Bernard Korak
Chef Bernard’s culinary education started under renowned chef Priska Thuring. Eager to continue his education, Bernard joined Slovenian restaurant Hiša Franko for an internship, but only one month later chef Ana Roš offered him a full-time job as sous-chef. In the winter, when the restaurant was closed, Bernard worked at Osteria Francescana with top chef Massimo Bottura.  Next, Bernard decided to return home and open a restaurant in the local community of Jastrebarsko. At restaurant Korak, he conjures up the finest regional Croatian cuisine. Bernard's inherent curiosity and tenacity set him apart from other chefs and made him a coveted addition to some of the world's finest kitchens.

Korak is the first fine-dining restaurant of the Plešivica region, and the author-driven project of the chef Bernard Korak, a venue awarded both a Michelin star and a Green Michelin Star. Its cuisine is defined by a simple, yet uncompromising rule of seasonality: an ingredient that is not in season never reaches the table. This philosophy shapes the entire concept of the restaurant, relying on a close network of local growers, hunters, and foragers of herbs and mushrooms, actively supporting the community and affirming sustainable, authentic production.
