After the excitement of Lake Bled, Bev and I finally got back to Ljubljana and I suggested this restaurant as the one we had planned to go to had already closed.

It’s a Balkan themed restaurant and I liked the quirky layout inside. It was a larger restaurant than I had realised, so we didn’t have a problem getting a table.

It’s not the normal view when dining at a restaurant, but it all added to the atmosphere. Bev meandered around the restaurant taking photos of the decor and she was on good behaviour all evening, hardly complaining about anything.

Chicken schnitzel is one of my favourite dishes, so I went for that and it was keenly priced and looked suitably appetising. The chicken was tender, the coating was crispy and the chips were fluffy inside and firm on the exterior. I also got a pot of ajvar as I rather like that, it’s mainly based on roasted red peppers.

The beer is the Osječko Nefiltrirano Točeno Pivo, a lager which was clean and refreshing, it’s as reasonable as I’ll find a lager to be. It was all decent value for money, I think the meal, beer and ajvar came to around £13.

The service here was friendly and the venue felt properly rustic and authentic, with the food being hearty and full of flavour. This was our last dining experience in Ljubljana and it certainly didn’t let us down.
