The best French cuisine restaurants Northwest

This restaurant doesn't look good from the outside, but once you're at the table, you don't regret walking through the door! You can choose from Bovec's specialities but also more classic dishes such as pizzas or fish. You will also find on the menu a very good choice of local wines. You can choose to settle in the garden, in the shade. Theme days are often organized by the managers of the place, as well as excursions to the Kilc distillery. In short, a rather appetizing price/quality ratio!

This family-run guesthouse with a long tradition, since 1986, welcomes you in a rustic room full of charm. The chef, who is also the proprietor, offers traditional, local cuisine at low prices and with delicious flavors. Our favorites include grilled trout and veal blanquette with buckwheat and baby vegetables. A sommelier will be happy to advise you on the wines. Portions are large, so you won't necessarily need dessert to round off your meal. Attractive summer terrace with panoramic views.

Bled Castle is visible from almost anywhere, sharing the limelight with the famous island with its emblematic church. What could be more epic and memorable than enjoying an exceptional meal in this historic setting? And, of course, the food here is as good as it gets. The view is breathtaking, but so is the sequence of flavors on the palate! The seasonal menu is regularly renewed with a small selection, a guarantee of freshness and perfect mastery of each plate. Once in a life time, as they say!

The reputation of the hotel's restaurant continues to soar since chef Jože Godec came here to sharpen his knives. His cuisine is generous, inspired by the region's terroir and its essential ingredients such as cottage cheese, horseradish, buckwheat, pumpkin seed oil... Portions are not minimalist and echo the place's sense of welcome. The atmosphere is intimate, with a selection of Slovenian wines that promise to make your taste buds soar. In summer, it's possible to dine by the river: the perfect romantic setting!

From the outset, entirely devoted to the promotion and presentation of typical Slovenian cuisine, Dvor Jezeršek has claimed the prestigious title of "Taste of Slovenia-Culinary Centre". There are two kitchens on site: the restaurant, which offers carefully crafted, aesthetically pleasing dishes with authentic flavours thanks to local ingredients such as game, trout and fresh cheese from neighbouring farms, and the academy, which trains individuals, professionals and even children, because the passion for good food starts early!

This is the gourmet restaurant of the prestigious Grand Hotel Toplice in Bled. Awards are pouring in for chef Simon Bertoncelj. The Michelin Guide and Gault et Millau have been raving about him for several years now. His cuisine is a fusion of French savoir-faire and local Slovenian ingredients. There's no room for simplicity for this perfectionist chef, who likes to challenge himself and multiply flavors and textures to achieve sophisticated results and astonishing combinations. He's even mastered pastry-making, which is rare!

New at the end of 2023, it offers a softly-priced menu that's sure to please everyone! There are well-stocked burgers, including a vegan one for less than €10, as well as gourmet sandwiches with beef, fried onions, mustard and arugula, salads and, above all, pinsa romana , which are lighter and crispier than traditional pizza, topped with quality ingredients. In short, this is an address for the whole family, pleasant for the wallet and boasting a lovely summer terrace. We recommend it!

With its Michelin-starred status, Vila Podvin occupies a prime position on the region's culinary scene. It's the place to come for a special occasion or a romantic moment. Experienced waiters, silverware and white tablecloths are the order of the day. Dishes are brought to the table with impeccable presentation and a diverse choice of crockery to sublimate the chef's talent. Each dish is a demonstration of refinement and poetry. You can extend the experience by spending the night in one of the suites.

The name Sonet is no accident. In the heart of the town where the famous Slovenian poet France Prešeren was born, it's a small tribute to him, but also a nod to the poetry on our plates. The Hotel Actum's restaurant offers elegant, tasty European cuisine, which has delighted the locals who frequent the place, especially at lunchtime, for its daily specials at reasonable prices. The atmosphere is very rococo, in keeping with the hotel's image, but the quality/price ratio makes it a real bargain for a tasty lunch at a modest price.
