Visiting experience -Between the most beautiful river and the highest waterfall (2025)

For international guests and an international hotel experience next to Slovenia’s most beautiful river and highest waterfall, locality means that čompe (potatoes), which are traditionally served with Bovec curd cheese, are also served with apricots, Bovec dumplings are salty rather than sweet, local trout is served on a bed of vegetable salad, well-aged Posočje beef rump steak is served with vegetables from the hotel garden, and with desserts, guests on the hotel terrace have the most beautiful view of the Soča Valley.

Beef carpaccio

Carpaccio of aged beef, mayonnaise with black garlic (from Tolmin), goat cheese (organic farm Cuder), pickled radishes, dried tomatoes, toasted bread and pickled red cabbage on mayonnaise.

UME

Čompe

Čompe, boiled and baked potatoes, Bovec cottage cheese, apricots cooked in orange juice, saffron and honey, parsley oil, pistachios, dried herbs and flowers from the garden.

Pad Thai

Pad Thai with chicken, cucumber and lime. Wok-fried rice noodles with chicken (instead of shrimp) are one of the most popular Vranješ/Boka dishes.

Bovški krapi

Bovški krapi, actually krafi, but not sweet, but savory, with crispy pancetta (Kragelj butchery), topped with brown butter, in which the sage has also been crispy fried; for a contrasting accompaniment, pickled beetroot (from last year). Shape like krafi, but filled not with tepka pear, but with cottage cheese (Planika dairy).

Brine trout

Red trout from the Tolmin fish farm Libo, pickled in brine for 24 hours with the addition of gin, lemon, lime and orange, smoked yogurt (Ostan), zucchini noodles, arugula microgreens and red pepper oil.

UME

Grilled trout

Grilled trout fillet with fried sage, vegetable and fruit salad (zucchini, carrots, lettuce, blackberries), yogurt sauce with lime, mint and lemon balm. Trout baked to a skin that is crispy enough to reign over a salad that is vegetable-rich enough to not make the dish generically boring.

Aged rump steak

Rump steak (aged for 4 weeks, meat from KZ Tolmin), candied potatoes, pickled carrots with orange and star anise, peas from “our garden”. Very meat-correct!

UME

Tiramisu

Tiramisu, caramelized walnuts rolled in cocoa, topped with raspberries and mint leaves.

Chocolate mousse

Chocolate mousse with salted caramel, chocolate crumble on the bottom, crispy biscuit with orange and sesame on top.
