Loved the food and the personalized service 👌🏼 Don’t be shy to ask for any adjustments they are more than happy to help. The waiters seemed to be very well informed about every little detail of the food and had great recommendations about the wine list (which is huge!). Also don’t skip the desert ☺️

The food was absolutely amazing! We came just to try and then we ended eating almost all the menu. Every dish was delicious and focaccia by Kristjan is also the main star! The staff is so nice and helpful! 100% coming back.

After opening the new location we’ve spent quite a few summer ☀️ lunches and nights in their company, enjoying drinks and sharing plates. Terrace is one of the cutest in Ljubljana, especially for summer evenings.

Now, they’ve opened the upper level where chef Jakob and his team focus on tasting menus that showcase their full range of skills, creativity, and excellent flavors and we loved the menu!

The entire experience is a tribute to Jakob’s deep respect for nature 💚 which is connected with his passion for hunting, foraging, fishing, and, of course, flavor!

Would definitely recommend stopping for few plates or longer tasting menu experience.

Super wine and tapas bar, slightly off pitch, but riverside with a lovely relaxed vibe.  Super service from a professional team who were happy to help and guide.  I know very little of Slovenian wine but our waitress made some excellent choices for us.
Food was amazing.  Small plates but fantastically prepared with amazing flavours.
I would return any time.
