As every year, the Austrian culinary guide Falstaff gave their assessment of Slovenian restaurants at the beginning of the summer, while the Gault & Millau Slovenia and Michelin reviewers had already given their opinion before that. Which restaurants in Kranj impressed them the most?
The Michelin Guide inspectors also mentioned Gostilna Krištof (Predoslje 22, Kranj) as the only one in and around Kranj in 2025.
The team of this restaurant, headed by Krištof Bolka and with head chef Uroš Gorjanc in the kitchen, has once again been awarded a green Michelin star and is one of Slovenia’s recommended restaurants. Read more about Gostilna Krištof in the Slovenian edition of the Michelin Guide 2025 HERE.
Krištof, Matiček, Brioni, Končovc
Also according to the restaurant critics of Gault & Millau Slovenia, Krištof is the best restaurant in Kranj, and like last year, it was awarded it three toques and 15.5 points. Among other things, they wrote that Krištof’s team “masterfully combines tradition and innovation”.
Two chef’s toques were awarded this year by Gault & Millau Slovenia critics to three Kranj restaurants: Gostilna Pr’ Matičku (Jezerska cesta 41, Kranj), Brioni Restaurant and Café (Koroška cesta 10, Kranj), and the Pr’ Končovc farm (Javornik 10, Kranj).
In addition to the chef’s caps, Gault & Millau Slovenia also has a pop category, in which it ranks the most popular restaurants. This year, four of them in Kranj have been included in the list: Dom na Joštu (Sveti Jošt nad Kranjem 2, Kranj), Pizzeria Orli (Tenetiše 80, Golnik), Projekt Burger (Jelenčeva ulica 1, Kranj) and 400 Gradi (Prešernova ulica 5, Kranj).
