19/01/2026: An unprecedented culinary experience...this was my first time at Lokanda Devetak. I had lunch there with my family and we were all satisfied. The place is warm and welcoming; as soon as you enter, you're enveloped in a homely, family-like atmosphere, reminiscent of times gone by. You can immediately sense from the delicate and inviting aromas wafting from the kitchen that excellent dishes await you. In fact, each menu item is better than the last, each one more inviting. What stands out most, and what we truly appreciate, is the attention to using local products and the original, elaborate, and meticulously prepared recipes. The wine selection is extensive and excellent, and we enjoyed the clear and passionate advice provided by the managers and waiters.
Everything we ate, from appetizer to dessert, was excellent: warm, authentic, and balanced in flavor and texture... cotechino meatballs, liver, a platter of cured meats, palacinke flan with pumpkin cream, fussili with sausage and cave cheese, ossobuco, rabbit, traditional desserts, coffee...
A round of applause and thanks to everyone for this culinary experience in a place I highly recommend.
PS: Also noteworthy is the fact that many Slow Food Presidia are used, and you can purchase their typical products and even the wine bottled especially for the restaurant.
12/01/2026: A welcoming and elegant venue.
From the moment we were welcomed, it was clear what we were in for...
We chose two appetizers (a plate of cured meats and a cream of mushroom soup) accompanied by two glasses of white wines (Vitovska and Malvasia).
We moved on to the main courses (beef tripe and sautéed rabbit) accompanied by two glasses of red wines (Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso and a Cabernet Franc).
The dinner concluded with dessert: "Kraško pecivo" (a typical Karst cake with raisins and walnuts and cinnamon ice cream).
Everything we tasted was a delight.
The welcome was superb...it was our first time, but we were welcomed as if we were regular customers.
The prices were in line with the EXCELLENT quality offered.
We will return to try other delicacies.
Congratulations to whoever created this wonderful place.
A well-deserved Michelin Green Star!!!
