The best restaurants in the world are those such as Hiša Franko, because they have such high ambitions, first-class service, such excellent presentation (the food), such a creative team (in the kitchen), and offer guests an experience full of enjoyment. There are no other restaurants in Slovenia where it is so necessary to just surrender yourself! Just an advance warning, so that you will find it easier to enjoy the experience even more!

Nature

The waiter brigade is dressed in uniforms designed from ecological fabrics by Matea Benedetti (Benedetti Life), and the patterns in natural paintings on them are painted by Bojan Ceglar. Each jacket has its own symbol, and they all take part in the show, which therefore takes place not only in your mouth, but also in front of your eyes. Nice!

Reincarnation

Reincarnation – the name of the current menu of the House of Franko – happens so that the old is not born again, but the new is born again… What was valid, namely, is no longer valid!

Aperitif

The first stop is on the terrace by the meadow. Own beer Feo, pet-nat Mufi (Keltis), sparkling wine Bjana brut, Šumenjak sauvignon, kombucha, peach iced tea, house cocktails…
