The MICHELIN Guide Slovenia : November Gourmet Ljubljana – exciting events and interesting new restaurants

"Overlooking the banks of the Ljubljanica, this spacious, uncluttered newcomer from Jorg Zupan feels like a lively blend of bistro, pub and inn—an easy place to grab a drink and enjoy food that marries tradition with current culinary trends. The kitchen runs seven days a week with 12 chefs (six per shift), reflecting a sustainable approach to working practices, and the menu skews hearty with international accents: lamb ragu with hummus, truffle risotto, pappardelle with blue cheese and walnuts, aged beef steak with potatoes, garlic butter and salad, and pork chops from Krškopolje pigs with caramelised potatoes, lemon vinegar and tarragon. Less sophisticated in style than AFTR but driven by the same insistence on top‑quality local ingredients, it offers a more informal ambience and satisfyingly generous portions; entrance windows patterned with images echoing the chef’s tattoos hint at the playful personality within." - Guide MICHELIN
