Awe you’ve brought us back in time! We hope to return to Ljubljana one day! We recognized a few of the restaurants and delicious dishes! Great video guys thank you! ~Cara 😊

[@BucketListTravellers]

We thought exactly the same, Ljubljana was amazing and we would love to see more of the country. Slovenia has certainly been one of our unexpected surprises of Europe. Thanks for watching Cara!😀

[@BucketListTravellers]

Thanks for watching! Ljubljana is a wonderful city with a great food scene.😋

[@FrugalTravellers]

Wow. You guys got our mouths drooling there! All looks delicious but that cake dessert really caught my eye! Well done.

[@BucketListTravellers]

Those Kransky sausages were so simple and so good. The desserts were the rewards for pronouncing them correctly, our Slavic languages need a lot of work! Thanks for watching! - Jon

Best regards to you both and city Ljubljana from Belgrade, Serbia 😊

Hi Rob from Australia going to Slovenia this Friday for a week and just wanted to tell you that I absolutely loved your video. I definitely think I will try the fine dining experience

[@BucketListTravellers]

Hi Rob, good to hear from you. How did you find your trip to Slovenia? It was certainly a surprise packet for us. We wish we had stayed longer. Thanks for watching!

[@TimeTravelWalk]

I always enjoy watching your video. It is so much fun to go on the journey with you. 😊

Thank you for visiting my hometown and being objective 👏👍

[@BucketListTravellers]

Your home town is wonderful, I was lucky enough to celebrate my birthday there. We need to return and explore Slovenia more, it was amazing! Thanks for watching Ptica! - Jon

[@freebeacher]

Stews look fantastic!

[@BucketListTravellers]

They are perfect on a cold wintery day like when we were there! Thanks for watching!

[@Indianinthemachine]

Looks good thanks for showing us a country that for some of us, is less travelled... unique food experience too... love the hearty soups!

[@Indianinthemachine]

I wanted to recommend "Always Be Changing Croatia"... really amazing food and beaches not too far away. :)

[@BucketListTravellers]

Funny you mention Croatia, that is where we are currently and we love it here!

[@BucketListTravellers]

Thanks for watching! Slovenia is very underrated and we will have to return again to explore more!

[@Indianinthemachine]

@@BucketListTravellers Wow good sync :) I for one, would like to know about how affordable Croatia is... looks like a must destination. Enjoy and thanks for your great content.

[@BucketListTravellers]

@@Indianinthemachine 😁 we'll definitely do a 'how expensive is Croatia' for you, thanks for your support!

My Slovenia❤

[@BucketListTravellers]

We loved Slovenia and have to come back to explore in more detail next time. Thanks for watching!

[@Justin_Leah]

Would you say you use spoons more than forks in Slovenia? It all looks tasty. The lard slices seemed interesting for sure.

[@BucketListTravellers]

We certainly did use a lot of spoons when in Slovenia! The lard was certainly something unique that we hadn't tried before. Thanks for watching Justin and Lea! -Jon

[@aljosaskrabelj8412]

Lard slices are popular in Slovenia. More otside Ljubljana then in it. They come in many forms. Most popular is the one coated with paprika on the sides. And yes...it must be served cold.

[@jcraigshambaugh5417]

Over all Slovenia is hard to beat .Is it in your top ten or top three? Food, Scenery ,Cleanliness,History and Architecture . With all their variety not much it doesn`t have .

[@BucketListTravellers]

Hi there @jcraigshambaugh5417, Slovenia was such a wonderful surprise for us and we are sad that we didn't spend more time there. It is certainly in our top 10 countries that we need to revisit and explore in more detail. I would say it is the most underrated country in Europe. - Jon

[@jcraigshambaugh5417]

Soca valley was my favorite ,Piran, Tolmln,And the food in Maribor is as good as Ljbianna . All valleys of the alps Luce, Bohinj.@@BucketListTravellers

[@bojanstare8667]

Most restaurants in Ljubljana are trap for turists. Of course you have found some traditional dishes, but in their comercial variants. Most of really good and original dishes you have to find around Slovenia, nostly not in bigger towns. You will find a real amazing dishes for more cheaper price. Eastern Slpvenia, Karst and inland south Slovenia have more to offer than Ljubljana. I was born in Ljubljana and I have lived most of my lifetime in Ljubljana, so I can say a lot about food in Slovenia. Prekmurska gibanica, Bograč and Bujta repa are the best in Prekmurja region - north east of Slovenia. In east Štajerska (also in Prekmurje) you can find the best Meso iz Tunke, Štajerska gibanica and Sirove gibonce. Mybe you will find also Mlečne murke s krompirjem. Also Gobova obara z ajdovimi žganci, Polnjena svinjska rebra and Telečja pećenka. The best Pršut you can find on Karst plato (near border with Italy) with nice wine Teran. In upper Savinjska dolina and Notranjska you can find Savinjski and Notranjski želodec. It is salami, but unique with different shape and in urinal bladder. Of course bladder is cleaned before filled with meat. In Gorenjska region you can find also their type of this salalami, but filled also with porridge. So maybe you would find next time some native people around Slovenia, who should show you where and what our country could offer to You. At last I have not listed all of traditional dishes from Slovenia. I have written original names, which you can copy/paste to the Google. In manny Yt vids I have seen a lot of commentar about how tasty our food is. But for us those dishes are of low quality. Better dishes you would find and taste all around Slovenia in local reastaurants.

