Restaurant Strelec at Ljubljana Castle

When you picture an urban city, this spot debunks that skyscraper image with sprawling mountain panoramas, as you experience Slovenian wine paired in the Archer’s tower of the Ljubljana Castle.

Don’t let the setting of being in a gorgeous castle fool you - the uninformed may think it’s touristy, but this elegant historical spot of Restaurant Strelec is a hidden gem in plain sight. The head chef Igor Jagodic has taken traditional Slovenian dishes to an elevated level with a medieval spin. All the more fitting for the restaurant being located in a royal setting. The fresco paintings on the circular walls add to this touch of history.

The haute cuisine of 7 or 9 tasting menus can be paired with local wine, as recommended and selected by the in-house sommelier. Each table is a window seat, looking out of the castle’s tower into the shimmering city lights outside. To wine and dine at Restaurant Strelec is to have an experience likened to the best of nobility’s hedonism!
