American Chefs Try SLOVENIAN FOOD! 🇸🇮 The Ultimate Food Guide in Ljubljana, Slovenia

[@stadrag]

If u ever come back, u should try "prekmurska gibanica" cake, also "trojanski krof" (donut), also go to city of Divaca and find a pizzeria Etna..they have great pizzas and also localy produced air dryed and aged steaks (very rare and good steaks of this quality) there is so much more to slovenia, not just Ljubljana and Bled 👍

[@DekiLj]

And Senožeče,one of best family restaurats with great food,cant find on web.

[@TheTravelingChefs]

Wow that sounds amazing! We would absolutely love to try those if we come back and visit again!

[@markonovak9107]

@@TheTravelingChefs Yeah, you really missed out on "prekmurska gibanica" and "trojanski krof" , they are a must in Slovenia :) Fun fact "trojanski krof" is the most sold donut in the world (at 1 location daily, regular shop), and it is not even close :) They sell 20 000 donuts in a day on most busy days, and on regular days around 10 000

Half of these places, i didn't even know exist. And i've lived in Ljubljana for a while. Well, probably because we make our meat and klobasa at home, bunch of us gather and we do the "dirty deeds" which is actually killing the animals and processing the food. Homemade is best made!

[@nikolatirol]

Slovenia is very beautiful. Perhaps the most beautiful in Europe. People are good, kind and warm. Slovenia's cuisine is excellent because it has tradition and the appropriate high-quality materials that are locally produced. I don't understand what two Americans can appreciate and say when the USA does NOT have its own kitchen. The main meal is bad cornbread with fatty meats, a few leaves of salad. This is neither a cuisine nor a tradition given the fact that hamburgers are named after the city where they were first made. Anyway Americans have never had a taste for anything. Long live beautiful and sunny Slovenia!

[@TheTravelingChefs]

@@nikolatirol Slovenia is stunning, and the people are kind and welcoming ❤️ each culture and cuisine has its own beautiful history, but what we would like to encourage others to do is for different people from different countries coming together to experience and appreciate those that are different from what they are used to, which is why we have traveled to every continent to make sure we learn and live by this. Let’s not judge each other’s countries/ cuisine too harshly or talk down on each other just because you personally do not enjoy it. I would recommend for you to travel more so you can be more open minded and accepting of others ❤️

[@eligaller9190]

Slovenian food is allmost like a fusion of polish and german food. If you think germans eat the most sauerkraut, multiply this by 100 and you are in poland.

Ima a vegetarian so instead of Ombolo i fill the bread with vegetables. There is one more food YOU HAVE TO TRY and its the all time winner for the best comfort food in the history of all comfort foods - Žlikrofi. Its a speciality form my home town Idrija in the northern Primorska region. Its a type of a dumpling.

Slovenia is a green beautiful place but the food here is nothing special in comparison to food just across the border in Italy and Austria. The problem is that the best meat and other ingredients produced in Slovenia are sent to Austria and Italy so it is very hard to find a high quality ingredients among Slovenian suppliers. You should better check food in Trieste, Klagenfurt and Graz if you really want to eat good.
