Amazing Vegan Lunch

Stumbled upon this restaurant and what can I say. The food was amazing, fresh and you could taste, that the chef has a lot of experience. The dishes were well balanced and seasoned. Absolutely amazing food, can only recommend😄

Delicious food and great selection

very good food, nice atmosphere and a large selection. I particularly liked that there were not only classic vegan dishes, but also creative interpretations and veganized Slovenian food

Highlight of our Ljubljana trip

Only went here for breakfast, so can’t judge the dinner options, but breakfast was amazing with really good bread, a tasty cheese selection, nice croissants, good cakes and more. Came back every day that we were in Ljubljana. A bit pricey for Slovenia (but not compared to other Central European countries) but totally worth it in our opinion.

Overhyped

Lovely place, nice people. We got seated in the back in the draft. I had to wear my jacket to not freeze. Our dinner was a bit bland and basic. The lion's mane steak was sour, not fully done. The gnochi were very very oily. The highlight was the desert. Otherwise can not recommend, overhyped and overprived for the quality and selection. There are other goos places around.

Buonissimo ristorante a Lubiana

Ristorante molto carino e con personale gentile e accogliente. Abbiamo preso tartare di barbabietola, Lion Mane steak e gnocchi tartufati (definiti il miglior piatto mangiato in un ristorante vegano dal mio compagno)

Delicious

I went for lunch time and took 2 starters, a minestrone soup which was simple but well done, and a roested beetroot on "labneh" dill oil, and it was really tasty and delicious, I really loved this dish !
Also the prices are really fair, especially for a touristy capital city.
And the service is nice, people are kind.
I would go again and try other dishes !

Good food, great service

We came to Barbarella for dinner and breakfast. They offer a varied menu with a large dessert selection. The lion mane's steak was delicious although the mashed potatoes were a little dry. The gnocchi was on point. The desserts are very good, especially the cream-filled breakfast croissants and traditional veganized Slovenian cakes. I do think overall it is a little pricey though, especially some of the breakfast items (eg. the cinnamon bun), but the food is good and the service excellent 👌

Very good food

We had the roasted cabbage, homemade tortellini with hazelnut and the twix for dessert. We really loved that the veggies were the center of the dish, and both really good, the cabbage was our favourite though 😋. The dessert was really nice too but didn't really taste like twix.
The atmosphere was nice and the stuff seemed to have a good time working together what made us really happy to see. They were very friendly and good English speaking. There's a english menu as well.

Good food

I came here for breakfast, and it was a lovely little room. The waitress was very friendly as well.

After some thought I went with the cheese and spreads platter, but I think other choices are even better. The two cheeses you get are very interesting, and I applaud it, but they don't taste too much unfortunately. Some of the spreads are very dominating, so you can't taste some of the cheesy flavors when you eat them together.

Still, nice place, but maybe it's better for lunch or dinner?

Twice a day

So we ended up in Ljubljana for a afternoon of exploring the city. Not much prepared when it comes to vegan lunch or diner. But we were surprised by the amount of vegan offers.
So we sat down at Barbarella for a small lunch before heading to Crossfit Ljubljana... Soon we realized that we had to come back for dinner as well. Just too much good stuff to not try before leaving the city again!
Really loved the ambiance, very nice employees, lovely menu

Pros: Creative and tastefull dishes, Nice Ambiance, Polite employees

Recommended by a local as a favorite vegan restaurant -- and we weren't disappointed!

Everything we had was so good that we would order it again on another visit.

Perfect after a long day in Ljub.

Located on one of the main shopping streets of Ljubljana, Barbarella was a nice surprise. Trendy and vibrant, this bistro has an all vegan menu that’s not particularly original (burgers, pasta’s), but it was exactly what we wanted after a day of discovering this pretty city. The food was great, the service very nice. Don’t forget to check out the hearty but yummy deserts, if you still can.

Pros: Great service, Fast and affordable, Amazing deserts

great and fast service

The Plant Bistro is definitely worth a visit. We had the pumpkin risotto, which was very good and the hazelnut ravioli, which were not exactly our taste but still okay. For dessert we had the Cream cake - really really yummy!! The staff is friendly and fast and the location of the Bistro is also good.

Pros: Service, Location, Dessert Options

Great Vegan Options

Find dining quality, in a relaxed atmosphere. Food options were amazing. We had the lions made steak and potatoes and the pumpkin risotto followed by the traditional Slovenian vanilla cream cake. We also enjoyed a turmeric latte. We came back for breakfast the next morning and had croissants. One with coffee cream on top. And we also shared the cheese plate, which was delicious. There are many options in this city, and this is certainly one of the best. 

Pros: Great service, Fresh delicious food, Quality of food
