As if following the character and history of the house where he welcomes guests, he delights with directness and a hint of humour. His dishes have a similar character as well.
The Krhne Restaurant breathes life into the old house on the Main Square in Vipava, which, according to the locals’ memory, has always been a restaurant. As a tribute to the history of the house, they have retained the name, but the culinary atmosphere in today’s restaurant is completely different. They prepare traditional dishes in an original way and pair them with top-quality wines from local winemakers in a modern manner. Not only wines, but they also carefully select all the ingredients for the house’s food offerings in close collaboration with producers.
Chef Erik Žabar, a humorous local, ensures that a visit to his restaurant is a unique adventure. With his expertise as a seasoned sommelier and experience collaborating with the best Slovenian chefs, he has created an unparalleled atmosphere in his restaurant. He enhances the presentation of his house’s tradition-inspired dishes with such love, coupled with wine presentations, that the guest cannot remain indifferent. Authentic Vipava Valley experience in Erik’s way.
