"Outdoor Dining Area" Restaurants in Ljubljana
Mojmir Šiftar manages to breathe young life into traditional dishes. However, the typical Pen Klub dishes are also still upheld. In this way, the young chef preserves the former flair and tradition, but at the same time has helped the place gain new popularity.
Chef Ishikawa is a master of his craft. The base is Japanese, but European flavours are always vivid as well. The miso soup with crab is delightful, and the tuna steak is on point. The beverage accompaniment includes international wines and sake.
The inn on the castle hill is worth the climb. The vaulted ceiling has been refreshed with design elements. The menu includes classics such as Krainerwurst or gibanica. Modern ideas flow into squid ravioli with smoked trout filling and fennel cream.
A very popular address in the capital since the 1980s. Italian dolce vita and urban modernity enter into an atmospheric liaison. The cuisine is straightforward and works with high-quality ingredients. Particularly courteous service, good wine list.
The historic house has been carefully restored to its former glory, and the vaulted ceiling of the restaurant is particularly atmospheric. Erik Florjanc uses mainly organic products, local flavours combining with the spirit of classic Mediterranean cuisine.
The bistro-style restaurant is located in the Old Square, but exudes youthful freshness. Cosy breakfast, affordable lunch or advanced dinner menu - everything is possible. Regional produce and wines are used, and everything is presented aesthetically.
Florijan Virant specialises in a modern pan-Asian cuisine. The chef knows how to harmoniously combine different textures, sweet and sour, and smoky flavours. The wine list is not long, but well chosen.
Sure, this is first and foremost a vinotheque that stocks more than 300 Slovenian wines. But a good drop stimulates the appetite: Beef tartare, hotdog with Krainer sausage, a selection of ham or baked potatoes with bacon are the appropriate base.
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!
The modern restaurant is surrounded by greenery, the interior with floor-to-ceiling windows was designed by star architect Matteo Thun. Slovenian dishes as well as international cuisine are served. The steaks from the charcoal grill are particularly successful.
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.
