The restaurant offers a nightly menu - "recited, not printed" - of Mediterranean, French and Slovenian dishes, based on the four tastes - sweet, salty, sour and bitter, representing the four elements - earth, water, air and fire, The Daily Meal says about the family-run restaurant.

The JB restaurant also features in the Daily Meal's top 10 best restaurants in the "Eastern Mediterranean". Another restaurant on the said list is Hiša Franko from just outside Kobarid.

The top 101 restaurants list was compiled by restaurant critics, food and lifestyle writers, and bloggers with wide restaurant-going experience following a seven-month nomination process that yielded a list of over 1,450 restaurants.

The jury took into consideration the cuisine and style, the service, the restaurants' interior and the entire culinary experience.

The best restaurant in Europe, according to the website, is Osteria Francescana in Modena, Italy.
