The MICHELIN Guide Slovenia - Gostilna Krištof: good, beautiful and sustainable!
Gostilna Krištof is a family-run establishment approximately thirty minutes from Ljubljana. In the village of Predoslje, in the heart of Gorenjska, in one of the finest examples in the area of a Gostilna (traditional Slovenian restaurant) and its hospitality. This you can see on parking your car outside the fine villa housing the restaurant, with the green of the arbor cooling the summer outdoor area, but also on entering where old family photos peer from the walls, while the wood tables, covered with white tablecloths, are a prelude to a decidedly engaging experience.

All over the world, the authentic spirit of a city lives and reveals itself along the banks of its river. And that applies even more so to Belgrade. Two rivers flow through it, the Sava and the Danube, and it seems the Celts founded it precisely at their confluence, such that still today the Serbian capital is called “the gateway to the Balkans”.
