You know that feeling when the meal is so good you seriously consider licking your plate? We had that 'moment' in Vuglec Breg. Ok, we didn't actually lick the plate, but the food was so good we were seriously thinking of doing that. Situated in picturesque Zagorje hills, Vuglec Breg will knock you off your feet and offer a unique experience.
A place where tradition and modernism dance together
Behind Vuglec Breg lies a successful family story born out of the desire to preserve both the family legacy and the native customs and traditions of Zagorje. With a lot of passion, dedication, and love, the family created a unique place filled with traditions, stories, and recipes that were passed down from one generation to another. Although you may have thought at first that Vuglec Breg is a restaurant, it is actually a small tourist village on the foundations of the old hamlet "Vugleci". With a view of the beautiful expanses of Zagorje and vineyards, along with the restaurant, autochthonous Zagorje "hiže" and klet have found their place at Vuglec Breg.

All the extraordinary places are always hidden, but sometimes the good word travels far, far away. And that's the case with Vuglec Breg. It might be situated in a region that is still undiscovered by tourists, but yet it managed to find its place on the gastronomic map as a superb destination of sensational tastes and aromas. Recognized by Michelin BiB Gourmand and Gault Milau, Vuglec Breg restaurant, with its traditional meals, will take you on an unforgettable journey through the Zagorje region. The forgotten old recipes are revived in a unique and modern way. The taste. The aroma. The smell. Each and every meal tells a story that will completely draw you in.
Like the dishes prepared in it, the restaurant exudes tradition. From warm colors to an open fireplace and a terrace with a thatched roof, all this gives this restaurant a special homely atmosphere. What constantly amazes us in Vuglec Breg is the view that, whichever way you turn, simply takes your breath away. We started our meal with a Zagorje plate and enjoyed the subtle taste of homemade ham that created a real sensation on the palate, but also the sausages, bacon, and cheese that were just divine. We were especially delighted with cheese strudel soup. We're from Croatia, but we have never tried this before. Sensational! Definitely order this when you go there. The next dish on our list was, of course, Turkey with mlinci. You can't come to Zagorje without trying this famous dish. Let us just say this, crispy crust on the turkey, delicious mlinci, and rich homemade aromas. It can't be better than that! Every dish starts and ends with noble drops of top-quality wines.
