Monstera Bistro

Chef: Bine Volčič

The 'neo-bistro' concept, where a classically-trained chef leaves
behind a grand, often Michelin-starred restaurant to pursue a unique
culinary vision at their own establishment, has officially come to
Ljubljana. Bine Volčič, one of the best-known chefs in the country, and
his wife Katarina run the lovely little Monstera, cheekily named for the
tropical plant that was ubiquitous during Yugoslav times - alluding to
the fusion of nostalgic tradition and modernity that is the trademark
of Bine's cooking. In lieu of à la carte options there are weekly set
lunches, while dinner consists of a heavenly 7-course chef's choice
tasting menu. The drinks list is equally impressive, with superbly paired
wines and specially produced own-label craft beer.
