Nature as the common thread
"Not only the number of guests of the Restaurant Week is growing, but their awareness is increasing. Also the fact that every year the price is higher by one euro means that the guests demand more every year, and expect to get it," Uroš Mencinger, culinary critic and selector, explained. He said that the summer Restaurant Week poses a special challenge for the chefs, as they have to create menus during winter, while the guests expect spring on their plates in the middle of march: "And this year the colour of the common thread is green, i.e. nature."
