This is the oldest slovene inn, named Gastuž.It is very nice place, just next to monastery Zice, in an old country style. You can have a coffee break there. They offer all kinds of drinks - Lasko beer is very tasty.Upstairs is a good reastaurant where you can get also typical local meals.
Lovely padio style cafe with umbrellas and live music, located beside the river. English speaking staff was very helpful and provided good service. Also, an internet cafe inside. Traditonal goulash for me and the lamb for my boyfriend. Elegent presentation and CHEAP! Drink the local wine, both reds and whites were great and very inexpensive.
This cafe in the center of Ljubljana occupies the former home of the 16th-century humanist Primoz Trubar, author of the first printed book in Slovene (Catechismus et Abecedarium). The rooms are rather small but comfortable, with attractive wood paneling and light-colored plaster walls, and there's an outside dining area too. It's primarily a coffeehouse and bar, but it offers a selection of hot dishes, soups, and salads, so it's a popular lunch spot for both locals and tourists. The Slovenes are fond of salads, and these were the best I found in Ljubljana: large, full of goodies (not just a bowl of lettuce with a couple of carrot shreds on top), and they didn't overdo the dressing -- it was light and tasty and didn't make the salad soggy. The soups are very good too, and the bread (crusty wheat) is absolutely wonderful. I ate here twice during my stay in the city, and had a great meal...
This cafe is off the beaten track, on a stone-paved square in the center of Piran with a Renaissance cistern and shuttered houses with peeling pastel paint. The indoor part is crowded and can get unbearably noisy; but if the weather is suitable (as it is well into October), you can sit at an outside table, watch the passing scene, and fend off the stray cats. (Piran has the healthiest and best-fed stray cats I've ever seen.) Not to mention that the food is outstanding. The best grilled squid on the planet, bar none. It's tender, flavorful (lots of garlic), and cooked to an al dente texture; too many places that try to cook squid end up turning it squishy or rubbery. The mussels (in broth, with a Parmesan, parsley, and bread-crumb topping) are very good too. The sardines are flavorful, if a little oily; the squid salad was tasty, but I thought the pieces of fish and vegetable were too...
Driving between Ljubljana and Maribor, stop off at the Trojane donut shop and cafe for a nice break from driving. You can't miss it as it is right on the road and there will be about 100 other cars there. One can get fresh, hot donuts (called Krof) to go or can sit in the cafe and enjoy a huge menu that is reasonably prices and tastes good. The menu really has any type of food in Slovenia you can imagine. I ate myself sick trying to try several things, plus eating a couple of Krof's. They are rather substantial (but not as good as Krispy Kreme). Be ware though as it can be crowded and you may have to wait for a table. Just walk in and scout out a table as there is a lot of turn over. Table in the back sport a wonderful view. I believe there may also be a hotel there.
Slovenian food in general is very hearty with incredibly LARGE portions for great prices.Try tavcarjev hram (Tavcarjev ul 4) or Spajza (Gornji trg 28) for traditional Slovene food! Ploughmans lunch with Sauerkraut, sausages(Klobasa),Wiener Schnitzel (Dunajski Zrezek),black pudding, potatoes dumplings (Njoki)possibly more.Or the golaz (goulash soup). Infact, Slovania has lots of other fantastic soups too.
On my first night in Ljubljana, I was running out of money so wasn't sure what we'd get for dinner. We got a pension outside of town (everything was full in Old Ljubljana) and I finally decided the time had come to call home for some funds. So we took the bus back into town, checked the bank account, it was replenished! thanks Mom! and went to the nicest place we saw. Cantina Mexicana is in a lil courtyard near the main square, where the poet stands. The area was filled with people and there was a happy atmosphere. The Cantina was a great place in every way, service was professional and relaxed, food was delicious. I mostly remember the fine Slovenian wine we had, recommended by our expert waiter.The fact that we had cash to spend made us happy enough... but we were lucky to spend it in the best place we could have wishes for. :-)
The bus from Trieste to Piran stopped very near this restaurant I guess... cuz it's the first thing I saw. Large terrace under a pergola, rustic setting, most inviting. I went inside to check the menu and ask if they could do grilled steak and french fries, no problem, so that's where I ate.The young woman who served at the tables outside was really nice and helpful, a bit shy but with a genuine smile. She was embarrassed that the owner inside would not let me call the youth hostel from his phone, but she needn't have worried. I understand that they can't let everyone use their phone. I got a calling card when I could. And walked everywhere easily. Piran is a small place. Steak and french fries were very good, cooked just like I wanted. Great beer too.The menu offered lots more, mostly grilled food, very simple and tasty. For everything we had, I'd say this place was cheaper than all...
There are two beers made in Slovenia: Union and Lasko. I get the feeling that the majority of folks prefer Lasko lager to Union. I think they are about equal. But Union's dark beer (temno pivo) is superior to the rest. It's not as easy to find sometimes, and usually it's bottle only. The gostilna in Bled has it on tap, thankfully.
The best place for travelers not bent on gourmet restaurants are local "gostilnas", traditional restaurants serving simple, hearty and inexpensive meals. Most of the one shave a bit more rustic feel to them than a modern eatery. Menus vary but you can usually get a set lunch for around $4-5, maybe a tad more for those in a bigger city. Not a lot for vegetarians but then again Slovenia doesn't offer too much to vegetarians.

Q: My husband and I are planning two nights in July - is it better to base ourselves In Bled or Bohinj, or do one night in each?
