You can't resist good food, and even travelers are aware of this, whose main reason for exploring the world is not only related to culture or architecture, but also to cuisine. Every traveler uses apps like TripAdvisor (or some other) to get an idea of where to satisfy their tummy and delight their taste buds - to make the tiresome search easier, we've carefully reviewed which are the best restaurants in Ljubljana 2019 (according to travelers ), which earned top reviews on TripAdvisor. If you are hungry, read at your own risk :)!

Anyone who has traveled from Slovenia at least once, seen the culinary offer in other countries and tasted their creations, can confirm with certainty that Slovenian (not only traditional) cuisine exceeded expectations – it has become part of the cream of the crop, as evidenced by the numerous awards received by Slovenian chefs and restaurants. And we are not only talking about fine places where wealthier people go, but also small bars offering food or fast food, where for a small the money gets GREAT money.

Tastes are a relative thing, so it is clear that there will always be people who do not like Slovenian cuisine, but we cannot deny the fact that we eat quality food. More and more restaurants cater to food quality, which are of Slovenian origin, some masters cook exclusively with freshly prepared ingredients, third again they also take care of the environment (they cook according to the zero waste principle).
The offer has also become diverse, as in the city we no longer only find food that the crowd likes, but there are more and more espiritual places, where they also offer vegan food, unique ice creams, superb Asian cuisine, authentic Slovenian cuisine...

Stefano Rado, the owner of Capriccio, fell in love with the capital on his first visit and decided to move here. But the Italian, who has two restaurants in Padua, missed an authentic 'ristopizza' in the city with an Italian master pizza maker. That's why he invited the pizza baker Luca, with whom he has been working for more than 20 years, to participate - he prepares Italian pizzas, closed pizzas (calzones) and rolled pizzas (filoncino) for guests, and soon the offer will be supplemented with Italian home-made pasta and other dishes.
