Slovenian Guesthouse Dining

GOSTILNA RUPA
Near Lake Bohinj is the restaurant Rupa, which is both typical of Slovenia's wonderful roadside dining places, and yet exceptional. We found it so because of the many such places we enjoyed, this was our favorite. As you can see, flowers abound, the view from the terrace is over the tranquil fields, horses and cows in the distance. And the home cooked Slovenian dishes were superb. One lunch consisted of homemade karst ham with fresh grated horseradish, roasted pork, Slovenian buckwheat raviolis stuffed with farm fresh cottage cheese, local wine by the liter, coffee and typical fresh berry pie. The temperature was in the mid-seventies, sunny skies and just a glorious outdoor dining experience.
