We had a 3- course meal for approx. 20 people which was quite tasty, but we were seated in an extra room all by ourselves. This room has the potential to be a nice sunroom, but some obscuring shield made it look and feel like a waiting room. A little decorating might lend a nice touch and make it seem warmer - I wouldn't want to sit in there during the winter.

Restaurant
The service was terrible, slow, we were mainly waiting all the time... Then we got starter and main dish at the same time. We never got to desert, although it should be served with lunch... So, thank you, but no, thank you!

The Restaurant GROF - since 1901 It all began in the vicinity of Ceplje in 1901 by the Vransko - Sempeter road, when Johan Gorican opened his first winery. Excellent fruit and wine grower Johan was the attendant of the manor Stopnik and he was married to Neza (born Brinovec) who used to be a cook in the manor Hachenberg. They both respected the human values and people, which was important for a successful company. They had improved their vision until 1936 when their nephew Franz Brinovec and his wife Pavla Rome took over the restaurant. They ran it until 1953 and back then they probably did not even imagine that the road, by which their inn was standing, would have a fatal influence upon it... When they started building the road the house was knocked down. The restaurant was moved to another location and was opened again in 1968. It was in service until 2000 when it was closed again because a motorway was being built. In 2011 it was the 110th anniversary since Johan Gorican opened his own winery. Horse yokes, carriages and horses have been replaced by cars and busses. Numerous visitors have walked through our door. Time brings changes, and from the first day, when people were paying with Guldens until today when we are paying with Euros, also nutrition habits have been changed. Despite different times and changed habits the regional Mission of the inn Grof has been preserved. Our main principles are offer of high quality and satisfied guests. Welcome to the world of gastronomic pleasures. CUISINE A long-time tradition has strongly influenced the restaurant's offer though it has changed a lot in a hundred years. In spite of that Neza's recipes have been revived from the time when she prepared her dishes for the gentry at the manor Hachenberg, and we keep our offer on the traditional level which has come from our surroundings. We can assure that we are loyal to this tradition and gladly carry on the work of our ancestors. At the same time we are aware that contemporary lifestyle and pulse unintentionally impose different eating habits. We shall satisfy this with a wide range of Italian cuisine, pasta and inevitable offer of pizzas. LOCATION AND INTERIOR The restaurant Grof has been standing by the road since 1901. It is true that the location has been changing over a hundred years of its existence but the location "by the road" marks the inn even today. The easiest way to find it is to drive on the A1 motorway between Ljubljana and Maribor and take the exit Vransko. Drive along the regional road Nr 447 in direction Celje. Take the second exit on the roundabout and you arrive at the car park of the inn, which offers 130 park spaces. The inn Grof is situated less than 200 meters from the motorway. There is space for 300 guests on the ground floor along with a large open Terrace for around a hundred guests. On the first floor there is a small lecture room in which 40 people can sit comfortably, and a special room for 50 guests. There is a children's playroom for the young and there is a possibility of organizing children's parties.
Excellent restaurant, really good food, polite employes, fast service, great kids playroom. And the overall furniture is just exquisite! We’ll come back for sure

Lucifer is this decadent Chocolate focused cafe. You can almost feel the sinful, sensual Chocolate dreams as you enter. The decor is amazing, it has a 1920's vibe to it, you almost feel like you entered another time era altogether.
The Hot chocolate is to die for!
Everyone should try it at least once!

Would recomment specially for couples or just people that want to refresh their romance. The best time is to come when the day comes to it end - from jacuzzi you can wach and admire Velenje valey with castle in all lights possible... peacuful place all arround. Possibility as well to sleep over in Kajža and to have some days off as well arround in nearer hills.

Urban and wild, modern and traditional, local and global. This is Galerija okusov. You must get to know us to feel our story, which writes itself. We have developed into a restaurant to which you have high expectations what drives us to always create something new - at this point, thank you for not allowing us to fall asleep. When creationing dishes we focuse on authentic taste of local and fresh ingredients, of course, only seasonal deliverable. And yes, if Pag's squids are better, we rather agree with the fishermen from our former joint country, so we can serve you best. Frozen is with us only ice cream and it is home-made.
Selected this place at the Ljubljana Friday "Open Kitchen" market after viewing the many offerings of different restaurants. The young staff preparing the food were wonderful, carefully explaining all the ingredients and preparation. My selection was fantastic. Just wish I was hungry enough to try everything. Hope to visit the regular restaurant during my travels through the country.

Good taste that remains ... Restaurant Triglav, you caress your soul and stomach, already during the Austro-Hungarian Empire constituted the major bidder host where the guests love coming to pamper their taste buds. Tradition kitchens of our grandmothers and food from our direct surroundings, we are committed today, but follow the new cooking trends. Food seasonal character will be any occasion - be it a wedding, anniversary, birthday, completion of the trip or a family Sunday lunch - made for a unique experience. Local farmers have a guarantee that the ingredients from which we prepare our specialties, are not behind thousands of kilometers of trails, but they have been carefully selected and nurtured our people to grow as mature as in the surrounding Gardens, fields and Forests around us, swim in our streams and lakes or grazed on the surrounding green pastures and fresh agreed also on your plate. Delicious pieces of art to our boss will satisfy even the most demanding taste, it can happen to you during your stay with us realize goodies than can be found anywhere else than in the castle - perhaps you because they want to return to us.
We were staying in nearby hotel and popped in for lunch one day. The food was some of the best we have ever eaten. Very well presented and delicious. The menu was huge with two separate menus inside which was a little confusing but the waiter explained to us that they were in between seasons and both menus were available. Highly recommend the chicken liver pate. A great find and must visit if your in this area.

This is family buisniess with a sense.We are near Rimska Nekropola and cave Pekel. Highway exit Sempeter and 15km from city Celje.
Went back from Logarska dolina and I looked at TripAdvisor where and what to eat on the way back home. This steakhouse came out as result and it was worth it. Pizza good, hamburger excellent, big room as a playground for children top. They serve local beer which is really good and you should try it if you like beer.
I want especially say thanks to waiter she is extremely helpfully and nice.
Because I'm driving electric car I only missed some charging point somewhere in this little town.
Absolutely recommend this place.

I went for a fixed menu Sunday lunch, and was more than pleasantly surprised.
The restaurant is in a 13th century castle, recently and fully reconstructed.
It is in Polzela, just a few kilometers of the Ljubljana-Maribor-Graz highway.
There is ample parking just next to the venue.
The ambient is fine, divided into several halls, well furnished with good taste.
The plate and cutlery are satisfactory.
The fixed menu consisted of mushroom soup, pork in a fine sauce, Turkey Wiener style schnitzel, roasted potatoes, a fluffy vegetable souffle and strukli.
All was followed by a fine strawberry cream cake, the cream was fresh and with real strawberries.
The house wine suited the meal.
The service was fast, precise, non obtrusive friendly and efficient.
The whole meal, which deserves only the highest marks, costs 10 €, and the house wine is 1 euro per glass.
The a la carte menu is balanced and offers some very interesting plates, meat, fish and venison.
In conclusion, I can say that I had one very fine meal, certainly I shall go again and take a guest with me.
I can only highly recommend this restaurant in all aspects.
