Gostilna Čubr Moste: Fourth-Generation Traditional Slovenian Cooking

Four generations at the stove

Gostilna Čubr in Moste anchors its reputation on traditional Slovenian cuisine, welcoming guests across four generations of the Potočnik family since 1934. Luka Potočnik stands behind the stove today, continuing a culinary path his grandmother Ivanka once walked while playing the accordion for diners. His mother Anita contributes her expertise to the sweet course, keeping the spirit of Slovenian cooking alive through every service.

Creative takes on regional staples

The kitchen introduces relaxed, creative touches that earned a Gault&Millau score of 14 without losing sight of heritage. A standout plate pairs seasonal chanterelles with potatoes and eggs, bound together by mayonnaise infused with pumpkin seed oil. Guests often return for the barley risotto loaded with porcini mushrooms, black truffles, and smoked cheese. The menu also features sautéed veal liver and daily selections like rich beef soup or crispy fried chicken.

Bread, wine, and seasonal sweets

Every meal begins with a basket of fragrant, freshly baked bread featuring variations topped with cracklings, roasted onion, or tomato and cheese. Light curd cheese dressed with herbs and pumpkin seed oil sets the tone before the main courses arrive. The wine list runs extensive, with staff selecting pairings that complement the Slovenian dishes rather than serving as an afterthought. For dessert, creamy cheesecake topped with figs and rosemary foam rounds out the seasonal experience.
