Traditional Prekmurje dishes
Prekmurje cuisine may be simple, but it’s full of flavour, consisting of foods offered by the local environment. Typical ingredients are buckwheat, pumpkin oil, and lard, with poppy seeds often finding their way into desserts. At Terme 3000 – Moravske Toplice, you can find more than 50 typical Prekmurje dishes on the menu, prepared by our chefs using local ingredients!
Cuisine you can only try with us
Throughout the year, our excellent chefs prepare delicious creations with a touch of local Prekmurje cuisine, which is so enchanting to many guests that they keep coming back to Terme 3000! We have gone one step further from the traditional recipes our grandmothers used to cook, and decided to prepare certain Prekmurje dishes in our own way.
Prekmurje breakfasts
They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day. If that’s true, your days with us will be wonderful and full of authentic Prekmurje experiences. Hotel Livada Prestige offers an authentic, hearty Prekmurje breakfast, rich with delicacies from local producers, such as Prekmurje meats, local cow and goat cheeses, crackling spread, minced lard spread, buckwheat salad, Prekmurje yoghurt and butter, “vrtanek” bread, and onion bread.
Prekmurje dinners
At our authentic Prekmurje dinners, held every week in our hotel restaurants, we serve many delicacies such as gypsy roast and bograč stew, as well as top quality wines. On these occasions, our chefs look especially handsome, dressed in traditional Prekmurje costume while preparing and serving dishes in kettles and traditional pottery.
Local suppliers
We are happy to say that we order quite a few dairy products from local suppliers, including various cheeses, yoghurts, and buttermilk. The bread products we serve our guests are also made locally, for example “vrtanek” (bread baked in a traditional bread oven), onion bread, buns, and bread with cracklings. Our potatoes, onions, garlic, and carrots are also grown on a local farm, as is our pumpkin oil, which is an indispensable part of Prekmurje.
