Gostilna Sovdat

Bovec


Sovdat isn't strong on aesthetics and its outdoor terrace isn't as pretty as others in town, but the crowd of locals attests to its popularity and value. Lots on the menu falls under €10, including plentiful pastas and bumper burgers. You can go upmarket, too, with the likes of gnocchi in a truffle sauce or roast beef with Gorgonzola.
