Hiša Franko, Ana Roš's cooking in the Soča Valley

The 2026 Euphorest menu

Each spring, Hiša Franko creates a menu that tells a different story about the valley, its people and its traditions. The concept holds all year, but the dishes change with what nature provides, so a wild herb from early summer might give way to fermented berries in autumn. The house works with local foragers, shepherds, cheesemakers, hunters and fishermen, and trout, game, kid, forest fruits and wild plants recur on the plates.

There’s a single tasting menu, the same at lunch and dinner, with no à la carte, and the experience lasts about three hours. The 2026 menu is called Euphorest. Drinks are extra, with three pairings or wines by the glass from an extensive cellar. Prices and hours are in the table.

How to book Hiša Franko

Dining is by reservation only, through the online system or by email, and a card is needed to hold the table, although nothing is charged in advance. If you arrive more than half an hour late, the menu may be shortened and still charged in full. They adapt the menu for many diets with a week’s notice, though they don’t do vegan or dairy-free menus. The restaurant is for guests aged 12 and over, the dress code is casual elegant, there are no gift vouchers and well-behaved dogs are welcome. The two dining rooms seat 46, and there’s a private room for groups of 7 to 12.

Staying the night

The house has rooms with private bathrooms and air conditioning, no televisions and minimal electronics, because every window looks outside. Only restaurant guests can book them, for one night, by ticking the option when reserving a table. If there’s no room, the Nebesa chalets will arrange a taxi to the restaurant.
