The story

Gostilna Pr'Kopač: Traditional Slovenian Dining in Brezovica

Tradition and the Kitchen

Established in 1848, Gostilna Pr'Kopač anchors the region's Slovenian cuisine in over 150 years of continuous operation. This family-run establishment in Brezovica maintains a menu that responds to the changing seasons while preserving time-honored techniques. The kitchen prepares daily specials alongside a core selection of dishes, ensuring consistency alongside variety. Guests find wines served openly, allowing for direct selection before each meal.

Signature Dishes and Regional Classics

Fried chicken functions here as a recurring event defined by texture and flavor. The preparation produces a crust that audibly cracks, enclosing meat that stays moist through every bite. This signature item complements substantial plates like braised pork knuckles and slow-roasted cuts. Traditional recipes remain vital, including žolca, a dense aspic, and rolled dough parcels called štruklji. These elements showcase the robust standards of Slovenian cooking practiced within these walls.

The Space and Pastry Counter

The dining rooms encourage a relaxed pace, welcoming visitors for both quick lunches and extended dinners. Interiors are kept comfortable, reflecting the inn's identity as a community gathering point. A dedicated café area offers fresh bread and pastries during morning hours, reinforcing the property's role as a daily stop. The dessert selection features homemade creations such as layered cream cakes, fruit strudels, and pancakes, rounding out the experience with sweet finishes.
