Awesome Vegan Experience - Edit
I have to say this is probably the BEST vegan food I've had the privilege of eating. The culinary skills of the chefs here are pretty amazing. I had the Lion's Mane steak meal, which was pricey but exceptional. Also shared a pot of bograc for entree (again devine) and a delicious chocolate strawberry tarte for dessert. I will definitely come here again if I manage to get back up to this part of the world.

Vegan, Authentisch, Slowenisch - Edit
Wir waren hier essen und hatten das Gulasch sowie das Pfeffersteak. Beides war ausgezeichnet. Vor allem der Gulascheintopf.

Lovely setting and food - Edit
Went as we wanted to sit outside on the street, and our group of 8 was accommodated well. Lots of vegan options and allergies (as most places in Ljubljana) were notated well. The vegan sharing plate “meats” were dry and flavourless, but the bograč was outstanding and we could have ordered more!

amazing place :) - Edit
get to know national dishes in a vegan and very tasty way! i recommend going here, because trying local food with no animals harmed is always the best thing! the prices are a bit high, but fair for a high-quality, saturating meal.

Amazing food with amazong service - Edit
We went there 2 times in our vacation. It‘s a perfect spot for vegans to get the taste of traditional Slovenian food. Everything we tasted was delightful, perfectly balanced and rich in taste. We are so glad we found this place. The staff is super cool, helpful and offer best service.

Traditional Slovenian food made vegan - Edit
Go here if you wanna try traditional Slovenian food, they have many dishes that would be difficult to choose from. Very nice everything we’ve tried. A bit more pricy than others, but totally worth it.

Great Slovenian food the vegan way - Edit
Went with a group of non-vegans. I had the bograč and they had gnocchi. I definitely recommend going for the traditional dishes. The stew was great and you get a lot of food for the price.
Read morePros: Delicious Slovenian stew, Nice atmosphere, Very vegan friendly
Cons: My friends were not impressed by the gnocchi , Some dishes are expensive

Delicious food on an Enchanting Pedestrian Avenue - Edit
From their extensive menu, we had an incredible DÖDÖLE WITH ONION AND CREAM, which we plan to attempt to replicate at home, and a Lion's Mane Steak. Couldn't have asked for more.

Authentic Slovenian veg food - Edit
My partner and I ordered two different sausage dishes (these are not listed online) for lunch. Both came with these little potato cakes, mustard, and a side salad. They were both tasty but I definitely preferred the smoked sausage with horseradish. I wish we were both a bit more hungry to try (and review) other menu items. The portion sizes weren’t that large, but this was fine for lunch. Be sure to book in advance for dinner as this location is very popular even on a week night (a good sign)! It was nice to experience authentic Slovenian vegan food! My only complaint is that vegan options are not clearly labeled. You have to keep track of the numbered allergen list on the side of each dish to ensure your meal is actually vegan.

Good vegan slovenian food - Edit
Food was really good. We had the vegan soup and dödöle which are apparently typically slovenian.
Read moreDesert was really nice too. Would have given more stars but the staff was just not particularly nice.

Nice - Edit
Very nice atmosphere and great service. I had the tagliatelle with vegan ham and it was delicious! It was a bit pricy, €16, but the glass of wine I had with it was only €2. This is not a fully vegan restaurant even though it’s marked as such.

Told Fully Vegan, it is Not - Edit
The food was delicious, BUT we were told by a local tour guide and by the waiter that the restaurant was fully vegan. I was a little concerned when I saw 'goat cheese' on the menu, but after being told by 2 different people that it was fully vegan I assumed a vegan version of cheese. I am sure this was just a translation issue, but please be aware.
Read moreI had the mushroom gnocchi, which was delicious, but I now wonder if it may have had cream/milk in it. The 2 people I was with are both vegetarian, so are less concerned. They both had different sausage dishes and both enjoyed them as well.
Moral of the story... always check Happy Cow first!! Lesson learned.

Traditional Slovenian grub - Edit
A refreshing change from vegan burgers - tasty, hearty dishes. We shared the vegan platter, soup with seitan and potatoes, sausages and mash with a turnip soup. The turnip soup was fabulous so don't be out off! No room for pud unfortunately as they offered some rather attractive options. Ask the water for wine recommendations.

fairly priced traditional vegan food! - Edit
I’m so happy that I stumbled across this little gem on a Sunday in Europe. It’s so hard to find food in general as a vegan let alone on a Sunday. The hospitality was great and the food was delicious. Highly recommend.

Slightly disappointed - Edit
I had the gnocchi with mushroom sauce, which were ok but not delicious. The portion was really small for the price, I was hungry afterwards. Other dishes are more abundant.

Refined traditional cuisine - Edit
Loved it. You could taste the local cuisine in its vegan version. The restaurant is vegetarian so make sure to chose something without honey or egg/milk as they used some of them is some dishes.

Ok but not great - Edit
We had the vegan plate, which is paté and seitan. The patés we're mostly coconut oil and not very good at all. Seitan was ok. The main dish was goulash and was good. Dessert came and was not what we ordered but we were told afterwards that it was because they didn't have what we ordered anymore. Apfel strudel was a bit stale. Wine was ok.

Delicious traditional food - Edit
So nice to be able to try traditional Slavic food without the animal products. We had the vegan plate to start which included ham, three types of coconut fat spreads and bread, and our mains were the pasta with ham and mushrooms, and a steak with a side. All were very heart and filling, definitely not a light dinner but very satisfying, especially on a cold night. We made reservations but a few people did walk up and got a table. #Veganuary

Local Slovenian dishes - Edit
I appreciate the effort to veganize the local cusine, but the experience was kind of a disappointment. It was pricey for the amount of food that was served, and the staff was really slow even though there were not many people...
Read moreThe vegan options were nice but a bit repetitive (keep in mind that I went in summer and I wasn't in a mood for hot dishes), and the vegan desserts were kind of limited. The taste was average.
The location was pretty good, and it had a terrace.

not worth the price - Edit
The selection of vegan dishes is not clearly labeled. The sausage with mashed potatoes was delicious, but not worth the price of around €15. The sausage was a bit dry, the dish was too cold overall and the portion was small. The restaurant is nice and the staff were friendly.

Delicious traditional slovenian dishes! - Edit
The dishes I tried (bograč and dödöle as well as gibanica) were absolutely delicious and the menu has a lot of clearly labelled vegan dishes. The portions are a little small and quite expensive, however. This restaurant is great if you want to try traditional slovenian food!
