Gostilna Rožnik

Such a special place! Rožnik has one of the best views over Ljubljana, and the food is absolutely amazing – real homemade flavors that warm your heart. It’s the perfect spot to relax, enjoy delicious local dishes, and soak in the beautiful scenery. If you’re anywhere nearby, don’t miss it – treat yourself, you’ll love it!

This is just a very unique place hidden in the heart of the park Nice outdoor seating with incredible view Waiter was very nice

Great place, peaceful, although a traditional destination for tracking up Rožnik it is usually nicely quiet and not crowded with tourists. If not only for a tracking destination, i can recommend you to eat or at least have a coffee or desert here. The friendly staff will provide you with good, mostly traditionally Slovenian food and not those new-style hamburgers or some other bs. The Ljubljana Zoo is not far away to south-west, so take hike there if you still have enough energy and a couple of hours of daylight. Another interesting destination, a bit farther away than zoo, to north-east, might be the ski-jumping facilities of "Smučarski skakalni klub Ilirija". In the afternoon there you might admire brave young ski-jumpers flying down the hill up to about 50 meters in the distance, i think. 50 meters might not seem a lot, but those are kids, girls too, it's quite something to see that from close.

It is a self-service restaurant, so be prepared to queue a bit in a rather tight space. But the staff are very friendly, the Štruklji is very tasty, and the view is great.

Nice place for a pit-stop. Strudel with apples and cherries was amazing. They have a lot of seats outside on the sun and also inside.

Rožnik is a 391-metre-high wooded hill accessible by several footpaths and recreational trails from Ljubljana's Tivoli park. Since the first half of the 19th century, it has been a favourite spot for local walkers. Before that, it was a place where the locals sought refuge from epidemic diseases, and even further back in the past the site of a leprosarium. Since the 16th century, the hilltop has been the site of a church of the Visitation, redesigned by the architect Candido Zulliani in the 18th century. A little down the hill from the church, the Pri Matiji inn was opened in the early 19th century. Occasionally, the inn provided accommodation to the greatest Slovenian writer of all time, Ivan Cankar (1876-1918). The building opposite the inn now houses the Ivan Cankar Memorial Room. A Cankar monument sculpted by Frančišek Smerdu was erected on the hilltop, which was named Cankarjev vrh in the writer's honour. The most interesting in the hill's network of criss-crossing footpaths is the about 3-kilometre-long Jesenko Trail (Jesenkova pot), named after the botanist and geneticist Fran Jesenko (1875-1932). The trail leads past 30 different local tree species marked with information plates. Several of the hill's longer recreational trails lead across the nearby Šišenski hrib hill to Mostec, Ljubljana's popular recreational centre and event venue. At the foot of Rožnik, the Ljubljana Zoo is located.

The perfect place. Great food, great food and lovely atmosphere!

We reserved a place for a small group and ordered a menu for the group. The food was delicious, staff friendly. All in all good experience.
