Pri Vitezu, Ljubljana, Slovenia

Pri Vitezu - "A long-time favourite of Ljubljana's gourmands, Pri Vitezu is rightfully considered amongst the city's best, and also manages to capture the true identity of the Slovene capital in both its ambience and cuisine - namely a complimentary amalgam of competing Austrian and Italian influences, wrapped in a quaint little package. Great value lunch specials, degustation menus, and other simple fare can be enjoyed on the terrace or in historical-style dining rooms, while a magnificent vaulted salon is reserved for à la carte meals from the focussed seasonal menu. The end result is an exceptionally homey dining experience right in the heart of the city centre, and a highly recommendable one at that." - by InYourPocket

There's also a large library of books (including many in English) to keep you busy on rainy days, whilst sampling gourmet coffee or something from the impressive wine list.

Zlata Ladjica, Ljubljana, Slovenia

Zlata Ladjica - "The 'Golden Ship' has lots of vaulted ceilings, pictures of sailing ships, rigging, sails and a DJ booth inside a wooden barrel, the rum selection is surprisingly lacking in variety and there’s not a sailor in sight, but it beats the lacklustre banality of most Irish pubs any day of the week. As well as the main bar area there are also a couple of smaller rooms for more intimate moments, and one of central Ljubljana's biggest terraces. There's often €3 drink specials at the weekend - check the signs outside for what's on offer." - by InYourPocket

Druga Violina, Ljubljana, Slovenia

Druga Violina - "Good locally grown produce, a simple short menu of Slovene classics, top location in the city's old town, but there's a twist in the tale with the 'other violin' (as the English translation of the name goes). It's actually a project for people with special needs, who produce much of the food on farmland near Ljubljana and also work as waiting staff in the restaurant itself. Come and see what it's all about, while enjoying one of the fresh local dishes either in the rustic dining room or on the delightful cobbled pavement outside." - by InYourPocket
