The story
Lokanda Devetak has been a presence in San Michele del Carso since 1870. The Devetak family runs the restaurant and guesthouse as an extension of their home, with no separation between work and life. “We are the loyal custodians of the Karst traditions, which we pair with innovative ideas,” they say. This philosophy is evident in every aspect of the experience, from the welcoming dining rooms to the carefully curated cellar and the surrounding landscape. The guesthouse allows visitors to fully immerse themselves in this unique corner of Italy.
The cooking at Lokanda Devetak is firmly rooted in the Karst terroir. The family’s dedication to the land is matched by a spirit of invention, resulting in dishes that respect local ingredients while exploring new techniques. A laboratory on site suggests a continuous search for refinement, always within the context of the region. The wine list, noted for its interesting selections, complements the menu and reflects the cellar’s careful curation. The cuisine is a true expression of the Karst.
Lokanda Devetak holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand, awarded for good quality, good value cooking. In 2024, it also received the Falstaff Award with 91 points and the Stella Verde Michelin, underscoring its commitment to sustainable gastronomy. The Green Michelin Star, awarded in 2023, further highlights the restaurant’s environmental responsibility. These accolades reflect the family’s consistent effort to honour both tradition and the future.
The restaurant offers lunch and dinner, with outdoor seating for warmer months and air-conditioned interiors. An osteria is open on weekends for a more casual experience. The guesthouse provides accommodation for those who wish to linger. Lokanda Devetak is more than a meal; it is a place where the rhythms of the land and the table are one.
