Gabriella Cottali Devetak runs Locanda Devetak in the Karst region—a family-run establishment with a history dating back to 1870 and now an internationally recognized destination for sustainable cuisine. In 2022, the Locanda was awarded the Michelin Green Star. As a self-taught chef, she learned Slovenian cuisine from her mother-in-law and developed her own distinctive style: rooted in Central European tradition and shaped by ingredients from the immediate surroundings. She has cooked for heads of state—yet her cuisine remains committed to provenance, seasonality, and authenticity.
