We decided to try the Gostinlnica XXI after seing so many good reviews on Tripadvisor. And it was worth it! The place is really nice, with comfortable outdoor seatings and really good atmosphere. We went there when there was a greek night, but we wanted to try local food. The waiters were kind and welcomed us in the best way.... More

We visited this restaurant based on TripAdvisor reviews and recommended by our hotel. The waiter was lovely and translated everything for us. All of our meals were tasty and servings were on the larger side. However, it wasn't our favourite meal in Ljubljana.

We visited Ljubljana in November 2012. This restaurant was recommended to us. While its not right in the old town, its only 5 mins walk, and we found it easily enough on a quiet side street. The menu is in Slovenian, but thats not a problem as the waiter translated everything for us, painstakingly repeating anything of interest including side... More

A very friendly discovery. The service from our waiter was excellent - translating everything on the menu for us - twice. We had the liver and mashed potatoes - absolutely superb, as was the house wine. If we had been staying longer we would have returned in the evening and I am sorry that we didn't on this visit. On...

We were lucky to stumble across this restaurant - the gorgeous waitress translated the whole handwritten menu into English for us and gave us a wine recommendation. The value for money for excellent, the serves were generous with quality ingredients. My dish had two fillets of salmon with beautiful fresh vegetables tossed in ginger and herbs while my partner enjoyed... More

We had chgicken and horse steak - both excellent and both really well cooked. Deserts were lovely too.... More

We went here because of the reviews but with slight nerves as, being veggies, its often difficult to find good food. As other reviewers have commented there aren't menus in English but the waiters were happy to translate. The service was superb. We had excellent house wine, and then gnocci in a pumpkin sauce, and polenta with vegetables. Bill less... More

The best restaurant in Ljubljana with a diverse and sophisticated menu. And a charismatic and friendly owner.

This is a place you can switch for your Grannies lunches. Almost. Plenty of vegetarian dishes, daily menues and excellent desserts. Some selection of Slovenian wines is available.
