i am totally amazed of todays experience in this charming restaurant. The chef came to every table, chatted and took orders.
the staff is totally professional, friendly and have a smile in their faces.
the location is amazing. cant wait to be there in summer time to sit outside and enjoy the view over the vipava valley
it was not a problem to bring my dog wilma with me.
the quality of food you get offered is amazing. every dish is like a piece of art.
last but not least - the prices are more than acceptable. it is more than in normal restaurants bur if you go for slow food and high end you would expect minimum twice the amount.
all in all a perfect time there. that is why we immediatelly made a reservation for my bday kn june.

My wife and I stayed in Majerija for one night while visiting the Vipava region. We had a tasting menu with wine pairings while there. We would highly recommend it and would love to go back.
The restaurant is in the small village of Slap. There isn't much in the village other than a few houses. Majerija sits overlooking the village and valley. The rooms are underground, which keeps them cool. We visited in the height of a heatwave and the rooms were comfortable. The room was spotless, nicely designed and had a lovely shower.
The restaurant seemed to be fully booked. Everyone was seated inside because they were afraid of rain coming that evening. I gather that on clear evenings you can sit outside. We had a tasting menu which was just delicious. There was a range of fish, meat and vegetable dishes. Where possible they try to use local ingredients. We could hear other tables in the room adapting the menu to dietary requirements so you can do this if you wish. We went with the wine pairings which were all Slovenian wines and complemented the meal well.
The one night stay, with the tasting menu, wine and a bottle of wine that we bought there came to 240e. So not a cheap meal but certainly worth it in my book. I hope to be back again.

Tom and I went to visit the Vipava Winery during our travels through Croatia and Slovenia a couple of months ago. Boy, do they ever know how to do a wine tasting!!
First we toured the shop and saw the many types of wine that Vipava makes.
Next we went into the beautiful gostlina(restaurant) next door. The room is oval and lovely. The private tables for tasting face the center of the room. We were told to select any two bottles that we wanted to taste. Our waiter was Alex. He was very nice and easy to talk to. Upon being seated, he served us each a glass of sparkling wine which he said was the "hello".
Then we were served a delicious homemade spread of cheese, mustard and herbs. This was accompanied by crusty homemade bread. We tasted the first bottle of wine. After that, Alex brought our a large plate of thinly sliced ham and assorted cheeses. He said that the ham was a speciality because it was baked in bread. We LOVED, LOVED, LOVED it, We then were offered the tasting of wine from the second bottle. Both wines were very nice.
During the time that we were there Alex kept refilling our glasses. Both bottles were ours to drink and to enjoy as much of as we wanted.
We expected to spend about a 1/2 hr. at the winery. Instead we spent almost three. It was one of our trip highlights.
The cost of this tasting was 10 euros each. When we went back to the shop to buy a bottle of one of our tastings, we found that the cost was 19 euros.
What a wonderful afternoon. It was a great deal and a real treat! If ever given the opportunity, we will go back.

We had very good lunch here with my friends. I had beef soap, where could be any vegetable and meat, there were only noodles. After soap I had spaghetti with tomato sauce and proscciuto. Wasn´t bad but something special neither. My boyfriend had scampi here...MoreThank you for all!

We stopped here for lunch on the way to Italy. The service was excellent and our vegetable pizza was very nice (for me I think the base could have been crisper, but my other half was v happy with it) We also had fresh orange juice. This was only ok, too pulpy, maybe just not the best oranges. . If you're in the area then it's worth a visit. (1 large pizza, 2 fresh orange, 2 ice cream €11.5).

The restaurant is an absolute surprise in this part of Slovenia. Good value for food, tremendously nice design of the place, it can serve family needs (toys and other facilities), it can be used for business meetings, having late night drink .. They have nice sunny outdoor Seating ...
Only minus I can find is this, that there are not many guests. You can see this in that way, that things are not used by many many people and there is dust here and there - hard to describe.
In general - definitely a place worth visiting!

If you are staying in Vipava and the day is hot this might be the place to visit. Colder surrounding due to mountain elevation, friendly servants and home food.

Foot weary and fussy after a long day walking and disappointing accommodation confusion, we stumbled upon this hidden gem of a restaurant to one of the best meals of our four-week European holiday! We ordered the four course meal according to the recommendation of proprietor...MoreDear Elizabeth, we are happy that you are so wowed with this experience, but as we found out, you were not in our Podfarovz, but in Restaurant Podskala, which is located near us. However, we are glad that you are so satisfied. Kind regards!

We are travelling around Europe in our motorhome and we stayed in the camp ground attached to the restaurant. On our 2nd night we had a meal at the restaurant and it was fabulous. It was Slovenian cuisine which was beautifully presented and each course was explained to us so we knew what we where eating. The service from Ingrid was great and Marco the chef prepared a stunning 4 course meal. This meal and our experience at their camp site has been a highlight of our trip so far. If we come back this way we will definitely go back.
