Galerija okusov

Visiting experience -Light lunch (2026)

The young team – chef Marko Magajne, sous chef Gašper Kačičnik – have potential in terms of the knowledge, support, location, ambition and diligence. The fact that he is still learning is a plus, and he is still discovering too, which gives him an advantage. Galerija okusov is somewhat different, due to its ambience and park, ideas and marketing, youthful ambition and team spirit. At the same time, however, one knows what you are getting – a contemporary culinary experience which is attractive and tasty, aromatic and floral, and made from locally sourced ingredients, all served on plates that are picture-perfect and with a story that has to be tasted.

Apéro

In winter. A light lunch. Two hours maximum. But as an experience! The first three requirements exclude the fourth. Unless we make an exception… Let it be noted, then, that it can be.
First a bite, a snack, like an apéro, a Jerusalem artichoke crisp with black trumpet powder, black apple gel and salt flower, with a sparkling aperitif.
