Cuisine in Radovljica and its surroundings

Taste Radol'ca is a special culinary union. Excellent cooperation between partners is the number one reason for the 10+ years of local integration. Four of Radol’ca’s chefs tell us how and why they are so successful at what they do.

Not only can you discover Taste Radol'ca, which is Radovljica's culinary union, on the terraces and interiors of restaurants, but also at events in Radovljica. We found out why street food presents them with a special challenge.

Taste Radol'ca restaurants are distinguised by the excellent food, which is based on fresh, seasonal and locally produced ingredients. Read our chat with a local producer. 

This year's Month of Local Cuisine in Radol'ca will open with a new, boutique culinary experience named The Farmer's Table, at which the best of Radolca's chefs will pamper our tastebuds. 

Guests staying in accommodation that doesn't offer breakfast can choose from the wide selection of breakfasts available at restaurants and other providers in Radovljica, Lesce and Begunje.

We invite you to experience the hills and mountains in the Radol'ca area. And because we would like you to enjoy the views and mountain pastures with all your senses, we have put together some information about what food is available in the mountain huts in the surrounding area.

Get to know a town of chocolate. This guided experience includes visits to selected places connected with chocolate in the quaint town, as well as tasting of chocolates and other chocolate delights.

In the past, beans held a special place in the Radol'ca area and still do to this day. In the former ironworking villages of Kropa and Kamna Gorica, in addition to žganci (a polenta-like dish, most often made of buckwheat), one of the most traditional dishes is a bean soup called fržolovc. 

A visit to Linhart Hall by the food critics Uroš and Violeta Mencinger and a talk on the topic of quality criteria.

Saturday mornings are a great time to visit Radovjlica's the old town centre. The Radol'ca market, which takes place on the first Saturday in the month in the square in front of St. Peter's church, is an additional reason to visit.

As someone who works at home, when deciding to eat out, it’s as much about a change of scenery as it is about the food – though of course bad food with a good view doesn’t cut the mustard!