[@BucketListTravellers]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts! We appreciate your insight into the broader Slovenian food scene. You're absolutely right that Ljubljana can sometimes cater more to tourists, and we’re always keen to explore more authentic regional dishes. We definitely want to explore more of Slovenia and will keep your suggestions in mind for our future travels through Slovenia. Exploring lesser-known places and connecting with locals is our preferred way to travel, it was just unfortunate that we didn't have much time to spend in Slovenia (we were at the end of our 3 month visa). We’ll be sure to try these dishes next time, and we’re grateful for your detailed recommendations!

[@BojanZagar-og5ph]

@@BucketListTravellers Thank you very much for your answer. When you plan your next visit to Slovenia, please contact me at least a month in advance so that I can send you addresses, contacts and interesting places in Slovenia. Best regards from Ljubljana.

[@IceJackal1984]

You make nice presentation, like it.. maybe visit Bangladesh some time ?

[@BucketListTravellers]

Thanks for watching Ice Jackal. We've already visited Bangladesh back in 2018. Unfortunately we weren't vlogging back then so didn't capture it. We might be back one day.

Thanks for watching.

[@BigJoe1]

So which dish was your favorite one of all you have tried?

[@BucketListTravellers]

Hi Big Joe, thanks for watching! My favourite (Jon here) was the definitely the Kransky sausage. My overall favourite experience was the Michelin restaurant up in the castle, amazing food, service and outstanding value!!

[@EmilRojc]

In Ljubljana you can find only 10% of our food. ... Ok for vlog is easy to find food in centre of Ljubljana :)

[@BucketListTravellers]

We definitely need to return to Slovenia and do it justice. We were only passing through on this trip and very quickly fell in love with the country. Thanks for watching.

[@ParisianThinker]

Do they ever serve broccoli, carrots or cauliflower with fish? Is it always pork or some kind of meat?

[@BucketListTravellers]

Thanks for watching. We definitely had plenty of vegetables in our meal at Gostilna na Gradu, for example we had fennel with our seabass (14:59).

[@Mountainlover390]

Nice video 👍👍

[@BucketListTravellers]

Glad to hear you liked it, thanks for watching!

[@oldbroadabroad6619]

Just curious, why not put AUD in your videos?

[@BucketListTravellers]

Good question! The majority of our viewers are from the USA and we don't have many Aussie viewers funnily enough. Furthermore, it tends to be more readily understood by viewers in multiple countries. We have Australian vlogs now and definitely put AUD in those!

[@kravselj]

As a slovenian I see that most of "food tourists" visits ljubljana city centre along river and bled. That's quite a mistake, because as far as I saw it's most tourist traps. It's nice place to visit for sure, but if you want to taste some real food you need to go outside tourist areas.

[@BucketListTravellers]

Hi @kravselj, you raise an good point. Unfortunately for us, we didn't have too many days to spend in Slovenia, but would love to take the time to see more of the country next time. Which areas would you recommend we visit outside of the main tourist areas?

Slovenija je čudovita! Hvala za ogled!

[@Saavik256]

As a slovenian who lives in Ljubljana, I must say that I hardly ever eat any of these dishes or at any of these places. :P

[@BucketListTravellers]

Hi Saavik256, thanks for watching. What dishes and restaurants in Ljubljana would you recommend visitors go to?

[@Saavik256]

@@BucketListTravellers I'm a simple guy and a lot of places in the old town are, let's be honest, a bit of tourist traps. As I have not really left my home in the past few years, I don't really know what's still open, but one place I would definitely recommend is "Gostina pod Rožnikom" which, while probably comparable to old town, actually delivers super well. :) As for dishes ... depends really on what kind of food you're into. They offer a lot of traditional dishes and a lot of worldwide selection. The staff there are friendly and won't bite if you ask. :)

[@BucketListTravellers]

@@Saavik256 Yes we agree that there are a few tourist traps in the old town. We did however enjoy the places we went to and thought that the pricing was reasonable, especially the Michelin rated restaurants. Thanks for the suggestion. We loved Ljubljana and will definitely visit again.

[@Saavik256]

@@BucketListTravellers You are always welcome! :) And yes for the Michelin rated restaurants the prices definitely are very reasonable! :) I am glad you enjoyed my home city and I hope you will on subsequent visits as well!

[@bobthedestroyer6205]

Slovenia has the best pršut, fight me.

[@BucketListTravellers]

We won't disagree!

[@MilatovichFamily]

Štruklji are NOT dumplings for fucks sake! The dough is STRECHED to very thin sheet, rolled tight and put in tin foil or traditionally in cloth and cooked in boiling water, than they are cut to portions!

[@BucketListTravellers]

Hi Zagica, thanks for watching the video and taking the time to write a comment. We would appreciate that you keep your comments civil on our channel please. We agree with you that it not typically what comes to mind as a dumpling. We research food prior to vlogging and in this instance that it had been described a number of times as a dumpling, see here for example: jernejkitchen.com/recipes/cheese-dumplings-struklji .

(3:40) I stopped watching after that. You clearly don't know what you're talking about. Minestrone is a vegetable soup, and it's a meat dish that you're eating.

[@VladimirVladimirovich1952]

So… same as the rest of Eastern Europe. Cool
