Homely, yet very different
Four generations are involved in work on the farm and in the restaurant. Mother Mihela and father Jernej may have retired, but they are always on hand, just in case. Eco farm and in-house market means complete self-sufficiency. It’s just a stride or two from field to plate at Pri Mihovcu.
The still-warm flatbread has plenty of holes, a thin crust, a fragrant covering and plenty of pork cracklings. Everything here is home-grown or -reared, and isn’t just a little, but rather very different. All grains are from the family farm, hence all the pasta is dark because it’s made from wholegrain flour, even though there is only one grain, which is always white; something that the Mihovec family must constantly prove to city folk. There is a roast in the oven every day and liver has been a tradition here for over a century, even though Mihovec is proof that it’s not a family-run place as in the past, but rather that which it is now and will continue to be.
The experience of the last visit
Recommendation
It dates back to 1857, when it began making brandy and had a shop. The restaurant is next to a farm and in the middle of the village, so there’s nowhere so close to Ljubljana where you can savour a more authentic, family, hospitable farm, which has preserved everything old, many have already forgotten, yet added plenty of new, which brings worldliness and openness. At Pri Mihovcu it’s homely and family-like; the kitchen, waiting staff and the music band, as well as the farm, all the ingredients, the bar, the fireplace and at the tables, where you too will be at home.
Wine list
Mihovec’s wine stocks are not on an inn level, rather on an enthusiast’s level. Ask what they have open today and be guided by the in-house advice of one of the three wine sommeliers: Mojca Trnovec, Jernej Petač and Tomaž Trnovec
100+ wine labels
house winemakers: Gaube, Guerilla, Zarova
Ambience
The large terrace is new (2025), one can listen to locals putting the world to right whilst gathered around the wood-burning stove, there is a hall at the rear for large weddings, a dining room to the right for relaxed company and a small room to the left for special guests.
