Danilo gostilna & vinoteka

Three generations of Danilo

In such traditional restaurants one first thinks: “How long has it been since I’ve been here?!” Because we go there for beef soup with homemade noodles and house steak but then always order something different, as having read the tasting menu, it’s too tempting. Too often we are hungry, too rarely are we also curious!

But why would one do that in Danilo? Because contemporary chefs deconstruct food in such a way that one just wants a simple stew with Carniolan sausage. Next in turn is the neighbour’s curd cheese, local cheeses, grandpa’s favourite dish and local ‘poor man’s’ food. Would we still be able to eat traditional Škofja Loka dishes, such as medla (millet stew), smojka (turnips and millet), mešta (potatoes and polenta) and other such forgotten dishes, if it wasn’t for Gostilna Danilo? Don’t be dubious about truffles, because they don’t come into their own until they are incorporated into ancient mešta potatoes and polenta at Danilo!

The new generation at Danilo has retained the memories of the first and the signature of the second, while adding the youth, entrepreneurship and knowledge of the third generation, which continues to maintain the values of traditional cuisine using the best local ingredients and adding new creativity and a new experience. Gostilna Danilo is a new experience of the rich Škofja Loka culinary tradition, featuring old recipes, new ideas and the best wines.
