Dvor Jezeršek

Visiting experience -Two hearts for a taste of Slovenia(2025)

Jezeršek 360° are heartfelt stories of excellence, which are about respect for the past, present and future; full-flavour, aged Slovenian beef; Franci’s larder, featuring a range of dried meats produced with a love for quality and tradition by the family’s father, Franci Jezeršek; Slovenian potica with various fillings, which can also be made with mum of the family, Sonja Jezeršek, during one of her video workshops; or classic Kaiserschmarrn, albeit Jezeršek-style.

Two hearts

True Slovenian flavors in the embrace of the Kamnik-Savinja Alps at Dvor Jezeršek, where an old homestead has been transformed into a true manor (and center) of Slovenia’s culinary past and future, presenting Slovenian gastronomy in an original and modern way.

Placemat

Everything is as it should be, as the sun invites you to the courtyard of the Manor with the year 1768, where the garden tables do not need tablecloths, because the court coasters have crocheted whiteness, and the placemats have embroidered napkins and cutlery that invite you to more than just a quick snack. In the bread basket there are fresh buns, more or less white. The small plates quickly receive olive oil, “Carniolan” Monte Rosso.

Greetings

You don’t have to wait long for a greeting from the kitchen with sparkling wine. A ball of goat’s curd is rolled in pumpkin seeds, topped with a beetroot and strawberry cream; on a fried polenta crust, an asparagus spread is matched with a slice of smoked duck breast and a halved head of green asparagus.

Beef and wild garlic

English roasted sirloin, wild garlic mayonnaise, sweet and sour red onion, roasted hazelnuts, olive oil. Roast beef as a staple, because English roasted sirloin has always been the pride of “better” pubs.

Peas and radishes

Pea hummus, vegan bean mayonnaise, pickled radishes, buckwheat popcorn and thin slices of marinated kohlrabi. In one bowl, there is evidence that for “creative culinary experiences” cultural heritage alone is not enough, but a modern culinary upgrade is also necessary.

Chef's soup

Soup “prežganka”, dried porcini mushroom powder and garam masala, fried egg yolk in panko crumbs. When you taste Slovenia and its cuisine at Dvor, you are happy because it not only respects the past, but also teaches for the future.

Stuffed homemade pasta with curd and hazelnuts, crab sauce, prawns and scallops, crumbled mature cheese.
