Hiša Franko Kobarid
No.69 World's 50 Best 2025 — elite chef
Veronica's Take
Chef Ana Roš has transformed Hiša Franko in Slovenia's Soča Valley into a culinary pilgrimage site, landing it at No.69 on the World's 50 Best Restaurants 2025 list. Her hyper-seasonal tasting menu, served in a farmhouse with views of snowy peaks, is matched by her hands-on approach to local craft—she ages Tolminc cheese herself and curates an impressive biodynamic wine cellar. Roš' unyielding dedication to regional ingredients and her inventive, boundary-pushing cuisine make Hiša Franko a must-visit for any serious food pilgrim.
