Slovenian cuisine

Slovenia is an extraordinary geographical crossroads: it has the Alps and the Adriatic Sea, the Pannonian Plain and the Karst. It has extensive forests and thousands of hill vineyards. It has rivers and lakes with indigenous animal species. As well as this natural diversity, it is a European cultural crossroads where the Slavonic, Germanic, Romance and Finno-Ugric worlds all meet. Special natural characteristics and historical contact with other nations can also be tasted in its cuisine. Slovenia has created its own culinary specialities by preserving its own cuisine and giving a distinctly Slovenian twist to much that it has imported from elsewhere.

Since the end of September 2011, restaurants that satisfy the strict rules and criteria of the trademark have been marked with uniform restaurant signs and boards, the mark of the new trademark. But this concerns only those restaurants that satisfy the rules and criteria for obtaining this mark and trademark. They must satisfy the conditions as regards external and internal arrangement of rooms, while in their offer, the food of the house, local and regional dishes prevail, as well as appropriate food and food products of local producers, food with protected appellation of origin, organic food, appropriate music scenery, service methods, and a variety of other components that contribute to the justification of use of the trademark and Gostilna Slovenija brand. The Gostilna Slovenija project was carried out by the Section for Hospitality and Tourism at the Chamber of Craft and Small Business of Slovenia.
