For food lovers

Food like in bygone days

At the Mojčin dom mountain hut we cook slowly and patiently, as people did in bygone days – over a fire, using good ingredients and without taking any shortcuts. Our food is based on local farming tradition, where flavours are created by time, not by additives. .

Our house speciality is Mojčin lonec (Mojca’s bowl) – a hearty meat and vegetable stew, which is cooked for up to seven hours in a wood-fired cast iron cauldron. The flavours slowly merge, the meat softens, the vegetables provide a natural sweetness resulting in a dish that warms the body and soul. .

We use the same method to cook jota, in which smoked pork shank is braised, and venison goulash, which is the basis for homemade noodles or gnocchi with venison. These are not quick dishes – these are dishes that require time, experience and respect for the ingredients.

During warmer months, we cook veal medallions, braised in Traminec wine, and in winter our farmers’ stove comes to life, in which we cook pork shanks, chicken and black pudding. Of course, we can’t forget lightly smoked Slovenian sausages, which we serve in a simple way, with no fancy frills – as is fitting for a real mountain dish.

We make buckwheat spoonbread from 100% buckwheat flour, without any additives, and we do not add flour to any of our dishes. The taste thus remains pure, like it was in the days of our grandparents.

In summer, we offer refreshing sour milk, and whenever nature provides us with mushrooms, they quickly find their way into our kitchen – together with potato and carrot they make an excellent mushroom soup, like people made at home in the past, without using a recipe but with plenty of feeling.

Drink with a story

At Mojčin dom drinks aren’t just an addition but rather they are part of the experience. We select them with the same measure of respect for tradition, nature and the people who create them – as was the case in the past.

We proudly serve open and bottled wines from the San Martin Wines winery, produced by the vintner Miran Kavčič. The wines come from vineyards where knowledge is passed from generation to generation, and where production is based on patience, manual work and an understanding of the land. These are wines with character – authentic, balanced and connected with the place from where they come. Such wines are the perfect match for our homemade food and mountain ambience.

We also serve liqueurs from the Trglav Farm, which are made using 100% tepka pear brandy. They are made from fruit picked from high-density orchards, according to traditional recipes and without any unnecessary additives. The liqueurs aren’t too sweet, are full of flavour and have a distinctive character – not to be drunk quickly, rather to be savoured slowly with nature and the people who made them in mind.

For beer lovers we serve classic draft beer and are also delighted to be able to offer beer from the Slovenian Pelicon craft brewery; IPA and dark ale are the standout beers, which have a distinctive flavour and make the perfect companion to a hearty mountain meal or a relaxed evening on the terrace.
