Not worth it

Made a reservation for 4 a few days in advance for the vegan menu.

The place looks great, well decorated and with a nice view on the surrounding garden, the service was ok.

We got 3 courses to try, an asparagus risotto which was ok tasting but lacked in flavour. The main dish was a tofu roasted in pumpkin seeds which was completely bland, with parsnip that was bitter, dipped in oil with no salt at all, and the desert was average.

Presentation is on point, everything looks tasty, it was a nice touch to create something around traditional Slovenian ingredients (buckwheat, pumpkin seeds…) but it wasn't good.

I got charged directly to my hotel bill, and discovered at checkout that I had to pay the “4-courses meal” price, while they only served 3 courses to us. After complaining, I could only get a 10% discount, which is far from fair.

I would stay away from this restaurant unless you can't taste anything, in that case you will have a nice diner of good-looking dishes.

Great vegan fine dining

They offer excellent 4 course vegan dinner with seasonal ingredients. Very nice interior and tasty food. Highly recommended!

I think it is required to make a reservation in advance.

Pros: Vegan 4 course fine dining menu, Very tasty food, Pleasant and beautyful interior

Cons: Reservation required

Very good breakfast

Has an option for a vegan breakfast plate with vegetables, grilled smoked tofu, vegan cheese, multiple spreads, vegan and gluten free bread, fresh fruits and juice. Also coffee or tea is included. At the buffet there are is granola and some marmelades, peanut/almond butter and chocolate spread available. Everything tasted fresh and good. All this for 18€ seems really fair for me.

Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. The place is just by the river and really beautiful.

Pros: All you can eat, Beautiful location and huge garden, Good coffee
