Ljubljana, as befits the capital, offers a whole range of culinary offers in the gastronomic sense: from simple bistros for a quick lunch or dinner to top restaurants, comparable to selection in any major European cities. But the residents of Ljubljana believe that the offer is even better in the surroundings of the city!

Restavracija Strelec, Grajska planota 1, 1000 Ljubljana
Perched high up in the archer’s tower of the grand Ljubljana castle, Restavracija Strelec overlooks the city from a spectacular position. Strelec has both an inside and outside seating area, with the outside showcasing a magnificent view of the sprawling Ljubljana for its lucky diners. The inside of the restaurant has a modern flare, with walls that are half exposed, showing the old stone, and half covered with ancient and medieval-style drawings.
Gostilna As, Čopova 5a, 1000 Ljubljana
One of Slovenia’s first truly world class designed restaurants when it opened its doors in the centre of Ljubljana some two decades ago, in the years since it hasn’t missed a beat, still serving some of the very best Mediterranean-inspired cuisine in the city. Some of the standouts on the menu are the seafood specialities, served as both starters and main courses. Gostilna As also serves a range of steaks that are grilled to order on an open-fire. When in doubt over what to eat, one can rely on the friendly staff for recommendations, as well as for guidance with the equally excellent wine list.
Gostilna na Gradu, Grajska planota 1, 1000 Ljubljana
Decidedly upmarket in appearance and service, the prices are surprisingly modest – especially given the truly unique location and dining experience that goes along with it. Na Gradu’s award-winning chef pride themselves on the expert preparation of Slovenia’s diverse range of traditional dishes, which have been developed over the centuries in the country’s 24 separate gastronomic regions, with nearly all of the ingredients being locally produced.

in one of Jože Plečnik’s more imposing secessionist-style buildings, JB attracts a mix of well-to-do locals and visiting foodies. The menu is comprised entirely of seasonal specialities, with daily changes depending on what the chef has found in the market that morning.
