What does Ana Roš like to eat every day and how? This is JAZ (Me)! What do YOU like to eat every day and how? JAZ answers that question by saying that it is simply good – but with a chef who subordinates his knowledge to the wishes of guests and, above all, by Ana Roš, who doesn’t add her 3 Michelin Stars to the Waldorf salad, ceviche, roast beef, pasta, risotto, pastrami and Wiener schnitzel due to fame or vanity but rather due to our, and your hunger.

Why/therefore Wiener schnitzel?!

Chef Alex Iacoviello

JAZ by Ana Roš has a chef who has worked not only in Hiša Franko, but also in other top restaurants, and also a whole team that grew up in Hiša Franko. JAZ says that it is not fine dining, but at the same time he is also determined that it is not a bistro. JAZ is definitely for more than you would like every day.

Brasserie

Just like the dishes, the atmosphere of JAZ by Ana Roš is youthful and flourishing, nostalgic and elegant, comfortable and practical, full and intimate, hotel and brasserie, Slovenian and cosmopolitan, for 2, 4, 6, 10, for everyone. An important part of the ambience is also the music that accompanies the dishes and ensures a pleasant atmosphere.

Young dining

JAZ is a welcome revival of the Slovenian gastronomic scene, as it offers something new in a proven way; therefore, it is not a bistro because it is better, and it is not fine dining because it is not top class. “Young dining,” Ana would say, even though, or precisely because of, there is “room for everyone.”

Bread and butter

A large bouquet on a long table, napkins on uncovered marble, rich menus for simple dishes, high chairs behind a long bar, a serious wine list and cocktails for guests from all over the world… and at the beginning, bread from the Ana Bakery and butter from Kobarid.
