The Avsenik Brothers are the world's reining kings of Oberkrainer polka (with gold and platinum records abounding), and their centuries-old family restaurant, in their hometown of Begunje, draws crowds from around the world not only for its homemade regional food but also for its regular polka performances, dance floor and annual festival. Avsenik is a great way to experience Slovenia’s particular form of Alpine culture, but if you’re looking for a quiet place to dine and chat, this isn’t it; the jolly sound of the accordion pervades throughout.
