Where To Eat In Slovenia – Reviews Of The Best Restaurants

Asking where to eat is probably one of the most common questions anyone visiting a certain place would ask. We can answer this burning dining question with a single word: Everywhere! Slovenia is known as a country of lovers of delicious food and almost everywhere you go you can find a wide variety of great places to dine, from fine dining to local spots serving blood sausages, goulash, and other hearty fare.

And don’t forget the fantastic Slovenian wines to accompany your meals, or Slovenia’s legendary pastries, from the delicious cremeschnitte to ‘prekmurska gibanica’ to strudel with a variety of fillings. There are many reasons to visit Slovenia, but perhaps surprisingly for some, food is definitely one of them.
