MICHELIN Guide Slovenia : Meet four chefs of Ljubljana’s food scene

"As Ljubljana’s first fine-dining restaurant, JB Restavracija embodies Chef Janez Bratovž’s generous, elegant attitude: it’s classic fine dining without being posh or artificially sophisticated, built on simple, clean ingredients handled with refreshing old-school perfection. Trained in Austria and revered for mentoring Slovenia’s new culinary generation, he balances a signature ravioli filled with foie gras—a local favorite for years—with an increasing focus on vegetables from his private backyard garden 25 kilometers from Ljubljana. I appreciate how his family is woven into the experience—his wife as office manager, his daughter as sommelier, and his son as sous-chef—an intimate touch that complements this Michelin Plate landmark of the city’s dining scene." - Le Guide MICHELIN
