Home cooking by the emerald Soča
Soča trout, frika, Bovec krafi and Kobarid štruklji. We cook from our nona's recipes with what grows in the valley, and serve it all on a terrace right above the river.
Three generations by the footbridge over the Soča
In 1962 Nona Marija started cooking for woodcutters and hikers in the house by the footbridge. Today her grandson Luka runs the kitchen and Ana welcomes the guests. We cook simply and with the seasons: the trout arrives in the morning, the cheese comes from the mountain pastures, and we pick the porcini ourselves. Whatever isn't from our valley comes from the next one.
Trout from the valley
It comes every morning from a nearby trout farm. We fry it whole in butter or smoke it ourselves.
Cheese from the mountain pastures
Tolminc from cow's milk and Bovec cheese from sheep's milk, made by cheesemakers on the pastures above the valley.
Wines from Brda and Vipava
Rebula and merlot from Brda, zelen and pinela from the Vipava Valley. Our house wine is also served by the glass.
Our two menus
Both menus change with the seasons. Every day we also cook à la carte dishes, written on the board by the door.

Where you'll sit
In summer on the terrace above the river, on cooler days by the fireplace, and larger groups at a long table in the dining room.
Terrace
Terrace above the Soča
The tables sit right above the river, looking out at the footbridge and Mt Krn. The terrace is open from May to October in good weather.
All year
The old house with a fireplace
Stone walls, a larch ceiling and a fireplace burning beech logs. The place to be when the evenings turn cool.
For groups
Dining room with a view
Wooden beams, big windows facing the river, and tables we join into one long table for larger groups.
Book a table
Tables fill up fast at weekends and on the terrace in summer, so we recommend booking a few days ahead.
