Restaurants In Ljubljana

Julija Restaurant

This is a cosy and moody restaurant serving delicious food including some great local dishes that we loved. We tried the veal fillet with truffle mash and I believe they were called idrija zlikrofi, a Slovenian dumpling, which were so tasty. As we were there at the end of October, we loved the atmosphere eating our dinner in the warm restaurant by candlelight when it was so cold outside. This would be our pick for where to eat in Ljubljana for local flavours in a nice restaurant environment.

Abi Falafel

Abi Falafel is not a typical restaurant, more of a casual eat in or take-away place. But it’s a great lunch or dinner option if you’re wondering where to eat in Ljubljana for an easy casual meal. I know it’s not Slovenian cuisine but after a day out exploring Lake Bled it was exactly what we felt like and was really delicious.

Coffee, Tea and Cafes In Ljubljana

Le Petit Cafe

This is a great place for breakfast or lunch. We decided a breakfast was a good idea here, well a late breakfast for us, so we got an egg dish and a risotto ;) It was a really nice lively atmosphere sitting outside. The chicken and mushroom risotto was good and so was the eggs Benedict. Le Petit Cafe was quite busy and seemed to be a local favourite too.

Mandy loves her tea so this place was a definite for us to try, and we both loved the tea here. A really nice teahouse selling a huge variety of delicious teas. They also sell tea to take with you. We loved the black tea with coconut, which we also bought some to take with us on our travels :)

Other Slovenian Specialties to Taste

Klobasarna

This small shop sells a special type of sausage, the Carniolian (Kranjska) sausage, which is a protected recipe and specialty in Slovenia. It’s a really tasty sausage and comes with mustard, horseradish and a bread roll. Alternatively you can also try it with a soup. A great example of delicious Slovenian fast food.

Easily our favourite Ice Cream in Ljubljana. Come here if you’re in the mood for great ice cream both to take and walk through the city, or head outside or to the nice area upstairs to have a seat and enjoy. I loved the cheesecake flavour but every flavour we tried we loved.
