The Best Restaurants with 1 Falstaff Fork(s) in Ljubljana
The old town location on the river in a tasteful boutique hotel is attractive. The cuisine integrates elements from Down Under - in reference to the Australian owner - but also Slovenian and even traditional, but not classic. Vanderful!
In the middle of the city, but you feel like you're by the sea. Fish carpaccio, fish soup, oysters, shrimp risotto and pasta with lobster are the prelude to a wide variety of fish - mostly wild-caught - from the grill. The wines come from the Primorska region on the coast.
Mediterranean dishes such as risotto with Prosciutto, Teran wine and radicchio or the Neapolitan pizza immediately create a holiday feeling. A second focus is on grilled food. Veal chops or aged cuts of beef - all always a delight. Good desserts.
For starters, Erik Sorbara serves Žlikrofi with porcini mushrooms and scampi risotto, black burgers with squid ink and beef cheeks. On the grill are sea fish and, of course, steaks of home-aged beef, but also bison and wagyu cuts.
An atmospheric country estate with a large garden. The first thing to be put on the table is the wonderfully intense homemade beef soup. The dry-aged beefsteaks and the fried chicken have got competition: from the super tender veal shank in its own gravy.
Tucked away in a corporate building, good seafood cuisine is offered in a cosy restaurant. Meat lovers will find lamb crown and well-matured steaks. The house pâté is popular. For the small appetite there is homemade ravioli and risotto.
Beautiful old town location, in the garden you can enjoy the elegance of the historic town houses. The cuisine is Mediterranean oriented: Pasta, risotto, gnocchi are offered, fish and meat are grilled quite classically. Small, fine selection of Slovenian wines.
The white-blue house is a place to go for fans of fine seafood. Tatjana Železnik works with top products, which you can already taste in the raw starters. The black risotto with cuttlefish is a revelation as is the turbot with thin potato slices.
Everything revolves around the high quality Krškopolje pork. Buckwheat, porcini and smoked loin, sausages with horseradish, carpaccio with feta cheese, even jota (sauerkraut and potato stew), barley stew and goulash are all prepared with this meat.
Even after moving to a quieter part of the old town, the concept has remained the same. The pizza is still good, but the regulars also come for the meat dishes. Grilled lamb and especially the baked pork schnitzel are beloved dishes on the menu.
The classic inn is an institution only a few minutes by car from the centre of the capital. Braised goat or lamb are always a highlight, they are also famous for the fried chicken and the baked frog legs are very traditional.
