Gostišče Tolc

Visiting experience -2024

The restaurant is such that every town would immediately adopt it. But then it wouldn’t be Tolc, since it wouldn’t have an organic farm, 10 heads of cattle for the beef soup, hunters from the neighbouring village, home cooked food for the third millennium and 35 comfortable beds for an unforgettable alpine holiday.

Sorica

Tolc in the most beautiful Slovenian village – as the locals will tell you and as painted by its most famous son, the impressionist Ivan Grohar – is so culinary surprising that it even changes the myth about local inns that are supposed to not change.

Holidays on the farm

Tolc is many things. Therefore, he has to satisfy a variety of guests, which, of course, is not easy and simple. Tolc is a holiday organic farm visited by guests, literally, from all over the world.

3 hearts

When Primož Pintar says that the beef is hay-raised, from the local pasture or when it runs out from the Loška cooperative, it is not a modern statement, but a traditional taste! And when to this authenticity, which is, of course, not only the pride of beef, but practically (almost) all ingredients on an organic and self-sufficient farm, the owner of the farm adds his cooking knowledge, culinary curiosity and good food knowledge, simply good dishes with local tradition, the origin of the ingredients and the chef’s skill make it an excellent culinary experience
