Spajza, Ljubljana, Slovenia

Spajza (Špajza) is a very good restaurant in Ljubljana. Among many other publications and web sites it is also featured in New York Times.

Dejan Dzananovic (Džananović) - co-founder and manager of VGmania, providing enjoyable and affordable travel to Italian youth, while also engaging in other investment opportunities. Born and raised in Novo Mesto. Father's family was from Gracanica - Dzananovic is a rather big retailer in Bosnia - not related to Dejan. He lives in Ljubljana and spends some time off in Basanija and Vinji Vrh pri Smarjeskih Toplicah. Graduated at EF where he is also on post graduate study. Tourism is in his blood all the way: he worked for Royal tourist agency, founded Lion Travel agency, managed AP Turizem agency, worked for CMT and with Miha Valentincic started VGmania. He played serious basketball (when 15 years old he was on Krka team) and among other sports football is also his passion. During Ten-Day War in 1991 he was in JNA in Mali Losinj and deserted immediately. He reads several books in the same period and latest one were Why We Want You To Be Rich by Trump&Kiyosaki, Guerrilla marketing and Foucault's Pendulum. He has a lovely daughter named Eneja. My cousin. A friend of his, when given a heavy menu in a restaurant, asked the waiter "Is this a reading club or a restaurant. Please bring me the best you have and take away this book."


A very cosy interior in Spajza. Chic rustic. A definite recommendation.
