Lešnik's Land
The food is good at Lešnik! This has been known in Maribor for a long time, still, and widely.

Ajdovi ribanci

Roasted liver
Veal livers roasted on onions. What more could you want to add, because you don’t expect anything else from roasted livers – other than a hot pan, thinly sliced onions, fresh livers and a strong fire. Of course, there’s a pinch of chopped parsley and a pinch of kale on the side.
