Christmas is of the utmost importance at Špacapanova hiša, because on Christmas Day 46 years ago Ada served both the first Christmas lunch and the very first lunch at Špacapan house. A lot has changed since then, but two things remain – Ada and her love of food.
For Christmas lunch, you can choose anything you want and as much as you want. Price of the Christmas lunch is €55.00 per person.
