"When you eat at Hiša Franko, you can close your eyes and completely understand the environment around us: the raw, remote beauty of the Soča Valley. A landscape expressed through culinary vision, expressive, intense and unorthodox."

About Hiša Franko

About Hiša Franko

Nestled in the lush Soča Valley, surrounded by towering mountains, ancient forests, and the emerald-green Soča River, Hiša Franko is more than a restaurant, it's a living, breathing expression of the land that surrounds us. A culinary dialogue with nature.

Situated just outside the town of Kobarid, in a rustic guesthouse whose legacy goes back to 1861, Hiša Franko has become a destination for culinary travelers from around the world. Under the direction of Chef Ana Roš, it has been on The World's 50 Best Restaurants list since 2017 and currently holds three Michelin stars and a green star for sustainability.

Deeply connected to a community of foragers, shepherds, cheesemakers, hunters, and fishermen, our menu reflects the richness of our surrounding landscape. Trout, deer, goat, lamb, forest fruits, and wild plants feature prominently on our plates, just as they have for generations.

For lunch or dinner, we offer guests a multi-course tasting menu that evolves with the seasons, paired with our distinctive and curated wines from local and global wine producers or non-alcoholic beverage selections that highlight the region's unique terroir.

For guests dining at our restaurant, we offer the option of a one-night stay in our guesthouse. Rooms can be requested when making your dining reservation and are subject to availability.

Reservations are available HERE. Bookings must be made in advance to experience this unique journey through the flavors of the Soča Valley.

We are on a winter break until February 14

As we close the door for our winter break, we pause with full hearts.

This season left its marks - moments of intensity, creativity, learning, connection, and many shared tables that turned into loving memories. It challenged us, shaped us, and reminded us why we do what we do.

Thank you to our family, our team, our neighbours, our producers, and every guest who walked this path with us and left their own footprints along the way.

We’re taking a short breath to rest, reflect, and imagine what comes next.

Hiša Franko will reopen on February 14, just in time for a romantic return to the table.

Reservations for the new season are already open on our website, and our booking team is at your disposal at hisafranko@anaros.eu.
