With sheep and cattle on its mountain pastures providing a rich variety of meat and dairy products, the Mediterranean bursting with fresh seafood and gastronomic influences from the Balkans, Austria and Italy, Slovenian cuisine, which absolutely must be tried when you're visiting, there's no such thing as food that could be called truly Slovenian. One thing that is unique however is the gostilna, the traditional, rustic, family-owned inn providing affordable and honest homemade food as good as anything made at home.
