This is the meal that we had been looking forward to for this whole trip. Hisa Franko is Slovenia’s only 3 Michelin star restaurnt and is considered one of the best in the world. If you havent seen it, Chef’s Table season 2 episoide 5 showcases the chef Ana Ros. It’s a pretty impressive story. She was planning to become a diplomat, but last second, just before she started the job, her husband inherited an old random restaurant and she decided to help him run it. Her parents disowned her for that. She became the chef there despite having zero culinary training and only having cooked at home. Over time, she taught herself and refined her technique and skills more and more, eventually earning the restaurant 3 stars and putting Slovenia on the world culinary map.
We arrived there at lunch on my birthday. We first got seated outside to have a nice drink and amuse bouche while taking in the beautiful scener around the property. Afterwards, we had a 15 course tasting menu. The good was so good! Each dish was beautifully presented and insanely flavorful. The food was very vegetable forward… there was ony one small piece of fish and 2 tiny pieces of deer out of all the courses, but the chef worked magic with those vegetables!!
