New stars for Slovenian gastronomy

The prestigious restaurant guide Michelin announced the 2021 selection of restaurants in Slovenia that are featured in the latest edition. The second edition of the MICHELIN GUIDE SLOVENIA 2021 includes 53 addresses, including 1 new one-Star restaurant, 1 new MICHELIN Green Star restaurant, 1 new Bib Gourmand restaurant and 2 other restaurants entering the Guide for the first time.

​ Michelin inspectors have awarded two stars to one restaurant and one star to six Slovenian restaurants in their second assessment. The restaurant Gostišče Grič joins the list of MICHELIN Star restaurants. Run by owner-Chef Luka Košir it has been promoted from Bib Gourmand to one MICHELIN Star. The Bib Gourmand category includes seven restaurants, and 39 restaurants were awarded the Michelin Plate. Slovenian gastronomy was also recognised in the sustainability category: as many as six restaurants received the Michelin Green Star.

The Michelin guide praises the versatility of the Slovenian gastronomy: ”Varied and colorful, rich in tradition or modernity, the 2021 selection of the Slovenia MICHELIN Guide is a fabulous reflection of the many culinary identities and styles shaping the local gastronomic scene. From fusion to traditional cuisine, from Alpine inns to contemporary restaurant tables in Ljubljana, from Mediterranean to Asian flavors, the Slovenian restaurants recommended by the MICHELIN Guide offer a truly vast gourmet experience.”
