Odprta kuhna (Open Kitchen) is one of Ljubljana’s most beloved culinary events and a true highlight of the city’s spring-to-autumn social life. Every Friday, from March to October, Pogačarjev Square transforms into a lively food market, where top Slovenian chefs, restaurants and street food vendors serve fresh dishes prepared on the spot.
From traditional Slovenian fare to international street food specialties, the variety is endless. You’ll also find local wines, craft beer and refreshing drinks to complement the gourmet offerings. Whether you’re in for a quick lunch, after-work gathering or relaxed weekend kick-off, Odprta kuhna brings people together through a shared love of food.
The event occasionally tours other Slovenian cities, spreading culinary joy and creativity across the country. With free entry and a vibrant atmosphere, it’s a must-visit for food lovers and a great way to experience Slovenian hospitality through taste.
