Boka Wine Snack - Bovec

One of the best restaurants nearby, if not the best

We stumbled upon this place after looking at the Boka waterfall. We got there a few minutes before opening, and the wait staff was very accommodating and welcoming. The four course meal was so delicious and a great value! The wait staff offered regional wine options from Slovenia and was very knowledgeable. What a great experience!! I would not hesitate to come back. There is free parking next to the restaurant. Service: Dine in

Really good quality food for the price! With two starters, soup, three choices of main and dessert, all nicely presented! Very friendly and helpful personnel, especially Karin, our waitress and the guy who is half Venezuelan! And the view in the direction of the Mangart is superb! Nice atmosphere in and outside. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner

We came here last year in December and had a wonderful time (my wife left a 5 star review) but only because it was low/off-season. We were very excited to come back after 6 months but unfortunately, the experience did not live up to our first visit: We had dinner 3 days ago and to say we were disappointed is an understatement. The restaurant was full but not packed. First, we arrived before another couple and even though they pointed it out to the chef and owner that we arrived before them, he still sat them first, while ignoring us and leaving us stranded in the hallway. It should not matter if you are local or known to the chef, all patrons should be treated the same, especially since everyone was so nice to us in December when we were some of the only customers during the offseason. I guess even back then it was just a facade and not a genuine experience. Anyway, 5 minutes later we did end up at our table where we ordered iced tea, which was suggested to us but as it turned out they were out of ice so we had to order something else. We had the 4-course meal, the first 3 courses were okay, nothing crazy, we had the same dishes as in December but this time it felt rushed and was not as delicious. For the main course, my wife had roast beef while I ordered the ribs. While the first 3 dishes were served very quickly, all within 40 minutes, we waited over 55 minutes for the main dish, without any heads-up while the chef was busy high-fiving local patrons. I have no issues waiting, especially if the wait is worth it but unfortunately, it was not. The meat was okay but the grilled vegetables had never been anywhere near seasoning and were completely bland. Especially the potato was one of the blandest pieces of vegetable that I had ever eaten, with no salt to be found at all. I could forgive the food not being up to par when compared to last time since everyone can have a bad day or be in a bad mood but the overall experience was just not genuine and pleasant. We felt unwanted which is a shame since we had such a great visit in 2023 but I guess everyone shows their true faces during the 'peak ' season. It was our only bad dinner and generally the only bad experience in Slovenia within the last 10 years, normally everyone is always super friendly and helpful. Luckily Slovenia and also the Soca Valley has a variety of other great restaurants to choose from.

The staff at this restaurant is very friendly and accommodating. They strive to provide the best service possible and offer good vegan options, although they recommend ordering in advance. We informed them before arriving so they were well-prepared and welcoming. While we didn't have a wide variety of choices, considering the limited number of vegan restaurants in the area, this is the best option available.
