Galerija okusov is a new experience on the Slovenian map, inviting their guests into the embrace of the Savinja valley. At the front of the restaurant proudly stands a mighty Baroque park, one of the few still preserved in Slovenia where merely sitting is a true experience – at the edges there are gardens which are intended for visitors to use to spice up their dish to their taste. Even when entering the interior of Galerija okusov, the connection with nature is not lost; on the contrary, it you every step of the way. Small pots filled with fresh herbs, wicker baskets with planted salad vegetables, fresh flowers in test tubes, massive oak furniture, and the smell from the kitchen which you in greeting. Everything is local, Slovenian, as is also the setting – simple, without excessive decoration. An overview of the menu convinces you of just that. It is designed and provides memories of grandmother’s kitchen, yet the tastes are surprising. The service is elegant but unobtrusive; it is all about a relaxed conversation with the staff and chef, who make an effort to personally greet every guest and chat with them. Taste buds explode at the very first bite of the homemade bread fresh from the oven. Just when you think you have experienced everything, you are surprised by the service. Plates are swiftly replaced with natural materials such as bark, creek stone, and once again a direct connection with nature is made.
