As it was a Sunday night (a usually off-night and often finding restaurants closed) we were fortunate to have the hotel restaurant open for us. Simon, our server, was gracious, knowledgable, and incredibly helpful. The menu is designed around seasonal and fresh, local foods. Simon guided us to Slovenian wines for our dinner, beginning with the Slovenian 'bubbly wine', which was delicious. We shared a bottle of local Chardonnay, which was quite to our liking. To start, we each ordered a freshly made salad of local spinach and rocket lettuce with small amounts of cucumbers, red peppers, tomatoes, and radishes served with a choice of olive oil or pumpkin seed oil (delicious!) and either balsamic or white vinegar. The lettuces tasted as if they had just been picked.
For dinner, hubby chose the wild venison (not farmed raised), a large portion of deep, richly flavored and tender meat. Served alongside was a wine poached pear and celery mash. Filling, unusually delicious, and satisfying. I had the oven baked sea bass served with potatoes and assorted fresh vegetables with a light white sauce. The meal was beautifully served and perfectly prepared, satisfying and delicious.
Simon brought us each an after dinner drink: grappa for my husband and a fruit liquor for me--as we were celebrating my birthday.
Simon is an incredible young man and the Hotel CUBO is fortunate to have him on staff. Thank you for making our first night in Ljubljana a very welcoming one, Simon!

This place is right next door to the town hall , they have a very extensive range of local wines at various prices to either take home or drink in . They also serve cold meats , cheese and oysters . The only negative is that we had 4 glasses of wine and when we got the bill they charge by .1 of a litre and there is no way we had a tenth of a litre in each glass so be wary .

The a-la-carte restaurant in Via Podvin is run by one of Slovenia's best chefs - Uros Stefelin. Uros finds challenges in discovering forgotten local ingredients, getting to know them and creating new dishes in his own unique way. With modern techniques and creativity he transforms traditional dishes into culinary delights of Slovene Nouvelle Cuisine. Our restaurant is decorated with local Slovene souvenirs. Each telling a tale of its past and the wealth of Slovenian cultural heritage. We wish to add to this collection by sharing our culinary souvenirs with you; visit us, taste the dishes and when leaving, leave with good memories and the recipes of the dishes you have tasted.

After wandering around Bled we decided to have something special for lunch. The Bled itself is special enough, but to finish the walk around the lake in such authentic restaurant like this one it's very special indeed. I loved the modern versions of the meals that forefathers once ate. Every dish deserves to be mentioned because here everything is delicious, but who would read long list? Well if you want to you can check mine blog (to the name just add .com :)), cuz I did it! In short, I think that typical regional breakfast, served in an eggshell does leave an impression. The filling was deliciously seasoned and made of “polenta” which is a corn mash, egg yolk, rinds and potato foam and crispy bacon on top. This would be one delicious breakfast to eat every day for longer period, as it was so delicious that I scraped out everything and even damaged the shell a little :)
For even shorter description is all I can say: Delicious!

My partner and I had just arrived in Bled so couldn't check into our hotel room yet so we climbed to the top of the hill to Bled Castle , the entrance was around £10pp but well worth it. The views are gorgeous of the Mountains, lake and island, great photo opportunity. There is also a cute honey shop , cafe and blacksmith shop

Unfortunately, only on the last day of our stay in Kranjska Gora we discovered this gem, which literally knocked us off our feet with the quality of it's food and service.. Never younger staff and never better kitchen! Everything was 10, from beautifully arranged dining room, friendly young waiter who made sure everything was in perfect order, and finaly, the food.. Oh, my God! The veal in a perfectly reduced sauce was almost melted in the mouth.. It came after a tasty mushroom soup and before delicious home made apple pie with walnut ice cream. We were just blown away. Looking forward our next visit!

This was the best meal my friend and I had in Slovenia. What a pleasant surprise to discover this restaurant in Kranj, when we happened to stay nearby at an apt overnight because it's closeness to the airport.
Food was amazing and very creatively presented. They gave us complementary chocolate truffles and fruits at the end, which was a nice touch. Staff was friendly.
The only suggestion I have if for them to dim the lighting! It would make for a more cosy ambiance. The decor inside with the blue nautical cushions and bright lights don't fit the external image of the traditional little Slovenian house. Just a small suggestion!

Was here for the second time with business colleagues. Restaurant is situated in one of the castle towers with amazing view on Ljubljana.
The space is well designed with very warm-feeling interior. The tables were really neatly prepared and all food served with a touch of design.
The food (7-course menu) tasted very good and I must say that the service was top class. Usually in this kind of restaurants service is to "artificial" I would say cold but every single waiter here was warm and attentive which makes the difference. First time hear I was a bit disappointed but second time they have done good job!
Definitely worth trying.

Restaurant set in an idyllic flower garden in front of an old farm house dating from 1843 with 40 seats inside. Regional cuisine, great wine list with Slovene wines, top desserts and live piano music every night. We are open every day from April until 10th November, from 18:00 - 23:00hrs. Welcome :)

The restaurant is a bit hard to find walking, but once we got there the staff was very friendly and the restaurant was charming. The waiter was helpful and when he brought each item he thoroughly explained it without being either condescending or verbose, telling us how it was prepared, where it was from, etc. I had frutti di mare which was octopus and vegetables in a very, very good red sauce. My wife had rump steak with a nice selection of vegetables. The waiter was also helpful with explanations about Slovenian wines and I ended up getting (and liking) a local Merlot/Cab blend called Epocha. The meal was one of the most expensive we had on our two week trip through Switzerland, Germany and Slovenia, but I feel it was worth it. The one disappointment was the dessert. We had heard about the traditional Bled cake and thought we were getting it there, but theirs is a very different version, and I have to say not nearly as good as the one we got the next day at our hotel.

The food was exquisite and very well priced. The service was charming, friendly and knowledgeable. My only criticism was it was a little cold inside.
