VENUES
Prule & Krakovo
You might think Medieval Ljubljana ends
with Zois street and Šentjakob bridge,
but it continues across into Žabjak,
Prule, Krakovo and almost Trnovo districts.
Well worth exploring not only because
of historical sights (such as special
type of architecture, urban gardens
or famous architect Jože Plečnik’s museum)
but also due to foodie endeavors:
Lajbah for craftbeer, Trta for pizza,
Špica caffe for relaxed drink in the sun
(try not to feed the nutria - coypu), and
on the other river bank Nostalgija vintage
cafe for retro buzz, Krakov’c bar
for their awesome patio, Mala pražarna
for specialty coffee, Craft room for artisanal
beer, Pri Škofu inn for a tucked
away bite, Jakob Franc for Slovenian
food fare, and Eipprova street for a residential
style pub feeling.
Outskirts: Žabar, Pri stričku,
Kmečki hram, Cubo, Pri
Kovaču
Home is (mostly) where city centre is
not so no wonder the more traditional
food venues abound in predominantly
residential districts. You have
Žabar (žaba meaning frog, and we Ljubljanaeers
are frog people because of
the swamp land on the south) in Vič,
Pri stričku (At the uncle’s) in Jarše,
Kmečki hram (Countryside temple)
in Tomačevo, almost high-end haven
Cubo in Jarše, or Pri Kovaču (At the
Smith’s) in Sostro - which is basically
already almost outside of Ljubljana.
And many more. Our advice: it’s worth
going a few kilometres outside of your
comfort city centre zone to try hearty
dishes at these eateries and discover
how we truly like to eat and drink.
