Michelin stars for Slovenian culinary creators

The most prestigious culinary guide has acknowledged the quality of Slovenian cuisine.

The Michelin awards are proof that Slovenia is a uniquely interesting gastronomic destination, offering a plethora of exceptional culinary experiences in excellent restaurants led by top chefs, who are masterfully combining Slovenian culinary traditions with modern trends in a sustainable way.

Michelin is distinguished by its 120-year tradition and its well-established rating system based on five criteria: the quality of the ingredients used, mastery of flavour and cooking techniques, the personality of the chef in their cuisine, the ratio of value for money and level of consistency between visits.

Michelin stars and awards are guarantees of top-quality cuisine:

three stars – exceptional cuisine, worth a special journey
two stars – excellent cooking, worth a detour
one star – high-quality cooking, worth a stop
Bib Gourmand – good value cooking
selected restaurants – good cooking
