Alpine skiing prodigy and graduate in diplomacy, the spokesperson for Slovenian gastronomy, Roš is a self-taught cook.

She met her business partner and ex life partner Valter Kramar while studying in Gorizia in northeastern Italy. His parents owned Hiša Franko, an already established restaurant near the Italian border, and the couple decided to take it over. He worked as a sommelier, she as a waitress, eventually stepping into the kitchen when the chef left. With help from a family friend and hours and hours of reading cook books, she experimented with updating traditional recipes from the upper Soča Valley and by 2010 had started gaining an international reputation, crowned Best Female Chef by The World’s 50 Best Restaurants and profiled in an episode of Chef’s Table in 2017. 

In 2022 Roš took 9th place of the Best Chef Awards list as the only woman in the top 10. She has received The Best Chef Pristine Award for her utmost respect for and use of the highest quality local produce at a terroir-based restaurant from the same organization. Because of her work chef Ana Ros was named the ambassador of gastronomic tourism at the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO).

For the first time in Slovenia's history, we proudly announce Hiša Franko's triumphant attainment of three Michelin stars. This prestigious accolade is a testament to the extraordinary culinary journey crafted by Chef Ana Roš and her team, marking Hiša Franko as a "must-visit" destination worldwide.
