Denis Ibrišimović is the head chef at Gostilna Podfarovž in the Vipava Valley—a restaurant he took over in 2017 and has since developed into one of Slovenia’s most intriguing culinary destinations. His signature style: fresh, seasonal ingredients from the Vipava Valley, trout from nearby streams as the star ingredient, and individually curated tasting menus instead of a set menu. He puts a contemporary spin on classic recipes without losing sight of their roots. For him, cuisine is a holistic experience—one that reflects the region’s landscape and culture.

A Taste of the Vipava Valley: Denis Ibrišimović (Gostilna Podfarovž) cooks with Toni Komrowski on *Das Kulinarium*.
Two gems come together: Denis Ibrišimović—a former professional soccer player and now a Michelin-starred chef—conjures up top-notch Slovenian cuisine in the Vipava Valley at the source of the Vipava River. Toni Komrowski delights diners at Das Kulinarium with fresh, modern dishes—he makes much of it himself, from ice cream to bread.
