FOODIE CATEGORIES EXPLAINED
Self-catering
If you’re air bnb-ing, tired of eating out
or just plain can’t leave your cooking
skills to rest, we got you covered too.
Apart from the farmers markets there
are quite a few grocery shops around.
Only a few of them downtown, though
(like a Mercator in Stritarjeva street),
but take a few steps to other districts
(like Trnovo) and you already have supermarkets
there (it might again be
Mercator).
Sunday no fun day ...
On Sundays, many restaurants are
closed as we all head over to Bled, the
coast, or just generally somewhere out
of Ljubljana (usually hiking). There are
however still some pretty sweet spots
open (just check their respective opening
times) so we’ve picked them for you
to enjoy Sunday Ljubljana in a yummy
style nevertheless - and you can always
do so with our food tour.
For the love of SLOVEnian
food
Generally all restaurants and bars in the
city centre have been changed in the
past 5 years. Period. There is a new generation
now dwelling downtown and our
eating habits have changed, predominantly
towards embracing world fusion
cuisine trends (and caricature of “traditional”
Slovenian cuisine). However,
there are still some spots that cater for
our true Slovenian comfort food. More
so, though, on the edges of the city so
feel free to roam over there too.
Breakfast & brunch
If there is any biggest step forward in
Ljubljana, it is the offer of breakfast
& brunch places now. In 2016 almost
noone was offering anything beyond
classical ham & cheese toast and croissant
to start your day, now venues with
granola, eggs Benedict, French toast
etc is mushrooming. Ok, for our standards.
Point is: you won’t starve until
lunch like you used to!
We mean business
In Ljubljana for work and in need to close
a deal? No problem, let’s find you a table.
We’ve selected some spots that are
cosy yet secluded enough to enable you
some privacy.
Drinks
You’re never too far away from a bar anywhere
in Ljubljana, but there are some
that will pour you more than just regular
beer & wine oldies goldies (Union and
Laško, or haložan and janževec). Quite a
few places now offer a great selection of
anything alcoholic, as well as a fabulous
atmosphere to get you into the mood
for that Friday night party time … Introducing
Daktari, Magda, Pritličje, LP
bar, anything on Petkovšek river side.
