Restaurant Sedem

Sedem (Seven) like winning the lottery

The crunchiness of miniature pea-, pepper- and lime-flavoured sculptures on buckwheat popcorn, on a wooden grill of herb polenta with a vegetable cover, steamed bun with a meatless centre on sesame, warm yolk in an egg shell and roasted pepper like grandma used to make … Nowadays, when everything is fast, cobbled together, as cheap as possible, made of paper, tasteless and only practical, walking into Sedem feels like a holiday as you are greeted at the door. Your coats are taken, you are shown to your table, your chair is pulled out and you are handed such a heavy wine list that you’re pleased the chairs are so comfortable, the tables are nicely laid, and you’re not wearing shorts.

Sedem’s restaurant style isn’t that of a classroom, because it doesn’t differ every year, but nevertheless it is also a classroom, because it teaches us – the guests – that food isn’t just about eating, and eating isn’t just about biting. In short, at Sedem you feel like you’re in a fancy restaurant, the kind that are no longer the latest (bistro-fast) fashion, but that’s exactly why we need them so much. That’s why Sedem is like winning the lottery for Maribor!
