Let’s Go Slovenia’s Top Restaurant Pick: Domačija Globočnik, Globoko

Tucked away in the peaceful village of Globoko, just a short distance from Radovljica and the Sava River, Domačija Globočnik is one of those places that quietly steals your heart. This restaurant is one of our TOP recommendations!

This family-run farmhouse in rural Slovenia is surrounded by beautiful countryside and greenery. Enjoy genuine hospitality and unique meals as time slows down.

Beautiful terace

The moment you step onto the shaded terrace, you’re greeted by a refreshing cool breeze, even on the hottest summer days. After a morning of hiking, cycling, or exploring the surrounding nature, it’s the kind of place that invites you to sit back, relax, and simply enjoy the moment.

Whether you’re a cyclist following Slovenia’s scenic backroads, a hiker exploring the nearby trails, or simply looking for a peaceful countryside lunch, Domačija Globočnik has become a favorite stop for travelers seeking something authentic.

Hospitality that feels personal

What keeps people coming back isn’t just the beautiful setting—it’s the warmth of the family behind it all. The farmhouse is run by Dušan and Barbara Jovanovič, together with their children, Jan and Živa. Their shared passion has created a dining experience that feels less like visiting a restaurant and more like being welcomed into someone’s home.

Guests often mention the atmosphere as much as the food itself. One family visiting from Zagreb described the farmhouse as a place where Slovenian tradition and exceptional cuisine come together effortlessly. They loved how every room and every detail reflected the family’s character.

One small touch that especially stayed with them was a handwritten quote displayed on an old cupboard: “Water for the body, wine for the soul.” It’s a simple sentence, yet it perfectly captures the spirit of the place.

Where local ingridients become art

If there’s one thing visitors rave about most, it’s the food. Beautifully presented without feeling pretentious, every dish celebrates seasonal, locally sourced ingredients. Even the bread is baked in-house, adding another layer of authenticity to the experience.

One recent guest wrote: “The food completely exceeded my expectations. Every dish was incredibly flavorful and thoughtfully prepared using local ingredients. Each plate was creative, beautifully presented, and full of character. We were absolutely delighted.” Others have described the meals as “culinary works of art on a plate,” where every bite complements the peaceful surroundings.

Stay a Little Longer

After lunch, don’t rush off. Take a stroll through the garden with a glass of homemade juice, explore the farmhouse’s traditional wood-fired oven and old kitchen, or simply linger on the terrace while listening to birdsong.
