Breakfast the next morning

The last week of my month long restaurant hop around Europe was in Northern Italy but began with a trip to Slovenia’s first two ⭐️ Michelin restaurant, number 38 on the World’s 50 Best restaurants list and subject of an episode of the Netflix show Chef’s Table back in 2016, or rather chef @anaros40 Ana Roš was the subject of the episode, @hisafranko , which is just a 20 minute drive across the Italian/Slovenian border.
Chef Ana Roš was also awarded the (slightly odd, a chef is a chef right?) World’s Best Female Chef title by the all knowing guys and girls at W50Best.
The food was excellent, using produce from within a few kilometres of the restaurant. But also interesting as the multi national kitchen brigade are all encouraged to bring their own influences to the menu so you have some very varied dishes with extreme identity to a country but using hyper local ingredients. The 11 course menu was really great and I found another sommelier that was trying to kill me with his double and sometimes triple pairings with each dish 🥴 (never complaining and Mirazur TAKE NOTE)
I stayed the night upstairs in one of their simple rooms and also had their breakfast the next morning. I guess I was expecting a lot more from the breakfast at a place like this. Something akin to the one at Faviken. Some used to say that the only reason to book a table for dinner at Faviken was because that’s the only way to have their breakfast.
Anyway, the breakfast was a disappointment but the dinner a triumph.
I recommend you visit Hisa Franko if you can.
