Good place for outdoor dining and authentic Slovenian food. The beer was also good. Should I also mention that the beer was good? My wife had dumplings, and I had a traditional Slovenian goulash. The goulash was good – I was astounded by how much...meat it had in it. I think it had three different kinds of meat - beef, veal, and pork. And the gravy was to die for. Just when you thought you had finished your meal, your spoon revealed another piece of deliciously gravy-soaked meat. And did I mention that the beer was good? Service was a little slow, but our waiter told us they were shorthanded, because it was very hard to get workers. We also heard that same lament from the chambermaid at the hotel we were staying in. They both seem to say that, especially young Slovenians leave for the north for higher-paying jobs..More

We were driving through Ljubljana on our way to Bled and decided to quickly stop for lunch. We stumbled on this place and decided to stop as we were starving. We are so glad we did! From the menu we thought that we were going...to receive toasted sandwiches, however this was so much more. The crunchy chicken sandwich was incredibly tasty and beautifully presented. We also ordered the sausage dish and veggie platter. Both were tasty as well as nicely presented. We were all very happy with our meals and the service was great too.More

Arriving at an evening hour in Ljubljana I asked the receptionist lady at my accommodation about a restaurant with Slovenian cuisine I could go to. She recommended the 'Figovec', but that it would be difficult to find a table without reservation. The place was not...far away and I was lucky that a small table just got free. A friendly young waiter told me to sit down there. It turned out to be the best dining experience I had in Ljubljana, together with the next evening at the same place, for which I had made a reservation and this time with an equally professional waitress taking care of me. I was surprised to find out that this restaurant was not mentioned in the two guidebooks I had with me (Lonely Planet's 'Slovenia' and Reise Know How 'Ljubljana'). In this place, which also calls itself 'Slovenian House' (Slovenska Hisa) I just tried two of the most famous national dishes. On the first evening 'Idrijski zlikrofi', a specially shaped dumpling with a filling of potatoes and cracknels, thus crisply fried pieces of pork fat, topped by a sauce of veal ragout. The combination of pasta and potatoes sounded odd to me at first, but especially with the meat added it tasted quite good. With it I had a side salad. On the second evening I went for the 'Krajnska klobasa', the 'Carniolan Sausage' or 'Krainer Wurst' as it is called in nearby Austria. It came hot on a wooden board together with honey mustard and fresh horseradish. This time I had grilled vegetables on the side. The waitress told me to use local pumpkin seed oil with it, of which there was a bottle on the table (together with a bottle of Slovenian olive oil). It was an opportunity to also try some good local wine, like white Pinela or red Refosc. Instead of dessert I ended the dinners with an espresso, once together with a Slivova, once with a Brinjevec, a brandy of fermented juniper berries that tastes like medicine.More

This spot was a recommendation from a receptionist of the hotel that we stayed in. He said it was a good representation of local Slovenian food so it would be good to try. As always, we checked it out on TripAdvisor and it had good...reviews so we decided to try it. It was a quick 5 to 10 minute walk from the hotel so was good for location for us. We had already booked a table prior to arriving so the wait staff showed us to this. The restaurant had a nice homely feel with a good relaxing and comfortable environment / atmosphere. I liked this. The wait staff were polite and quick and very friendly and helpful. They had a menu in English which was good for us. We ordered a selection of items between myself and my wife so we could get a taste of Slovenia. The food came out in a timely manner as the restaurant was not full due to it being early March and not high tourist season. The food was nice. The entrees and main meals were nice. We tried a local dessert but we didn't really it as it was not to our taste. But that is a part of trying local cuisine I guess. Overall, we were very happy with our meal and time at the restaurant and would gladly go back and recommend this to others who want a good meal at a good price.More

The food was good. But the atmosphere was not, and the placed was obviously under-staffed with a stressed waiter who took forever to bring us the check. The price/value was not worth it in my opinion.

We had a fabulous experience. Attentive service. Delicious food and wine. Recommended dishes and wine from lovely staff. Off the beaten path but better food and much better value than restaurants along the river. Ignore previous bad comments! It was simply great.

Apparently, the problem is not only with english-speaking tourists, but they also reject local guests. Despite the fact that there were free tables, the waiter arrogantly replied that there were no seats. Based on the other comments, I don't know which owner can tolerate such...staff!More

I had a warm starter and a main dish. The starter was the Čompe. That's warm potatoes with cheese cream on top. My main dish was a sausage with cheese inside and two dips. It tastes very delicious. In summer you can sit outside under...the trees which spend some shadow so the sun is not burning your skin. The staff is polite and it's a relaxed atmosphere there. I would recommend trying this local restaurant if you're in Ljubljana.More

Same as other reviewers. If you speak English, DO NOT come near this place. We were sent here from our hotel. Even though there was plenty of space the head waiter claimed they can not accommodate us. While we were waiting he sat another family....When I confronted him about it he said he doesn’t care…More

Delicious traditional Slovenian food and clean environment. Highly recommended by locals. Close enough to walk from triple bridges.

Had dinner there this evening. Great friendly service. We had goulash soup and it was fantastic. For mains we had crispy pork medallions with roasted potatoes. Really great local produce that tasted great. Highly recommend

Situated in the city center but not in the old town, this restaurant offers a nice variety of slovenian traditional dishes. Even though it was dinner time and the restaurant was quite busy, we received our food pretty quickly. Waiters were super friendly and welcoming.
