This place came highly recommended, so we decided to give it a try. There were a couple of outdoor tables along the street, so we decided just to sit there and enjoy the outdoors. This place looks a bit rough around the edges (with some raucous conversations around the bar), but service was quick and courteous, and the food was inexpensive and of excellent quality.

Favorite Dish: I tried the 1/2 chicken with chips, while Sara tried the seafood goulash. The chicken was very tender and tasty. Sara's paprika-laden dish smelled divine, and Sara certainly didn't find the flavor hard to take.

Always eat here when in Bled. If i cant finsh it have it wrapped and finish it later. Always good but can get busy in summer and weekends. See the English beer cans behind the bar? I put those there. Also recomend Cafe Krcma opposite next to hotel Jelovica. Nice little locals bar.

Favorite Dish: Recomend puran ljubljana, turkey in bread crumbs stuffed with ham and cheese and fried. Eat half and take the other half for tomorrows lunch cold.

I liked this place.

Yes, it probably caters for the tourist crowds in season (more or less empty when I visited) but it feels like a proper gostilna....very like a UK pub, actually.

I liked the landlord/head barman/manager/whatever he was too.........very much like a stereotypical English pub landlord, cheery and full of bonhomie and jokes. Nice chap.

There are outside tables for eating when the weather is nicein a small courtyard but be aware that the high terrace/patio area (accessed by wooden steps) is only for pizza.

Slovenian pizza is excellent, but I wanted something different. so we chose from the (quite extensive really) menu. I had the pork and roasted potatoes, my frined the pork with onion sauce.

Slovenian pork is so much nicer, tastier and more tender than UK pork. I don't know why, but suspect they use younger pigs than we do.

The meal was delicious and very warming (it was getting a bit chilly by then).

The beer was good too.

Highly recommended for a good basic pub-style meal in pleasant surroundings (building dates from 1903) , nothing really special but well-cooked, tasty, reasonably-priced and very filling (neither of us could finish meal or beer!).

This is a popular place with locals and tourists. Located 20m from he bus stop . the meals are huge for about 6-8 euro. I had stuffed peppers and it was great ..loads of sauce. Better for dinner though…big cooked meals even at lunch.

I have been eating here many times, and have always had good meals. They serve big plates here and have very good service.
If you go to the bar you will see that all the walls and ceiling is decorated with car number plates from all over the world.

Favorite Dish: Gulash

Had a rather unpleasant meal this month (august 2007) at Gostlina Pri Planincu.
The place was absolutley full of flies, so many that you had to keep swatting throughout the meal to keep them from landing in your food.
It was also full of people chain smoking. I should have been warned off by the thick fog as I entered, but I'd read some good reviews and wanted to taste some local food.
I may have made a unfortunate choice of Slovenian speciality – I don't remember the name, but I was presented with a huge plate of meat: Greasy sausage-like meat rissoles, even greasier meat patties, pork chops, and kebabs accompanied by chopped raw onion. More than enough meat to feed a family of 4 for a week, but nothing tasted good!
It was comparativley cheap, given the huge quantities of food, but good quality it certainly was not.

Interior is quite quaint, food was disappointing and service was very poor. We were over charged on the bill and when I brought it to their attention they were quite rude and non apologetic in thier response.

This is a typical Slovenian inn with typical fare, recommended by many before us. They are right in every respect. A few others offer almost the same but slightly different atmospher. They are Union (up hill 1 block beyond the Park Hotel--the way the bus goes) (owned by the beer company?)and another in the lower floor of the Grand Hotel Toplice, Cesta Svobode 12.

Favorite Dish: Cream Garlic Soup. If you know it , you need no description. It does not reek of garlic and is healthy food.
