"This restaurant is set within the historic and picturesque Archers’ Tower in Ljubljana, one of the city’s most iconic landmarks, easily reachable in just a few minutes by funicular (last ride at 7 PM, so the return must be made on foot or by taxi). The elegant dining room, adorned with sgraffito murals from the 1950s inspired by local folk songs, provides the perfect backdrop for Igor Jagodic’s cuisine. The chef offers a single nine-course tasting menu, which can be reduced to seven or five courses, featuring modern and creative dishes that pay homage to Mediterranean tradition. Highlights include the turbot with Adriatic shrimp, leek, pistachio, and bacon, as well as the roe deer tartare with hazelnuts and shiso leaves. The wine list offers a deep exploration of local selections while also extending to France and Italy. We relied on the staff’s recommendations for a small wine tasting by the glass and were thoroughly satisfied.During the warmer months, don’t miss the opportunity to book a table outside on the ancient ramparts, where you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the city." - Michelin Inspector

This fine dining restaurant can be found in the famous Ljubijana castle (in the archer’s tower no less!), and is a delectable feast for your tastebuds (and the view is as breathtaking as the food). Nothing here will confuse the weary traveller, no curious combinations or fusion food at this restaurant. It is classic contemporary cuisine, but a few dishes certainly do stand out: Sulec freshwater trout or a very gratifying apple strudel. The chef (Igor Jagodic) has been named multiple times as the best chef in the country, and it definitely isn’t for nothing. Don’t hesitate and try the various tasting menu options.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Dining Fit for a Castle Strelec isn’t just a restaurant—it’s an experience. Dining inside Ljubljana Castle, overlooking the city lights, already feels special, but then the food arrives and you realise you’re in for something unforgettable. Every course was a flavour adventure, full of surprises and little touches that kept us smiling from start to finish. It wasn’t just dinner, it was a journey—each plate more creative and delicious than the last. The setting? Magical. The food? Fabulous. The whole experience? An absolute privilege. If you’re in Ljubljana and want a night that combines history, atmosphere, and incredible cuisine, Strelec should be at the very top of your list.

We just finished a two week trip to Slovenia and Croatia. We dined in some amazing restaurants, but on our last night, we experienced the best. We both ordered the five course tasting menu, with wine pairing, and it was incredible from start to finish. Firstly, the setting inside the castle walls is very unique and special. Our server was welcoming, professional and engaging, and obviously passionate about food. Likewise, the sommelier was so lovely, knowledgeable and selected wines perfectly paired to our meal. Then there was the food...every bite delicious. Truly one of the best meals ever. What a perfect way to end such an incredible trip to Slovenia.

Food and service were phenomenal. Matej was a great server. We did 5 courses and a wine pairing. The flavor combos were top notch. Plus what’s better than having dinner in a castle? Highly recommend. They were even able to accommodate a dairy allergy in my party!!

Review from 17 May 2025 After dining here, you will reflect upon this evening with a devilish smile of satisfaction. Prepare to be embraced by a Team of passionate first class professionals upon entering the calm and inviting space known as Archer’s Tower. An early seating for a 7 course meal allowed us to take advantage of the golden hour lighting which seamlessly faded to night. Do we eat everything? No, but tonight our answer was yes. 11 courses and 3+ hours passed without notice as we were lulled into a gastronomy experience by the creative force known as Head Chef Igor Jagodic. Igor’s attention to fresh flavors and cooking techniques can best be described as unparalleled perfection. While photos fall short of the evening’s full experience, please know you are in good hands. We were greeted by the Kitchen with two amuse bouches, followed by 7 courses and ending with two mignardises. Spectacular. We relied on Slovenian wine pairings by our knowledgeable Sommelier. Much gratitude and appreciation to all Strelec Team Members who ensured our evening was a memorable dining experience. **** Please note: if you decide to walk up to the Castle, consider smart footwear. You will be more comfortable, especially, when using your phone’s flashlight to walk downhill. The switchbacks end closer to Archer’s Tower versus the direct steep ascend path. Attire: Smart Casual, but you do you.

We had a really nice dinner at Strelec, which is located in one of the towers of Ljubljana Castle. The restaurant is a bit up the hill—taking the funicular is a good idea, especially on the way up, as the path is quite steep. Walking down afterwards is much more enjoyable. We combined our dinner with a visit to the castle and its museums, which worked out really well as a full afternoon and evening plan. In summer, you can sit outside with beautiful views over the castle grounds and the city. Inside, the round room has a special atmosphere too, with great views—some through historic arrow slits that remind you of the building’s medieval past. The staff were very friendly and attentive. With prior notice, they offered a pescatarian menu, which was much appreciated. Dinner started with a small bite from the kitchen, followed by a 7-course menu. Wine or non-alcoholic pairings are available—we chose the wine, and the local Slovenian selections were really well matched with the food. Everything was made from local ingredients, presented in a creative but not overcomplicated way. One of the highlights: the smoked butter with freshly baked sourdough bread—simple but unforgettable. It’s a great place, not just because of the location and views, but also thanks to the thoughtful food and warm service. Just make sure to book in advance—it can get busy, especially on weekends.

Our personal highlight in lubijana. The restaurant has a beautiful calm atmosphere and the location is an old archer tower in the castle. We had an amazing evening and the whole service team was super friendly, calm and professional. The food by itself was amazing we had the 9 course menu and especially the starters and desserts were our highlights. To anyone who's going to visit lubijana you should make a stop here. It was the first 1* restaurant for my girlfriend and I think we couldn't have made a better choice. Thanks to the whole service and kitchen team for this amazing evening. 5* from us ❤️

Five stars in every department! We had the 9 course tasting combined with the wine package. The food, wine and views over Ljubljana were exceptional. Our server Luka was super nice and knowledgeable and he, together with the rest of the super service minded staff, made our experience even better. Would highly recommend a visit!

Phenomenal from start to finish. We had the 7 course menu and were surprised by many more. The wine pairings were delicious and interesting. They were extremely creative in accommodating a dairy allergy as well. Our favorites were the beef tartare with shiso leaf, and a strawberry dessert. Reservations are a must.
