Vila Planinka

Visiting experience -Visit 2021

We live life in the fast lane. We work too much. We are glued to our devices non-stop. And we are sure that this is natural… However, nature is found where the climate comes from a glacier, where water can be drunk direct from a spring, where doors open using an iron key, and where the lights are switched off prior to a good night’s sleep! Because you can then dream in peace about the evening experience in the company of the chef and his wine assistant!

Bread and butter

Vila Planinka, maslo

Greetings from the kitchen

Watermelon with homemade smoked cottage cheese, roasted pine nuts, chili oil and mint is refreshing. Buckwheat mass with warm home-made cracklings and coarsely chopped walnuts is warm and caressing.

Burnt trout

Poached and lightly roasted trout float in buttermilk, along with refreshing marinated cucumber, trout caviar and nasturtium leaves.

Vila Planinka, pinjenec in ožgana postrv

Medvedova zaseka

Poširan brancin je polnjen z medvedovo zaseko in ocvirki! Pusto ribje meso, ki pa je zaradi poširanja ostalo sočno, in groba, surova, poudarjena medvedova maščoba, ki pa je zaradi vinske spremljave in chefovih dodatkov (drobnjak, čebulna marmelada, okisana rumena koleraba, sveža grenivka) prav krotek in zelo eleganten farce (sesekljana zmes za nadev). Spopad, ki se izkaže za objem. Strah pred medvedom, ki se razblini v uživanje v morju.

Cottage cheese struklji

Cottage cheese štruklji with hazelnuts, roasted and in cream, pickled porcini mushrooms and tea dashi.

Vila Planinka, skutni štrukelj in jezerski čaj

Pork fillet

Pork fillet wrapped in bacon and topped with marinated green apple, onion puree and demi glace sauce

Chocolate terrine

Chocolate terrine, pudding cream, ice cream and chocolate crumble.

Vila Planinka, čokoladna terina

Wine pairing

Wines in Vila Planinka are an integral (not accompanying) part of the dish, so we hope that this wine accompaniment will inspire another Slovenian sommelier.
