We ate here having read the reviews in various guides and on Trip Advisor. What a disappointment. Cute place, good waitress, food extremely mediocre to the point of us giving up on our meal. Tasteless and poorly cooked. I rarely give such a negative review but this in no way met any expectation and was the most expensive meal we... More

Spajza may very well be the "Top Choice" of Lonely Planet, but i think that was a couple of years ago.. The food is uninspiring and expensive. My girlfriend and I ordered the "Tasting Menu" 1 with meat, 1 with fish" The dishes were boring, lacking in taste and plain boring. The squid dishes were very dry (2 x squid... More

I have to preface this by saying that we only ate at one restaurant in Ljubljana, and it was this one. But it was our last night on a ten day visit to Croatia and Slovenia and it was definitely the best meal we had. If you're willing to splurge (35 euros per person), definitely do the tasting menu.

We had dinner here one night because we saw other reviews from TA. The restaurant was nice and the food was not bad. However, I think the price is quite high compared to the others on TA that offering the same quality. It's great to try once but I don't think I will come back. See my photos & please... More

Eating here is not cheap, but what you get is excellent service and fine food - and pretty good wine. Appetizers of finest shredded and marinated ham, topped with Parmesan and rocket appeared within minutes and were a taste sensation. Venison was cooked to perfection, as was my wife's duck breast with vegetables and cognac sauce. We ate in an... More

This restaurant is worth a visit just to look at the fantastic old building, the food's not bad either! As vegetarians our choices were limited, however what we had was mostly really nice. We had asparagus with walnut sauce to start. second course I had pasta with truffles, my wife had gnocchi with garlic pesto. Home made ice-cream for dessert.... More

Traditional Slovenian restaurant serving updated vernacular cooking. Slightly off the main tourist trail at the southern edge of the old town. Smart but welcoming decor spread over several rooms. Very tempting tasting menu but settled on the a la carte, which showed variety and imagination, particularly with regard to the range of carnivorous options on offer. Excellent freebie starter of...

At first sight, it was strange to me that there was no menu outside, so we had no clue about the prices. We peeped in, and there was nobody inside (at least we thought). Later we discovered that the restaurant has many rooms. A day later we turned back, because the good critics we read about the place. I had... More

Traditional restaurant, with innovation and fine cuisine. Inside the atmosphere is great: caring of details and furnished in very good taste. It was Easter and we decide to have a late lunch. Of course they were open even at 3.30pm. The menù is wide and appetizing. They offer both fish and meat. Each dish is very accurate and served in... More

One of the best meals we enjoyed during our recent visit to Ljubljana. The menu offers contemporary interpretations of traditional Slovenian dishes and was top-notch both in presentation and quality. The atmosphere is casual and cozy, with an homey, "shabby chic" vibe. My wife and I enjoyed the truffled monkfish and grilled sea bass, while our son had the duck... More
