★ Michelin€€€Contemporary, Farm to table

In one of the oldest buildings in the country, in the fully pedestrianised centre, chef Uroš Štefelin and his team welcome guests with genuine spontaneity. The gastronomic proposal is structured around three tasting menus – of five, seven, or nine courses – selectable at the time of booking. Regardless of the number of dishes, the journey celebrates local produce and recipes reinterpreted with contemporary sensitivity. Preparations such as krapci, ravioli filled with chestnuts and porcini, or sweetbreads, deftly served with finely cut vegetables, are but a few expressions of local tradition. I

Restavracija Majerca

Bib Gourmand€€regional

Majerca is the intimate restaurant of an elegant boutique hotel nestled in the valleys of the Julian Alps, a short distance from the bucolic Lake Bohinj. Its cuisine draws deep roots from the produce of the territory. The chef-patron, a native of the area, combines international techniques with a contemporary vision, expressing them with balance and sensitivity. Local ingredients take undisputed centre stage: the trout, offered in several preparations; the daily soups, always richly flavoured; and the meats of the territory, among which the duck breast stands out as one of the most appreciated

The view accompanies the experience both from the bright indoor dining rooms and, above all, from the magnificent summer terrace.

Housed in the Grand Hotel Toplice which stands amid some of the most popular landscapes in Slovenia, this restaurant boasts truly breathtaking views of Lake Bled from its dining room and its outdoor terrace.

Old Cellar Bled

€€Regional Cuisine, Seasonal Cuisine

Ideal for a summer lunch on the terrace, or inside during the evocative winter days when the lake, still and veiled in a light mist, creates an atmosphere of great enchantment. The welcoming interiors, distributed across several rooms, afford comfortable views of the lake’s beauty at every turn. The kitchen specialises above all in freshwater dishes, such as trout salad with potatoes or a flavourful fish soup. Among the main courses, the duck breast from the neighbouring valleys stands out, richly flavoured and served with pumpkin štruklji and an excellent red wine sauce.
