Hotel Plesnik

Visiting experience -2024

Open your eyes. Open the curtains. And look to the end of the world… Because this is merely the start of today’s wonderful day. A day that wouldn’t have been if you hadn’t admitted to yourself that you, too, sometimes need a quick, active, relaxing and enjoyable break. If you weren’t to go for dinner at the end of this stunning valley, you wouldn’t know that – after wild garlic biscuits, lovage štruklji and Solčava curd cheese (in the evening), as well as Plesnik’s cured meats (in the morning) – such great experiences await.

Hotel

The Plesnik family has lived in the Logar Valley since 1426. The first family hotel was opened by Franc Plesnik in 1932. The current hotel was renovated for the first time in 1995, the second time in 2016. At that time, it also received the prestigious Luxury Travel Guide award for the best boutique hotel in the world.

Logarska dolina

Peel off your eyes. Pull back the curtains. Open the windows. Breathe with full lungs. And look around to the end of the world… Because this is just the beginning of the experiences of today’s wonderful day.

Amuse-bouche

With amuse-bouche, the chef introduces himself, how he thinks, what he knows, and how he will proceed.

Zander, charred leeks and herbs.

Deer tartar on rice chips is enhanced by ‘forest’ jam, which reminds us where we are – in the middle of still natural nature.

A cube of tlačenka topped with baked apple cream and a fried parsley leaf.

Lamb

Lamb, buckwheat, baked onion in dark beer, sour milk gel, buckwheat popcorn. Less is more, or rather a few elements on the plate, which is why there is so much more flavor in the mouth.

Sweet

The honey cake with cinnamon cream is filled with apples, and the cheese sponge cake is filled with blueberries. But the favorite is still, for decades, an apple strudel  with sweet curd and and fried breadcrumbs in butter.
