#kičnparti 3.0

#kičnparty at Grič is designed as proof that fine dining can live differently — without rigid rules, without formal décor, and without the feeling that everything is placed on a pedestal. It is a format that presents high-end cuisine in a relaxed, open, and social way.

Grič often invites guest chefs for these events, and this time it was Alexander Wulf from Bistro Troyka (Germany). His signature style — a blend of precision and personal cultural influences — naturally intertwines with Grič’s approach, built on locality, fermentation, and seasonality. The purpose of this collaboration is not competition, but the exchange of ideas, methods, and professional perspectives on contemporary cuisine.

This edition was carried out with the support of JRE – Jeunes Restaurateurs, an association that encourages exactly this kind of intercultural and intergenerational connection. The wine pairing was curated by DRINX, who poured selected wines from Gérard Bertrand, the renowned Languedoc estate. Gérard Bertrand is known for biodynamic principles and a deep emphasis on terroir identity — an approach that aligns closely with Grič’s philosophy of respectful work with nature.

A defining element of the #kičnparty format is the way guests move through the space. There’s no traditional seating structure and no sense of “keeping protocol.” Guests are free to walk around the restaurant, visit the kitchen, observe the preparation of dishes, chat with the chefs or winemakers. The kitchen becomes the center of the evening — an open space for spontaneous communication, understanding of technique, and genuine connection.

The idea is simple: to create an evening where high-level cuisine becomes a tool for togetherness, not separation. It’s an opportunity for chefs to step outside the rhythm of regular service, to test new ideas and forms of presentation that might not fit into a classic menu. Meanwhile, guests gain insight into the living process of cooking, where every dish is the result of dialogue — between chefs, between guests, and between the event’s partners.

#kičnparty remains a format defined not by spectacle, but by openness. It is an evening that connects, encourages curiosity, and creates authentic interactions among everyone involved in the experience of food — from chefs to winemakers, and ultimately, to guests.

On this occasion, we are also announcing the next #kičnparty, this time in collaboration with Igor Jagodic and restaurant Strelec. The event will take place on February 4th at 17:00, once again in partnership with JRE Slovenia. With new dishes, new dialogues, and another opportunity to experience cuisine in its most vivid, informal, and creative form.

You are warmly invited. The event price is €140 per person (food and drinks included). Reservations are accepted at info@gric.si.
