Where to eat Slovenian food in Nova Gorica: The Best Restaurants and Bars
Discover Restaurants offering the best Slovenian food in Nova Gorica, Styria Region, Slovenia. Nova Gorica (pronounced [ˈnɔ̀ːʋa ɡɔˈɾìːtsa] ( listen); population: 13,852 (town); 21,082 (incl. suburbs); 31,000 (municipality)) is a town and a municipality in western Slovenia, on the border with Italy. Nova Gorica is a planned town, built according to the principles of modernist architecture after 1947, when the Paris Peace Treaty established a new border between Yugoslavia and Italy, leaving nearby Gorizia outside the borders of Yugoslavia and thus cutting off the Soča Valley, the Vipava Valley, the Gorizia Hills and the northwestern Karst Plateau from their traditional regional urban centre. Since 1948, Nova Gorica has replaced Gorizia as the principal urban centre of the Goriška or Gorizia region, as the northern part of the Slovenian Littoral has been traditionally called.

Me and my friends wanted to end a day with a nice, quality dinner so we decided to go to this restaurant based on good reviews. We got the absolute opposite of good, we ordered fish plate and it was the most terrible plate ever and we ate a lot of them through the years - without any spices, watery taste, old shrimps that just fell apart and very, very dirty squid and old seashells tasteless. On the good side, our waitress was nice and understanding. The wine was okay, also the vegetarian dish.Dear sir,We regret your experience in our restaurant.Our guests are usually very satisfied with our fish plate.The same evening three other fish plates were prepared at the same time as yours, unfortunately, only you were disappointed over it. The other two tables were very pleased.You were probably confused that there were no two whole fishes on the plate, and from there your dissapontment continued. The fish plate for two means a price tag of 18 ⬠for a person. It has a total of approx. 0.8 dag fish and the side dishes on it. No one has ever commented why there are not two whole fishes on this plate. The point of this plate is to taste more warrious dishes made from sea food.In the preparation of the fish, we use only salt and oliv oil, beacuse the fish is fresh, and it doesn't need anything else. We receive fresh fish every Tuesday and Friday. The squids are always cleaned and we have not received any comment so far about them beeing dirty in all the years.Mussels arrive together with the fishes and the shrimps are the best you can get on the market.Usually we offer a substitute to the guest if he doesn't like anything and leave the food on the dish. Unfortunately, in your case, we could not, because you literally ate the plate to the last crumb ...

Sometimes I had good food here. But the last time I was there the food was really terrible. I had to ask the waiter for another meal. This was OK, but far from very good. The service was very good. Ambient is OK too.

We visited this restaurant several times and we always left it satisfied. The service is professional an the quality of food in on a very high level. If you are a fish lover this is the right choice for you. I especially recommend to try different types of fish carpaccio.

Pikol is lovely log cabin on a small lake minutes from Nova Gorica. It's family run and lovingly prepared. We had apperitifs outside and the rest of our meal inside. One of the special treats was the tableside preparation of carpaccio. Fascinating to watch a pro at work. Most satisfying to taste whst he's prepared. The food is superb and it's served well. One caveat: You will never be rushed, but lots of time may pass while waiting.. We were there for four and a half hours.

In the center of Nova Gorica, a lot of space for groups or couples. Nice atmosphere and (factory) design. Nice service, great burgers. Could add a bit more fries, which were also great.

We stopped to eat dinner on the way to Slovenia. The service was friendly, and the food was good but the portions were enormous and meant for sharing, so do not order a plate per diner as it will go to waste

This restaurant may technically be in Italy, but its menu has clear influences from nearby Austria and Slovenia. The interior is full of fun decorations and the staff wear Austrian dirndl outfits. Lovely atmosphere and good quality food. The free glass of Grappa at the end was a nice gesture.

The hotel and casino have a very nice à la carte restaurant, quite unexpectedly. Top class service, very nice food, great Slovenian wine. The somewhat oldfashioned atmosphere is something I like (so do not expect anything trendy here). I spent a very pleasant evening here. My bill amounted to a mere 35 EUR, including half a bottle of truly magnificent Slovenian wine. Yes, this is a place to return to.
