»B« Restaurant

On the top floor we can find restaurant B (“bee”) with a viewing terrace, which can accommodate up to 200 guests. The terrace offers wonderful views on the four sides of Slovenian capital and its surroundings. The restaurant's creative concept was concieved by the Italian chef Alfredo Russo, who runs the Dolce Stil Novo restaurant with a Michelin star located in Turin.

What about the menu? The offer is seasonal, combining Italian cuisine with Slovenian tastes. Most of the ingredients are of local origin, the same holds true for most of the wines featured on the wine card. “B” is available for hotel guests and for the external visitors as it would like to become a popular spot for the Ljubljana locals as well.

In addition to the restaurant, which carries the name of the bee, plenty details in the hotel are also in the sign of beekeeping, which has a long traditon in Slovenia. It is estimated that today there are bees found in approximately 150 locations in Ljubljana, with the majority of the hives located on roofs, balconies and gardens.
