For more than 50 years, Špacapanova Hiša has been a bastion of Karst cuisine. The restaurant has been run by the Špacapan family since 1973, while its current success is largely due to son and brilliant manager Ago, who has taken the quality of the cuisine to a new level. The regional cuisine is prepared from local ingredients – staff are happy to provide information on the provenance of the ingredients and the human stories involved in their production. Depending on the time of year, don’t miss the lamb and kid, both of which are raised in the Karst and cooked in the oven, then served with cow’s milk curd ravioli. The traditions of the Karst are also alive and well in the wine cellar (the venue for tastings of wine, ham and cheese matured on site). If you’d like to prolong your stay here, the restaurant also offers a few guestrooms, some of which have been recently renovated with period furnishings.
