Monstera by Bine

Bine Volčič is the owner of Monstera bistro. He became famous in reality show Gostilna išče šefa and now he is a judge in Master Chef. They are famous for their zero waste cuisine and ecological wines. Since this year this place is also on Michelin guide. All of that should be enough to visit the restaurant. So I went there with Miha, Nina, and Danijela. She had to order and pay upfront vegan menu. On Friday we reserved at 19h. On way there, I met Miha and Nina. Danijela was late a bit. The Interior was nice. We order a 7-course tasting menu (59 €) with accompanying wine and aperitif (100 €). The appetizer was of pate and beetroot, interesting. From there on we would get different meals that would include traditional ingredients like chanterelle mushrooms and horseradish. Surf and turf tortellini. Medium steak slices, … A combination of flavors was a delicacy for taste buds. Probably the highlight of the evening for me was the wine selection.

On other hand I was a bit disappointed. Few things were bothering me. Waiter was nice, but not up for the level of his task. Also steak was has piece of fat, ravioll was not conistent. I expected better package for his name and this price tag. But I enjoyed my company and from there it got quite wild 🙂
