Take your time to peruse the huge, multilingual menu of local specialities here. Some items may not immediately appeal (eg pickled beef tongue, sausage in hog's grease), while others boast of a long family pedigree and almost demand to be sampled: the homemade štruklji (cheese dumplings) and žlikrofi (ravioli of cheese, bacon and chives), for example, and the Lectar strudel.

This main-square inn has been going strong since 1822. Book ahead on weekends or to snag a table on the back terrace with mountain views. The rustic interior is lovely in cool weather.
