Gostilnica Barba

Dolenjska tapas for gourmets and sportspeople

Chef:Dejan Šeško


Sharing

Gostilnica Barba is a food restaurant, which merely uses its close proximity to a shopping centre and sports park as a practical location. Its name is that of an old fishermen, so you are quickly reminded of him when you again sense an extreme urgency to share food, tastes, satisfaction, joy and new culinary experiences.

Want to savour food alongside wine and conversation, as a pair or in company? You get a table full of cold starters to share. Are you short of time but hungry? You get pasta, but not like you get everywhere else. Having problems choosing? Of course, steaks are on offer too. Are you ravenous? Choose as many courses as you can manage or opt for a main meal of the size you want. Fancy something sweet? You can get dessert immediately or wait for 15 minutes. Want something that’s available everywhere? You can get that too, albeit Barba-style.

Based on the location, Gostilnica Barba satisfies a lot of tastes, desires, needs and opportunities, but in terms of quality, it still succeeds in being a restaurant that teaches Novo mesto’s locals how lovely, tasty and good it is to share at the table.

Recommendation

Quote

You don’t even notice the exterior of Gostilnica Barba, since all you can see is a shopping centre and sports park. This isn’t a fine dining location! But then when you enter Barba’s dining room, you don’t notice the shabby-chic tables and chairs because your attention is first drawn to the refined tableware. It makes for a tasty invite, which, in fine weather, is the same on the hospitable terrace. In fact, everyone feels comfortable here; sports fans after a match, shoppers after shopping, theatregoers and foodies. The password to order: Dolenjska tapas.
