Tradition with fresh inspiration

The restaurant remains faithful to a venerable tradition, thoughtfully blending this with fresh inspiration and an exploration of flavours. Commitment to cuisine comes first, both in the conception of the dishes and in the exploration of paths that elevate flavours to the highest level. To do this, the restaurant uses a special Spanish Josper charcoal oven to add a unique note to the flavours. In addition to the flavours of continental and Mediterranean food, the gourmet experience is complemented by a selection of traditional Slovenian dishes. The taste of the selected dishes is enhanced by an extensive wine list, which consists of the best Slovenian, French and Italian wines, as well as champagne and sparkling wines.

A piece of heaven in the heart of Ljubljana

The origin of the restaurant, which today remains faithful to a venerable tradition whilst exploring new flavours, dates back to 1960. One of the oldest restaurants in Ljubljana, in the past it was known as Zlata ribca (The Goldfish) due to its location on Ribji trg (Fish Square), and was famous for its traditional Slovenian dishes. This is what the restaurant strives to do to this day, when it takes food lovers on a gourmet experience in a newly renovated interior, enriched by the atmosphere of old Ljubljana and, in the warmer months, enhanced by the view of the Ljubljanica River.
