GOSTILNA IVAN 
Fine Cuisine in and around Kranj (9 – 25 May 2025)

In February 2025, Anže Skvarč opened this restaurant in the old part of Kranj. He decided to serve dishes that would delight locals and tourists alike.

Chef Skvarč creates lunch menus and prepares dishes to order, focusing on traditional and local flavours, spiced with just the right amount of something different and bold. Here you will find Carniolan sausage, štruklji à la Kranj, a selection of Slovenian cheeses, trout from local farms and other flavours of the Gorenjska region.
