A3 at Rajhenburg Castle – Modern Cuisine in Krško, Slovenia | Michelin Recommended 2026

A3: A Castle Setting for Modern Cuisine

Perched on a cliff above the Sava River, Rajhenburg Castle is the dramatic home of Restavracija A3. Here, the team has taken on the challenge of blending respect for the castle’s long history with a passion for creating complete culinary experiences. The result is a destination where modern cuisine and heritage meet, earning the restaurant a place among Michelin’s Recommended restaurants for 2026.

The restaurant’s story is rooted in a sense of place. The view over the Sava and the surrounding Posavje region is matched by an interior that invites guests to slow down and connect, evoking centuries of gatherings long before the age of screens.

Behind the experience is a dedicated team. Damjan Wallner leads the restaurant, bringing a career that has taken him from Slovenian hotels and restaurants to the decks of Mediterranean yachts, catering to discerning international guests. In the kitchen, Creative Chef Matjaž Hribar treats cooking as a way of life. His philosophy is simple: the guest decides. He builds his dishes around seasonally selected ingredients and local producers, ensuring the food reflects both the land and the moment. Barbara Hribar oversees the castle’s hospitality, greeting guests with a warmth that is both professional and genuinely welcoming.

The menu at A3 is driven by the seasons and the bounty of local growers, a hallmark of thoughtful modern cuisine. While the exact dishes change with the calendar, the approach remains constant: thoughtful, ingredient-led cooking served within ancient stone walls. It is a place where the past provides the setting, and the present provides the plate.
