Slovenia, wedged between Austria and Italy, has always been proud of its unique heritage. The capital, Ljubljana, is a perfect example of this blend of German, Mediterranean, and Slovenian culture. The old town is a blend of Baroque, Renaissance, and Art Nouveau buildings, watched over by a medieval castle. Cut through the gardens of Tivoli Park to the National Museum of Contemporary History for a history of modern Slovenia, featuring crumbled statues of Stalin and a recreation of a WWI trench.

Booking for lunch is a good idea - while we were there several spec arrivals were turned away. Nice clean, white interior with space for maybe 15 -20 covers.Friendly service of a daily fresh menu. The penne with white fish and truffle oil was abundant and delicious. A local beer of just 2.5«v was a suitable accompaniment.The daily dessert of homemade lemon cheesecake was light and fresh. A final coffee brought the bill to a little over â¬20. Great value.

This years's new addition to Ljubljana's gourmet selection offers nice and well thought internal design with high quality service and tasty design food. We were party of 7 and have decided to go for 5 gourmet menus, 1 vegetarian option and 1 ala cart selection. Start with mushroom-nuts soup has been a nice treat. Followed by smooth and tasty beef tartare as a cold and ricotta...risotto made of barley... for warm starter.Mains were either beef cheeks on top of polenta or sea bass. For desert 2 typs of "kaiser schmaren" a local type of pastry based on crepes dough. All in all very tasty and perfectly displayed food and superb service. From price point a bit on the higher end ... a bit more then expected. But this is simply a result of growing upper class tourism in Ljubljana.2 remarks - as it is slow food, the restaurant should consider upgrading the chairs as they are rather uncomfortable... and some unique food experience is missing... something to remember.

Modern design, very nice interior, knowledgeable and high class waiting staff and very good food are main characteristics of this restaurant. Only down side is its location, away from city center, so use of taxi is recommended (unless you have a car at disposal). During the rush hour you can get stuck in a traffic jam. But since Ljubljana is a small town, this could take you away some 15-20 minutes, no more. Once you are in the restaurant, I am positively sure you will love it. Cuisine is on the modern side and very tasty. I had a fish and it was very nice.

The maître dâ convinced Dimitri that we both needed to order the 5-course menu (â¬50 x 2) and so we did. Our server was exceptionally good. She (I think her name was Marja) was a natural even though she was a student in an entirely different field. Atelje made sure that Dimitri and I had different dishes so we could taste everything. The food was beautifully presented and each dish was delicious. Marja made sure that we understood what we were eating and where it came from. She even gave us some history; it was an exceptionally fun meal. We drank 9 different wines with our meal and explained the varietal and where it came from . Even with 9 glasses of different wines, our total bill was â¬138,30âa bargain. Our first plates were (i) trout, trout roe, prosciutto cubes and pumpkin seed oil and (ii) asparagus tartar, ramson (wild garlic) oil and fresh curd. Our second plates were (i) shrimp, burnt cucumber green sauce with olive oil, and (ii) kohlrabi, white asparagus, hollandaise sauce with chicory, and (ii) cuttlefish, veal sweetbread, almonds and x.o. sauce. Our third plates were (i) sea bass, parsley root puree, smoked mussels and whey, and (ii) lamb, fennel, fava beans, tarragon oil, lamb stock. Our fourth plates were both rhubarb, chamomile ice cream and black tea gel. For dessert we both had sourdough ice cream, salted granola, coffee kombucha ice cream. We highly recommend this restaurant.

We truly lucked out stumbling on this place, and also landing a table without a reservation. Several people were turned away after us. The experience was top notch. From the time we walked in, to the time we left. Having to wait for about 5-10 minutes, the server offered us a half bottle of wine while we wait. (It was excellent too). Talk about hospitality!Once our table was ready the same server offered up several recommendations, which we took...and boy were we glad. We ordered the pork chop, which was my favorite. Grilled porcini mushrooms drizzled with olive oil. A coal baked potato loaded with feta and cottage cheese (a typical Slovenian food) and finished it off with a fillet. All were top notch. Added bonus for the chef coming out and mingling with us and other tables. She was a riot too! They obviously hire talent with personality here!

We came to this restaurant situated in the castle for dinner. For starters, there are a beautiful views of Ljubljana below. We opted for the five course tasting menu (â¬56) and were blown away by the food. Courses were small, creative, absolutely delicious and attractively presented. We also had the optional wine pairing which included five exceptional Slovenian wines. We highly recommend this restaurant! Best food we had in 14 days in Slovenia and Croatia.

We came here on our first night in Ljubljana, but we are planning to go back, since the pizza was really really good. Huge pizza with amazing dough, great and friendly service, we can only recommend it. We had tried the one with prosciutto and one with raw beef slices and rocket. Both were super tasty, maybe the best pizza we ever had. Value is also great, these pizzas were EUR 11 each, if I remember correctly. Also, the service was really quick.Dear Zsófia P, thank you for your visit and a very kind review. Please, visit us again soon and try some of our amazing pasta, salads and desserts too. Have a nice day! Team Capriccio

A must in Ljubljana. Enjoyed a fantastic breakfast, but you must confirm they are still serving breakfast these days. Dear HempColonel,thanks for finishing your review, we are honoured that you have kept our Monstera bistro in such great memory!As for serving breakfast, we stopped 3 years ago. Namely our lunch service expanded and we start serving at 11.30 already.So, for breakfast in Ljubljana, there are several tasty options elsewhere, for lunch you are welcome from 11.30 until 16.00 (last possible arrival) from Monday to Saturday. Reservations are advisable.Kind regards,Katarina B. VolÄiÄ
