Gostilna Cajnarje

🍽️ Cajnarje Restaurant – hidden gem! 😍🔥

Hidden among the hills of Notranj, a few kilometers from Cerknica, this restaurant is a true paradise for lovers of home-made, carefully prepared dishes with a modern touch.

✨ Menu that impressed us (€55 per person):

It started with a greeting with a playful combination of fried mlinci, which crunched under our teeth, and we smeared it with beetroot hummus.

Greetings in the restaurant are a real joy!

Eggs with trout and roe and homemade chicken pate, which was truly creamy and rich. Not to mention the combination of goat’s curd and beetroot – a real play of textures and sweet-salty notes.

🍲 A soup that warmed the soul – classic chicken soup with lingonberries and mushroom soup, just like grandma would have made it, but with a refined, even richer taste.

🥗 Side dishes and main courses that blew us away:

Chicory and potato salad – a classic Slovenian combination, but served with such a feeling that you could eat them as a main course.

Fried chicken, perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.

Veal shank that just melted in your mouth, with soft polenta and beetroot for the finishing touch.

Chocolate creation with cinnamon ice cream, where the melting texture of chocolate intertwined with warm winter spices.

Tiramisu, which was perfectly balanced – slightly sweet, creamy and refreshing.

🍷 What about drinks?

Gostilna Cajnarje is also famous for its excellent wine list, which includes natural and orange wines from renowned Slovenian winemakers (Renčel, Slavček, Štekar, Gravner and many others). In addition, you can also try homemade soft drinks, such as pear and apple juice and homemade elderberry syrup with lemon.
