The Best Seafood Near Balon, by the Record

A terrace worth lingering on greets you before you've even seen the menu, and the dining room inside carries the same unhurried ease. This is a neighborhood seafood restaurant in Novo Mesto, the kind that lets good ingredients and quiet technique do the talking rather than reaching for drama. The wine list runs mostly Slovenian, and the sommelier is the sort of person who actually helps you choose rather than hovering importantly.
