What to expect

  • A great ‘one meal’ anchor that feels very Ljubljana
  • Lots of choice (easy for groups with different tastes)
  • Perfect pairing with a riverside stroll after

Planning tips

  • Arrive early for shorter lines—midday gets busy in good weather.
  • Bring a card, but have a little cash just in case a stall is cash-only.
  • If it rains, the vibe changes—check social updates before you commit.
