JAZ by Ana Roš

JAZ by Ana Roš feels like a playful take on fine dining … The dishes were creative and fun, with twists like pasta meeting Thai flavors (a tom yum inspiration), a classic Wiener schnitzel, a fresh and vibrant ceviche and an outstanding roebuck that really stood out. The desserts weren’t quite my favorite, but everything else was excellent. Service and atmosphere were great too, a fresh and lively addition to Ljubljana’s scene.

Good options to build your meal with however many courses you want. Prompt service and knowledgeable wine pairings to go with the delicious food. We had risotto and tonnato as starters, with the roebuck and sea bass as mains. We were happy with our choices and with the restaurant.

Very cool ambiance and decor, tucked away off an alley with bars and restaurants. Great cocktail selection, food was excellent. My partner has celiac and they were great about making accommodations, very knowledgeable and made us feel comfortable eating there - incredible service. A pricier dinner for the area but highly recommend!

The service was amazing the waitress was very nice, talked you through each dish and welcomed feedback. The meat dishes were very well made however I would say that some dishes did not have a good balance of salt but none the less the food and drinks are elevated and delicious! For desert I could not recommend enough the Kobariški štruklji, had them 6 years ago at another location and still to this day my favorite desert. The atmosphere is wonderful, lighting is dim and restaurant is quiet.

Great place for a light, elegant, upscale lunch without breaking your budget! When we first got there, we were met by a nice young gentleman with a friendly smile. The seating area was contemporary and cozy. The food was satisfying with the perfect portions to fulfill your gastronomical cravings without making you feel too heavy for your afternoon adventures.

10/10 experience. Incredible food, excellent service, wonderful atmosphere. Our visit left nothing to desire and I want to eat there everyday. It's absolutely worth it! Our waitress was very knowledgeable about wine and the dishes and made the evening extra special.

Dinner with High Expectations, but an Average Experience The New Year's Eve dinner at Restaurant Jaz in Ljubljana was, unfortunately, disappointing. Although the restaurant is known for its fine cuisine and innovative dishes, I feel the dinner did not meet expectations, considering the price of the dinner and the reputation of chef Ana Roš, who curated the menu. Unfortunately, the seventh course was the biggest disappointment of the evening. The dough puff, which we tore with our hands and dipped into cream, was not appropriate for a New Year’s dinner. This dish was too banal and simple, and the taste did not match the level of the rest of the evening’s dishes. Instead of ending the evening on an elegant note, we felt like we were at a children’s birthday party. This dish simply didn’t fit with the rest of the dinner and was not worthy of the evening itself. During the dinner, we also noticed that the waiter didn’t change the glasses after each wine change, but rather poured the new wine into the same glasses. Given the price of the dinner and the standard expected from a restaurant with such a reputation, whose menu is signed by a chef with three Michelin stars, I expected more professionalism and attention to detail. Ratings: Food: 3/5 – While some dishes were tasty, the rest of the dinner didn’t live up to high expectations. Ambience: 4/5 – The restaurant’s ambiance was pleasant, but nothing particularly exceptional. Value for Money: 2/5 – The price of 300 EUR per person simply did not justify the quality of food and the experience we had. Would not recommend.

I’ve never written a google review before but I simply have to after our dinner experience at JAZ by Ana Roš tonight. From the moment we sat down we were greeted by 2 chefs, and our wonderful bartender who would take care of us the rest of the evening. We ordered quite a lot of food but the meal was paced very well. The standout dishes we tried were the white fish ceviche, roast beef, langoustine pasta, and sea bass entree. While everything we ordered was amazing, these 4 were exquisite and wonderfully executed and balanced. The ceviche was incredibly fresh and everything on the plate including the garnishes positively contributed to the flavor profile of the dish. The roast beef was tender, perfectly seasoned, and was served with some super tasty bread. The langoustine pasta was my favorite dish of the night and totally blew my expectations out of the water, the raw langoustine was fresh and the perfect addition to the house made pasta and incredible sauce. The sea bass was prepared and presented beautifully, it was perfectly cooked and seasoned and the salad and mushrooms served with it were amazing. We ordered two desserts, both exceptional and a great end to our meal. We were mistakenly served the wrong dessert (super simple mistake) and the bartender gave us a free cocktail to make up for it which paired beautifully with our sweets. We also ordered several cocktails, all of which were super creative, tasty, and contributed to the amazing evening we were already having. The Pink Beauty cocktail was incredible and prepared and served very uniquely. The service was impressive to say the least and every service member was welcoming, kind, knowledgeable, and seemed to care greatly for their craft. The concept of “young dining” is super fun and the restaurant is beautiful, intimate, and curates a laid back vibe while also serving exceptional food. In general I can’t speak highly enough about our experience at JAZ, it’s a standout restaurant in Ljubljana and highlights elevated traditional Slovenian cuisine while also harmonizing international flavors and influence. It has been one of my favorite restaurant experiences ever and if I’m Ljubljana again I will make an effort to have a dinner at JAZ. I highly recommend this gem of a restaurant and can’t wait to return.
