Restavracija Penklub

The restaurant location is like a hidden gem in the city. Super nice location and the service was amazing. At the end of the dinner our waiter even gave us a tour of the rooms and explained us the history. The food itself was really good but some dishes where not perfectly balanced.

I must say, this was the most delicious food i have ever tasted! The service was 10/10, chef Mojmir is so polite and profesional. Overall 10/10 would really recommend this culinary experience

One of the best places we’ve ever been to. Finally, you could try a wine before ordering it—yes, it was a choice between two bottles (we described to the perfectly professional waiter what we’d like to drink, and he offered two options), but it was still a choice. Not to mention the tasty compliments before and after the main dishes were served. A great combination of quality, service, atmosphere, and price. If we are in Ljubljana again, we will definitely come back.

I don’t have the appropriate vocabulary to describe how wonderful this meal was. This is definitely the fanciest meal I’ve had in the last three months in Europe, and it was spectacular. Worth every cent. The staff was perfect and friendly, setting was immaculate, and the food was indescribably good. Hats off to whoever came up with the menu here. Don’t let the unassuming exterior of this building fool you into going to another restaurant. This is a historic building and the restaurant shares it with other entities. They are located on the second story of the building. I’ve included photos to guide you to wonderful food.

Everything was perfect – the food, the service, the atmosphere. The music was carefully chosen, and the waiter took the time to explain everything in a calm and pleasant way, speaking beautiful Slovenian. His knowledge of wine was truly impressive. The food was outstanding from the first to the last bite. I especially have to mention the dessert – I’m usually not a big fan of sweets, but this one was simply the best I’ve ever had. Everything on the plate fit together perfectly, and even though I expected it to be good, I was still amazed by how rich and balanced the flavors were. I've been in the PEN restaurant before, every time is special, thank you.

Amazing experience. Food was superb, very intense flavours. Service also exceptional. We had one dish that we really enjoyed and as a joke complained that it should be more because it was so good and after the main we received another plate of it free of charge. This kind of gestures quickly separate you from the rest. Wine is very reasonable priced for a restaurant of this level. Highly recommended!

Overall experience was great. Had a bit of trouble finding it though 😄. The atmosphere and staff were excellent, food was local, somewhat traditional, but with a modern twist. Good wine pairings, with also local wine. Would recommend!

We attended the New Year's Eve gala dinner, and it exceeded our expectations. The service was outstanding—exceptionally attentive, friendly, and swift. While my wife enjoyed the wine pairing, I opted for a craft beer, which took a bit longer. The waiter acknowledged this deviation from their standards, apologized, and mentioned the beer wouldn't be on the tab. This gesture epitomizes their world-class service. We indulged in a 5-course menu, which felt more like 8 (so much food!). Each course was delectable; personal preferences aside, it was a culinary delight. The wines, thoughtfully chosen from different Slovenian regions, perfectly complemented the dishes, elucidated by the waitstaff. I highly recommend opting for the wine accompaniment. Overall, a flawless evening—this restaurant is a top-notch choice for food enthusiasts willing to invest a bit more for an exceptional experience!
