Brunch 🍳
Lazy mornings and long brunches are my favorite way to start the day. Whether you’re craving classic eggs Benedict, fluffy pancakes, or something with a local twist, these spots serve up the best brunch in town.
My favorite places:
Le Petit Cafe
@sloveniafoodexperience
Le Petit is the place with the longest brunch history in Ljubljana and they are constantly upgrading the menu. So recently our fav choice Croque Madame got the alternative: Croque De Voialle Madame with chicken and sun dried tomatoes 👌 and if you’re more of a traditional breakfast lover you should try their poached eggs variations or delicious bagels 🤩

Kavarna Rog
@sloveniafoodexperience
Great brunch options, from healthy sandwiches, Croque Madame, omelettes and my favorite tuna toast in Ljubljana to yoghurt bowls and pancakes, Rog has it all. It can get quite busy on sunny weekend days but worth the little wait. And they have nice lunch menu too.
Summer time - try their home made ice cream and some desserts too.

Also great choices:
Papillon bistrot
@sloveniafoodexperience
Quite new hot Ljubljana spot that ticks all the boxes for weekday or long weekend brunches.
The interior is super adorable, especially when it’s sunny.
The Eggs Royale are delicious, with perfectly poached eggs on a super soft and slightly sweet brioche bun with just the right amount of salmon and avocado 🥑 You really can’t go wrong with this one. 🍳
Mimosas, matcha lattes, and coffee all get a thumbs up from us as well.
Did I mention the pancakes? 🥞 Fluffy and sweet but we had to share them since we were so full already.

Lana's corner
@sloveniafoodexperience
Good coffee (also to go!), delicious snacks, great croissants, plenty of wine choices and some snacks too. Lately they've introduced lunch options.

Details
Bistro Čad
@sloveniafoodexperience
Breakfast before Rožnik walk or after it? Well when it’s raining it’s probably best to just go directly there 😅 (since they offer parking too) We’re sure your day will start better if you open it with croissants, eggs or fresh fruits. Bistro Čad (as part of the hotel) is offering quite nice selection of breakfast foods and drinks. Did someone mentioned mimosa?

Bakeries & pastries 🥐
I can never say no to a great croissant or a savory pastry. Ljubljana’s bakeries offer everything from buttery French pastries to traditional Slovenian sweets.
Brot Pekarna
@sloveniafoodexperience
Fresh and delicious sourdough bread, quiches and croissants 🥐 The most Slovenian-like one is known as “potica” with walnuts and raisins. So delicious 😋Especially if you catch it still warm (and this can happen many times since they’re baking it fresh through the day). They have few seats so you can eat your pastry, order some coffee and just enjoy the day 🥰 or maybe try their cruffins or pain au chocolate? 🎉 You won’t miss with any 😄

Details
Fetiche Patisserie
@sloveniafoodexperience
The home of famous croissant rolls, viral croissant cubes and they even create home made spreads and fillings for croissants, like raspberry and mango. Just fyi can’t buy bread here (but you can buy cakes and they are superb, my fav pick is Marie😄)

Coffee & snacks ☕
Good coffee is non-negotiable.
Whether you’re after a smooth flat white, a perfectly pulled espresso, or a slow pour-over, these cafés serve up the best brews in town, sometimes paired with great pastries and a cozy atmosphere.
Stow
@sloveniafoodexperience
Great location, best specialty coffees, superb atmosphere in the Ljubljana City Museum. Worth visiting. You can buy coffee here too.

moderna. - coffee&cocktails -
@sloveniafoodexperience
Great coffee, nice interior, also good cocktails and iced lattes. Terrace is superb for observing people. Sometimes they have nice pie selection!

Details
Kavarna Cukrarna
@sloveniafoodexperience
Great place if you need to work or have a meeting, they have good quality (specialty) coffee (STOW) and in the warmer months the terrace is adorable. Feels like an oasis. Of course convenient if you're visiting Cukrarna gallery too.

Details
Where you can also buy some coffee:
Cafetino
@sloveniafoodexperience
Plenty of beans to choose from, I adore their hazelnut flavored coffee, such cozy place. It feels like you're sitting in a really old house observing people walking by or just talking with your friends.

If you're in a rush 🚀
Best coffee to go;
Stow 2 go (Specialty coffee shop)
@sloveniafoodexperience
When you really need that coffee but you're running through the center. Or you want to stroll around with coffee/matcha in your hand.

Details
Burek aka "balkan traditional meal"
Burek Olimpija
@sloveniafoodexperience
Open 24/7. Best in the middle of the night, always freshly prepared, hot and comforting. Kind of rolled savory pie that everyone loves. Various fillings: pizza, meat, cheese (like cottage cheese), even sweet ones like apple. Must try, price perfomance is insane. 3 eur.
