Grič

Visiting experience -Visit 2024

Of course, even eleven courses won’t help bad chefs learn to cook better. To acquire such chef’s tricks its necessary to visit several courses, and in Luka Košir’s new kitchen, there is now enough room for them to do just that. But just one dinner is enough for gourmets to condone. If you want to really eat well, then don’t put up with bad food in simple restaurants! If you want to really enjoy your meal, always ask if the chef(s) has done an apprenticeship with Luka Košir at gostilna Griš. If they haven’t, then be sure to go there yourself!
