Gostilna Repolusk

Visiting experience -Mislinjski okusi chefa Janeza (2024)

Gostilna Repolusk is an old roadside restaurant, albeit with a chef who, behind the century-old front door, and with fine tableware, serves the best Pohorje stew and the most ambitious village lunch. And for a longer break, a tasting menu of the tastes of Mislinja. Gluten-free dishes are among Repolusk’s specialities, which are equally as delicious and of the same high quality.

Chef Janez

When Chef Janez pours the herb sauce from a decanter horn around the smoked red cabbage, apologizing that he unfortunately didn’t have any pine needles this time, so he used Scots pine needles from Pohorje for the smoking, you look at the calendar to see if you’ve missed anything. What event are we celebrating today?

Feel Mislinja

The tradition of charcoal grilling is still present in Mislinja, so Repolusk’s bread is black from real Mislinja charcoal, which he ground to create an exemplary local ‘souvenir’. It is traditional, local and authentically imaginative and chef style bread with charcoal, mayonnaise with pumpkin oil, cracklings, pickled onions in beetroot juice, dried yellow rose leaf.

A walk through the home garden

Rolls of kohlrabi pickled with various types of vinegar are strung between the cabbage like a rose flower, there is lemon caviar on a hard boiled quail egg, and the whiteness of the plate is caressed by the contrast of wild garlic powder.

Pohorje pot

In this Repoluskov pot from Pohorje and its forests, there is that real aftertaste that distinguishes this traditional dish, in terms of aroma in the nose, feel on the tongue and taste in the memory, not only from barley, but from all other similar soups, which can be made with whatever is currently at hand. Pohorje pot is an example!

What grows and breeds in our environment

Stuffed pork belly with dried apples, celeriac puree, parsley chips, Sauvignon wine reduction sauce.

The dish is challenging for an appetizer, but it is autumnal and Carinthian.

Daily special: mushroom soup

Mushroom soup, buckwheat popcorn and dried flowers. Perhaps, when it’s already noon, someone may think that Repolusk is too elaborate for lunch and chooses a too urban plate for the soup. But, since you only have to try it, everything else no longer matters – this soup is a real mushroom soup!

Daily offer: Deer fillet

Deer fillet, red wine sauce with forest fruits, porcini mushrooms polenta, caramelized chestnuts, popcorn, forest fruit espuma. Everything from the forest!
