It was April 1999. At that time, it started in Postojna's Avio pub with a free drink fest, which marked the beginning of the operation of today's one of the best pizzerias in Postojna. Robi and Ana, who today run the bar together with Valter, have already been working on the idea of a bar next to the airport, and this year it's been ten years since...

There is not a person from Kamnica who does not know the man who saved the Kamnica coffee industry. Florjan Mlakar, a well-known Kamnik café owner with gallant manners, invited his guests to the famous Kamnik Veronika for twenty years, until last year. Last year, however, due to a chain of events, he was left without his beloved central cafe, but he quickly started...
Ah, what a man would give to find good seafood here on the mainland. But not the haute cuisine, priced salted and with a seafood offering hidden among the haute cuisine. No, I want that real atmosphere, the fish butchers down by the sea, where they don't mess with artificial additives to the fish, but prepare them the way...
Where the murkas bloom, where the birds sing is the legendary song of the Avseniks, and under the hills, where the murkas really bloom, we can find the Murka pizzeria, located right next to the Mekinje monastery, from where we can enjoy a beautiful view of the surrounding Kamnik-Savinja Alps. Milenko, the owner of the pizzeria, has long been making sure that his guests...
Absinthe, a mystified green intoxicant, fatal for the weak and a gateway to the next world for the strong, is a strong and aromatic spirit with a high alcohol content. It is characterized by the mystique with which it was characterized by French artists and the ban on sales in the 1980s, but in modern Ljubljana it is most marked by the appearance of...
In the capital, we are richer for the first Scandinavian bar Pri Larsu. On Gornji trg in Stara Ljubljana, Norwegian Lars Jenssen fulfilled his long-standing dream and opened his own bar. A combination of circumstances made it possible for him to open this one right in Ljubljana. The London-trained sommelier and cocktail mixer has a special...
"Domžale's cakes have always been famous, but there was none better than Lenčkova's." The paraphrase of Prešeren's poem beautifully describes the Domžale confectionery tradition, which dates back to November 29, 1938, when Janez Lenček opened the first confectionery in Domžale. At that time still in the house...
Bogenšperk, one of the most beautiful and also the best-preserved Slovenian castles, was bought by Janez Vajkard Valvasor in 1672, and if he had known that today the castle also boasts a castle tavern, he would certainly have opened one in the castle in his time. Today, the castle is an idyllic excursion spot and a place where...
Anyone who at least swears by pizza knows very well that the biggest secret to a good preparation of this type of food lies in the quality of the dough. Tomaž Hrovat, who decided more than a decade ago to transform his homestead on Gora pri Komenda into a restaurant, certainly has no shortage of this kind of experience, since even as a child he has been in...
Do you still remember the good old canteens where the ladies with hairnets and those cut-off shoes with a big ladle served us the "special of the day" that tasted the same every day? Nowadays, restaurants for the masses are no longer what they used to be and are climbing a little higher on the culinary scale. In ...
In some places, it is difficult to talk about the people in the restaurant, the friendliness of the waiters or the homeliness of the village inn. Sometimes we like fast food, machine service and... a little change! Why not, at least for a moment, move away from kebabs and burgers in a thousand and one ways and try raw fish, namely sushi. Ljubljana ...
How one-sided we are! Left-wing, I could say, because too often we only stop at Slovenian culinary temples east of Geoss. So much incredible food is waiting for us right on the right border of our chicken homeland. Brežice, for many a forgotten part of culinary Slovenia, hides the culinary first league. In ...
