"Outdoor Dining Area" Restaurants in Ljubljana
Igor Jagodic learnt his skills from Dieter Müller and René Redzepi at Noma. At Ljubljana Castle, he focusses on seasonal and micro-seasonal ingredients that inspire top performance. The wine list features local, French and Italian bottles.
The popular restaurant got off to a flying start again with Mojmir Šiftar. The young chef reinterprets Slovenian tradition and develops an innovative style from it. However, the well-known Pen Club classics are also upheld, such as the flambéed duck liver.
The restaurant Jaz by Ana Roš is also impressive in every way. The restaurant is young and modern, with dishes that follow the seasons. Everything can be shared - whether traditional dishes or new interpretations. Delicious!
Boštjan Pavli is well-known among foodies. His cuisine is modern and has its own signature style, and even classics are given a contemporary twist. Ravioli filled with peach, cheese, mushrooms and goji berries are a real treat. Sounds exotic, but is harmonious. Top desserts!
Head chef Izidor Kržišnik brings plenty of fresh flavours to the old town. Culinary delights are served throughout the day: from breakfast to an affordable lunch to a sophisticated evening menu. Traditional dishes are interpreted in a contemporary way. Friendly service.
Relaxed, modern restaurant in a suburban neighbourhood. Southern cuisine at its best. The risotto with prawns is wonderfully creamy with the necessary bite. Seafood is also always a good choice, only the freshest ingredients are used. Top wine list with 400 labels!
Stylish, youthful, colourful: the AFTR radiates a lot of vibrancy. Just like Jorg Zupan's cuisine. You can expect a bistro style with a creative touch, surprising and with a lot of skill. Sommelier Matjaž Ivanc mainly recommends natural wines, around 30 of which are available by the glass.
Ljubljana Castle is worth the climb thanks to its fine cuisine. Hearty classics such as Krainerwurst or fried chicken are still honoured, but the kitchen team has a lot more in store. Chef Sebastjan Elbl infuses tradition with modern ideas.
If sushi, then at Sushimama. The city's first Japanese restaurant is still a guarantee of top quality. Sashimi, nigiri and maki sushi are the order of the day, but you can also get roast salmon with teriyaki sauce or sizzle your own beef on a hot stone.
In the "Golden Boat", which has been beautifully renovated, the day begins with an extensive breakfast. For chef Erik Florjanc, cooking is a vocation, and he spoils the palate with great respect for organic produce and plenty of imagination. Good selection of wine and beer.
A lovely atmosphere in a cobbled street, inside you sit under an exemplary renovated vault with designer light bulbs. The Mediterranean cuisine delights with traditional fish dishes from the Istrian coast, but black pudding and suckling pig are also delicious.
Traditional Mediterranean dishes with exclusively fresh ingredients are on the programme. The pasta is handmade, raw scampi tastes great as a starter, followed by a fine risotto. Meat dishes are also always worth ordering, especially the tender rib-eye steak.
The locals like to meet here. Classics such as beef and mushroom soup or roast pork are standards on the menu. And yet the inn is not a typical country restaurant. Everything is a little more modern and the cuisine a little more creative. Very good wine list.
Robert Prinčič is a barbecue professional: he only prepares the best pieces of meat, ideally matured. Mangalica pork and beef are served as main courses. The starters are also delicious: various types of pršut, courgette flowers and grilled artichokes.
The view alone is worth a visit; the B-Restaurant on the 20th floor of a five-star hotel is the highest restaurant in Slovenia. Head chef Komnen Bakić relies on ingredients from the region, always combining tradition with Mediterranean flavours.
A popular Asian chef with great variety. Florijan Virant presents dishes from all over Asia: he serves Japanese tempura with vegetables, red curry and udon noodles from his kitchen. The desserts are more European in character, such as panna cotta with mango and date sauce.
The attractive interior with partly golden and partly leather walls is a feast for the eyes. The menu includes fish and meat tasting menus. A signature dish is the risotto with truffle, poached egg yolk and scallop. Every plate looks pretty. Nice service.
The next generation is trained here in the tourism and cookery school. They work very professionally in real life. Classic Slovenian cuisine and more creative interpretations are on the programme. The wine list includes bottles from all over Slovenia, and the house wine is also available.
Quiet atmosphere close to the old town. Seafood cuisine is the speciality. Tuna carpaccio, pasta with seafood, saffron risotto with shrimps and octopus are the favourite classics. Those who prefer meat will also find what they are looking for: Steaks or lamb are also prepared with love.
Over 220 years of history can be seen in the rear-view mirror of this venerable, classic inn. Everyone will find something to suit their personal taste. Fried chicken, veal medallions, pepper steak, baked fish or octopus - everything is excellently prepared. The goose is also worth a visit.
