Hiša Franko Restaurant

How to do Hiša Franko justice in a short paragraph? This is the house where Hemingway wrote A Farewell to Arms. It’s rated among the 50 Best restaurants in the world. The world’s best female chef Ana Roš prepares unmistakably masterful dishes from all-local flora and fauna. Let’s just say this: in a small country with an abundance of world-class restaurants, this is the only one where you need to reserve your spot over a year in advance.

Hiša Franko dues its existence to traditions and local environment of the Situated in the foothills of the breathtakingly beautiful Soča Valley, Hiša Franko embodies the characteristics of its natural surroundings: rugged, remote, yet unfathomably spectacular. And their cuisine is unbelievable!

The local diet in this area has always consisted of dairy- and meat-based products, so expect a lot of cheese in all its forms and by-products. The restaurant works closely with the local community of foragers, shepherds, cheesemakers, hunters and fishermen. The region is teeming with trout, deer, goats, fruits and wild plants – all are incorporated into their fabulous dishes.

In June 2020, with the first edition of Slovenian Michelin guide was released, Hiša Franko received two Michelin stars. Imagine that? Or rather don’t – just visit and taste for yourself!

The service provided by this company is first class. Our agent, Marusa was superb in terms of her communication, her suggestions and recommendations and brilliant organisation of our trip. Had we tied to organise for ourselves we would almost certainly have missed things out through lack of knowledge. Everything worked so well that we were able to make the most of our first wonderful visit to this beautiful, friendly and hospitable country. We loved it.

Slovenia Holidays / World Discovery ( travel agent Grega) arranged a one week travel program for us in Slovenia, combining our own wishes of some hiking and nature experiences, some sea-, city- and country-side visits and his own suggestions (Ljubljana food tour, Planina cave spelunking with personal guide, etc.). The process around customising the itinerary and perfecting it went very smooth. He arranged tickets, guides and a rental car, all accessible through a neat app, and the plan turned out to fit very well, including a rental car upgrade to accommodate larger then anticipated suitcases. We had not heard so much about Slovenia beforehand, but it is amazing, as are its people, food, culture and not least its diverse nature, its exceptional gorges and caves.

Slovenia Holidays did a fantastic job in putting together an eight-day, tailor-made tour for our small group. We had an amazing time and highly enjoyed all elements of our trip – including tour of Ljubljana, gorge hiking, visiting Slovenia’s famous caves, alpine views, hot air balloon ride, beautiful coastal town of Piran and, of course, delicious food and wine 😊. Our holiday agent – Grega - was a pleasure to work with and ensured our holiday covered the key locations and experiences Slovenia has to offer. The tour was a perfect introduction of Slovenia – beautiful and diverse country. We enjoyed everything, well organised and felt in safe hands. Our guide – Sanda - was a good match for us and tuned into our relaxed attitude. We would highly recommend Slovenia Holidays to anyone wishing to discover and explore real Slovenia.

Our private Hike and Bike tour was nothing short of amazing! We had a fantastic holiday, and Tomaz, our guide, went out of his way to ensure everything went smoothly. He was knowledgeable, punctual, entertaining, reliable, experienced... the perfect guide! It was a pleasure to indulge in such a breathtakingly beautiful country. Thank you, Ivana and Grega, for arranging our trip professionally and efficiently.
