Hiša Denk
One Michelin star. Chef Gregor Vračko creates seasonal tasting menus using ingredients from Styria.
Located in the wine village of Zgornja Kungota, about 10 km north of Maribor, this family-run restaurant has operated since 1972. It holds one Michelin star and four toques from Gault&Millau. There is no à la carte menu; guests choose a five- or seven-course tasting menu that changes with the seasons and often features Mangalica pork, local trout and lamb. The cooking is creative and richly flavoured, and a vegetarian menu is available. It is well regarded for value among comparable restaurants in Slovenia. Reservations are required, and some weekdays are closed. The restaurant also has guest rooms, and driving is the most convenient way to get there.
Opening hours
Thursday to Sunday lunch and dinner; mostly closed Monday to Wednesday. Check the official website for reservations.
