Restaurant Planinka

Visiting experience -Visit 2021

The chef at Planinka cooks Zgornjesavinjski želodec (Upper Savinja pork stomach) in veal stock and pours potato soup over it, in which he has also cooked the local specialty, firovž – small dumplings made of pig’s blood and buckwheat flour – and the host in white gloves then adds a black truffle on top, which has been a household ‘sin’ at Planinka since his birth. And Ljubno is suddenly only 30 kilometres from the motorway.
