Summary: In a fortress setting a chef preserves tradition with seasonal local produce and herb accents.
Pavus sits in Grad Tabor castle and begins with amuse-bouches including sourdough, browned butter, Savinjski želodec and a chicken pâté bun. The signature herb soup and a forest mushroom soup lead into land and sea plates such as squid with ink potato salad and onion creations, then venison with walnut and artichoke. Desserts pair mandarin sorbet with saffron foam and sea buckthorn sponge as sustainability shines through local sourcing and foraging.
