The only mindful cuisine restaurant in Slovenia
One of the key factors for the success of any therapeutic program in our clinic is healthy nutrition. Treatment is effective and has a lasting impact only when it works both from the outside and the inside.
That is why we have opened the mindful cuisine restaurant Donatella for our patients! It is a place where culinary art meets the science of health and longevity. Here, at Donatella, we know that food can be not only a source of nourishment but also a natural medicine.

Our approach is simple but deeply meaningful: every ingredient, every dish is created with mindfulness and care. The restaurant’s chefs work in tandem with the medical experts from the Revita Clinic of Biological Longevity to develop a menu that aligns with each therapeutic program and considers the individual characteristics of the patient.
We source all our ingredients from trusted local farmers, ensuring their high quality and freshness. We believe in the power of nature, so every product is carefully selected to enhance your well-being.
The main ingredient is love, which is why our healthy food is also incredibly delicious. Our chefs have a unique talent for combining healthy ingredients, turning every dish into a masterpiece both visually and in terms of taste! Just give it a try!
We also promote mindful eating, an approach to food based on awareness and attentiveness during the eating process. It’s a way of interacting with food that helps you better understand your physical and emotional needs, while also allowing you to gain more pleasure and benefit from each meal.
By learning about the properties of various ingredients and how they help with your specific condition, you will be able to maintain a healthy diet at home, thus prolonging the effect of the therapeutic program.
Most dishes in our restaurant are prepared using the sous-vide method. This method involves cooking food in special vacuum-sealed bags at low and precisely controlled temperatures. The process can take anywhere from several hours to even a few days.
Thanks to low temperatures (usually between 50–90°C) and the absence of air contact, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial substances that are often destroyed during traditional cooking methods are preserved. The vacuum-sealed packaging locks in natural juices and aromas, preventing them from evaporating. This makes the flavor of the dish richer. The method also allows for cooking with minimal oil or salt, while preserving the natural taste of the ingredients.
That’s why the food in our restaurant is so delicious and healthy!
