Michelin Star Restaurants in Slovenia 2020
Hiša Franko with master chef Ana Roš received two Michelin stars. Five Slovenian restaurants received one star each, and even more Slovenian restaurants received Michelin awards.
Among the recipients of the BIB GOURMAND award are also the restaurants Gostilna Repovž from Šentjanž and Gostilna Rajh from Bakovci near Murska Sobota. We at the Slovenian American Business Association - SABA in Cleveland are especially proud of these two awards, as we have hosted Gostilna Rajh in Cleveland twice (November 2018 and November 2019, when we also welcomed Luka Dončić) and Gostilna Repovž once in February 2020, when we greeted Goran Dragić among other events.
