Restaurants on the Edge

Episode 1

Slovenia

Fri, May 8, 2020

Ljubljana, Slovenia, has been around for centuries, but its reputation as a hot spot is recent-which is why the family-run restaurant, Zmauc, run by husband-wife team Matjaz and Tsenja, with help from son Luka, is in need of help. Reviews say that Zmauc is "stuck in the past" and while the surrounding neighborhood grows more hip, Zmauc stays the same. This is a problem for Matjaz and Tsenja who want to turn over the restaurant to their son, but won't do it until it's in good shape. To help, our experts visit a local honey farm, tour the only castle ever built into the side of a mountain, stop by Slovenia's Vina Povh Winery and the Goce wine cellars. Can they make Zmauc as cool as its surroundings so Luca can take over?
