Tasting on the freshwater terrace

Why is maritime Slovenia full of lakes and rivers, yet the sea has only a short coastline, but a too long menu?!

However, the time came for change – a new name, a new owner, a new chef and a new sommelier, for the park to fill up first, for the restaurant to have a beer garden, and for the terrace above the pond to finally smell of fresh water.

That is why a visit to the Preserje ponds actually begins with ’dissatisfaction’. How is it possible that there is so little seafood in a seafood restaurant?! But it quickly turns into satisfaction, because on the freshwater terrace you’re not on a coastal holiday, but rather on a tasting trip! Come to the park by the Savinja river, walk around the lakes in Preserje, quench your thirst in the beer garden and become curious about what smells so good from the new pans upstairs in the restaurant.
