Paris. Well prepared.
For main another exquisite dish. Beef Wellington with Parisian wine souce. Amazing tender beef rounded with smooth and tasty dough.
We have finished the evening with a cheesecake... Small yet perfect taste... not to sweet and not sour and super crusty base.
All in all - remarkable evening where you could enjoy the best that Slovenian Chefs can offer.
I do travel a lot and experience a lot of exquisite dinning but it has not been many times that I was so satisfied with every single dish... maybe last time in Bilbao... but it was in Michelin star restaurant.
Make sure you keep me informed when this kind of things happen...

There is also a children playground there, outdoor fitness and an old church. You can also access the restaurant with car on tarmac road, but I would recommend hiking, because it is not far and the way is very...
