Slovenian chef Ana Roš has opened her flagship restaurant, Hiša Franko, with a brand new menu. It is presented after months of lockdown in isolation with her team, and it is an accomplished display of local, seasonal and foraged ingredients expertly worked into a fine-dining experience.
Fresh from becoming the first restaurant in Slovenia to receive two Michelin stars, and sitting at no.38 on the World's 50 Best Restaurants list, Hiša Franko is looking towards a bright future of gastronomy in a country that is seeing its food culture and cuisine thrive after years of under-appreciation. Have a look at the dishes from the Hiša Franko menu below.
