Secret of our cuisine

It is never easy to put up a good team, but we believe that we did a great job.

Chef

The cuisine of Koliba Liptov is led by an experienced Chef and a man born in Liptov, who knows precisely how a good traditional food from Liptov shall taste. He is also not afraid of biting into exotics. Thanks to his experience in France, England, Italy, Thailand and Asia in general, he can combine Slovak food with modern foreign gastronomy like hardly anybody. Our Chef is very close to traditions and traditional food of our grand-mothers, but he enjoys complementing them with new technological processes. Food that you enjoy around the world can also be found here in Liptov: confit, souis-vide and etc.  

Chef´s team

The whole kitchen is a big challenge even for the best Chef, if he does not have a reliable team alongside him. Therefore we have put strong emphasis on experience when selecting our team. You can recognise many of our cooks from our restaurants Vlnka and restaurant Smrek.

Kitchen

Fantasy has no limits in our kitchen in Koliba Liptov. The Chef together with his team not only completes the recipes, but also creates them. The fundamental ingredient of our food is freshness. If you want to taste a genuine Liptov, you are at the right spot. Auntie Zdenka is also part of the team, who will prepare authentic home-made dumplings, pierogi or potato dumplings with love based on traditional recipe from local ingredients. We do not recognise ready-to-cook meals. We are an honest Koliba! Just come and taste specialties such as beef fillet steak, ram goulash or genuine Liptov dumplings.
