A welcome before the meal

Before dinner is served, guests are handed a homemade schnapps alongside dried fruit — a welcome ritual rather than part of the three courses proper, and one that's poured as the folk group greets arriving guests at the door. If you'd rather not drink, a non-alcoholic alternative is offered in its place.

Three courses, one shared structure

Every version of the menu — traditional, vegetarian or vegan — follows the same shape: a starter with homemade bread, a main course, a mixed salad with buckwheat kasha, and a traditional dessert. What changes between them is the main course itself, not the rhythm of the meal.

The traditional main

The standard menu's main course is a pork roast served in a peasant-style sauce, or chicken with potatoes — a home-style, hearty plate rather than a fine-dining presentation, in keeping with the evening's village-table framing.

Vegetarian and vegan versions

The vegetarian main swaps in homemade Slovenian pasta with a vegetable filling, while the vegan version is a Slovenian-style risotto built with seasonal vegetables. Both need to be picked when you reserve, since the kitchen isn't offering an on-the-night switch.

Wine, and what replaces it

Dinner comes with a glass of local red or white wine, or a non-alcoholic drink for guests who'd rather skip it.

Other dietary needs

Beyond the vegetarian and vegan options, gluten-free, lactose-free and comparable diets are accommodated at no extra charge when you give advance notice. Halal, kosher and other special menus can also be arranged, for a surcharge — worth flagging early rather than assuming it can be sorted on the night.
