Jurman, Ljubljana, Slovenia

Jurman - "Located on the outskirts of town, this popular family-friendly gostilna packs in the locals with a menu that seems to have a bit of everything and a somewhat kitschy atmosphere that manages to include knights, a waterfall and an video arcade all under the same roof. The logo features a waiter sprinting hands full to someone's table, and true enough the waiters are hurrying around making sure everyone is seen to quickly whether they are inside or out near the children's play area. It's a good budget-conscious option and the food isn't half-bad either. They've also recently opened am adjacent bar that's already quite popular with the locals.", In Your Pocket, Ljubljana

Marko Mlakar - managing partner at Amrop Adria, the executive search agency, born and raised in Ljubljana, while strategically running the company, sometimes he also needs to fix the A/C in the office, tennis is his favourite sport by far and he's really good at it, he organized Lions Rotary golf tournament with a charity spin, Boot Camp and Kettlebells at Vigorground keep him extra fit, read Sheth's Clients for Life and Nikola Tesla's biography, was active basketball player for 10 years, surf's well, but not as good as Filo and will one day give all his best to the best in sport. Connection-wise.
