A very pleasant surprise in Postojna. And a good pizza on top. The pizza is not a Verace style but the version in between the classical pizza and Napoletana. Rich in all ingredients and taste. But also other dishes are exceptional. They are not stingy with portion size, thankfully, so if you're not a big eater you might be well off just with a pre-dish. Really. Parking is reserved for guests, and should suffice for most occasions. Would be fantastic if one day they would build shade for the cars, it would be really great in hot or rainy days. Why was this a surprise: it is hard today, to find good food, ok prices, good portions, parking, very kind people working there and a really nice renovated ambient which shows quality and love for this family business. It really shows the owners are here with love for what they do. Keep all this please, we will return happily. One hint: if kids order the kids menu, they will get e really nice surprise. No cheap sh#. :) One remark on the down side: too big and slightly too many pictures of basketball. But this is for my taste of course...

It used to be 11/10. Now? Sad to day they ruined my favourite restaurant. Looks? Absolutely great. Like a proper 5 star restaurant. The first impression was awesome so, when did it start going wrong? The first giveaway was the restaurant was very cold. We then got seated and there was a cold air conditioning right above the table blowing on back of our necks. Really not cool (pun intended) especially during the winter. In such fancy renovated restaurant, they surely must have a great dish presenting their restaurant. Of course partner of mine then picked a 'Čuk ROASTBEEF pasta' and I ordered 'Postojnska pečeka' in thoughts of a good homemade and traditional food. When we got plated it looked amazing. My partner glanced over her dish and first question was, where is the roastbeef? Must be hidden somewhere she said. As we dug into the dish it was getting worse and worse. Starting with her dish the roastbeef was nowhere to be found. The dish tasted like Mineštra with knor vegetable cube. The only edible part were perfectly cooked pasta at the start grated with parmesan cheese. I wont even start with 'dried tomatoes' there were none. Wont even mention the undercooked carrots and vegetables. Roastbeef? It was a disgrace calling meat that you put in meat soup and throw away roastbeef. Carrying with my dish it happened to look very nice at the start but as soon as I started to eat I've noticed that the meat was really guey and fat, the side dish would supposed to be little wiener schnitzels, cooked vegetables, štruklji and sauce. Let's disect: The whole onion is basically just burnt and raw and not slow cooked and sweet like it should be. The carrots and cucumbers were just there without any special taste - just a filler for the plate. Štruklji? The most dried things ai've had in my life. It was like eating bread. They would be good if there were any sauce. There were none at all. Schnitzels? Only edible part of the dish and even those are better in Spar Menza Restaurant. Čuk used to be my favourite restaurant with home cooking at it's best, but now it's just presentation without taste. Pictures shown below look great but also notice how pasta does NOT have roastbeef as described in the menu. Surely wont ever come back to this and dear reader. Save yourself some money for something better :) Thanks! PS: hope restaurant owners read this and either improve the TASTE of the dishes to what they were. You still need to eat the food after you're done looking at it.

We (3 adults, 2 kids) have come to gostilna Čuk in the evening on 5.1.2019. Firstly we got a complain from the waiter because we have put two tables together because there was not enough sitting places for 5 people behind one table. Secondly my wife has ordered a tea, when she got it she found in an empty cup hair (probably animal hair). I have complained to the waiter, she took a cup away and brought new one. Thirdly when I got out main dish, Ljubljana schnitzel from turkey it looked really nice from the outside, but inside where it is filled with cheese and ham the meat was completely raw or better to say almost frozen... I again complained to the waiter. She was not surprised at all, she said that she can bring new one and proposed that instead of Ljublana schnitzel she would bring Wiener schnitzel. I guess I was not the first guest that got raw Ljubljana schnitzel. She also was not sorry or apologized, so in the end we all had really bad experience. We do not recommend gostilna Čuk to anyone.

How pleasantly we are surprised by this restaurant. Low season, many cafes are closed, we randomly looked for a place to eat. Found Chuk, arrived. The restaurant was full, waiting line 20 minutes. However, seeing how our little daughter wants to eat, we were found a table in 5 minutes. The restaurant is popular with locals justifiably. The pizza is great! Posh octopus in two versions! The waiters speak English, they work quickly. A chair for the child brought themselves without a request. The executioners on the menu could not try, too large portions in the main menu. The price is quite decent for this quality. We do not regret the time spent on the search for this restaurant. Good location, near the playground and parking. Decent level and recommend families with children to come.

Our hotel recommended the restaurant Cuk and it took a while to find but when we got there it was fabulous. The tables were nicely spaced, it was busy but quiet and the food was delicious. I had the tuna salad and it was a decent sized tuna steak with a wonderful variety of veg, Deb opted for beef which looked equally delicious. Although we could have left it at that as the portion sizes were good I am, sadly, a glutton. The chocolate mousse dessert was wonderful and I was tempted to have a second but persuaded myself not to. A lovely combination of mousse, strawberries, blueberries, figs and, I think, cookie. A truly excellent meal and good value too - €65 including two pints and a side of grilled veg.

We had a wonderful dinner in restaurant Čuk and our waiter was Mr. Alen. We personally think this gentleman should get a vacation day or a bonus on his paycheck because he was an absolute delight. I was happy to have tried Pivka gnocchi (homemade) because they had a texture like little clouds. The dish was very good. We also had Pivka risotto that was also delicious. For desert we listened to Mr. Alens suggestions and had apple strudel with vanilla. It was amazing! It reminded me of the same strudel my grandma used to make. We also had tiramisu that was very cutely served in a jar and it was very light and tasty! All in all, we recommend this restaurant.
