Traditional Slovenian Dinner and Show

When I booked this experience I thought it might be a bit cheesy or a tourist trap, but I was wrong! The food was good, the schnapps was my favorite! Dragana, our hostess, was so warm and friendly and genuinely wants everyone to enjoy themselves. The dancers clearly love keeping the old traditions alive. The hat game was fun - I won another glass of schnapps! - and it was nice to participate with a diverse group of tourists from all over the world. Dragana explained some of Slovenian culture and the outfits the dancers were wearing. I can’t recommend highly enough!

Fun night of learning about Slovenian tradition, dancing and games. Fun for whole family. Highly recommend!

Amazing food! Amazing time! Learned about traditional Slovenian culture! Highly recommend! Would go again!

Altough I have complaints with the food served, particularly not properly cooked chicken pics, but I really liked the show.

The dinner was tasty and delicious, just perfect. The dancing was fun and we learned a good amount about the culture. You won't regret doing this, but you will if you miss it.

Great evening--small intimate group with lots of audience participation offered. Lovely people all around.

My husband is from Slovenia, so I thought he might find this a bit cheesy. However, we both enjoyed it immensely and would highly recommend the Traditional Slovenian Dinner to anyone!

A delicious taste of Slovenia, in one evening This was our first trip to Slovenia, and sadly, we only had one day - so we searched for a way to enjoy some of the local food and culture, in a fun, welcoming environment. Gostilna Sestica and the Traditional Slovenian Dinner and Show, turned out to be all we could have hoped for. We arrived early, walking from our hotel. Some places might have been stressed at the early arrival, but Matevs and company promptly seated us, bringing us our welcoming schnapps and wine. The event included those drinks, appetizers, salad, entree and dessert. However, as we had had a long day hiking to Bled Castle and driving from Venice, we ordered beer before the starting time.....again, everyone took our non-standard order in stride. So.....first the food: starting with mixed appetizers of two kinds of sausages, pickles, 2 cheeses, and bread - wonderful, flavorful and well presented. Then a salad - just the right size to cleanse the palate as well as fresh with some kind of grain topping barley perhaps? that was unusual and appetizing. Entree - well, I'm a Czech girl and the fried chicken tasted just like what grandma used to make - accompanied by an extremely tender slice of pork, with gravy and mashed potatoes. We both left as members of the clean plate club. Dessert was poached pear I believe in a red wine sauce but I could be mistaken with a wonderful custard. Bottom line, the food, presentation and service alone made our evening a hit. But.....then the entertainment and educational part of the evening hit it out of the park. Again Matevs stepped forward, this time as our master of ceremonies - introducing 3 pairs of dancers in traditional garb of a particular region as I recall, it was Krakow - Slovenia, not Poland describing the various articles of clothing and explaining a bit of the background. He did an exception job of informing without being pedantic and got everyone in the spirit of the moment. Truly a fine host. The dancers and accompanist who were all gifted performers demonstrated several styles of dance. However, another fun aspect of the evening was involving the guests to participate which was great fun for those performing as well as those observing. All in all, a wonderful evening

This was one of the best dinner and shows we have been to. Such a nice warm welcome with fruit and drinks, down to the singing and dancing. Love how they interacted with the guests and got everyone involved in the dancing. We had trouble with where the location was at. But I received both a call and email letting me know where we needed to be.

We felt that the restaurant was trying to rush things almost like they had a second sitting. The food was ok but not great although we did get enough food.
