Autumn is a time for discovering new things

The long, hot summer that has now passed was characterised by the always lively, tourist-filled streets, squares, bars, and restaurants of Ljubljana. Now that summer is giving way to autumn, Ljubljana is winding down and offering more of its spaces for relaxed get-togethers with food and drink. After a nice summer holiday, we Ljubljana residents are sure to start frequenting our favourite food and beverage spots again, but since we're always hungry to try new things as well, we'll also check out some of the Ljubljana culinary scene's newer additions. What new places are there to visit this autumn?

What's new...

Kofi Brejk
Zaloška 16
A quaint new to-go cafe opened this summer in Moste. It offers guests a wide selection of refreshing and hearty drinks and beverages – from coffee, lemonade, and ice tea, all the way to protein shakes and smoothies. And in addition to their drinks selection, you can also take away any one of the numerous desserts that can be viewed in their attractive display case.

Meat Point
Ciril Metodov trg 16
Attention all meat lovers and grill enthusiasts! The city centre is home to a new meat restaurant, where the main chef is the so-called Kopa oven – an innovative Slovenian combination of a coal-fired grill, smoker, and oven. It gives their meat specialties a distinct grilled taste that will ease the cold of winter time by reminding us of those nice outdoor summer picnics.

Orient Market
Kolodvorska 10
There's some great news for Middle Eastern cuisine lovers coming from Kolodvorska street. Early this summer a little shop opened there that sells a varied selection of Arabian food and produce – dairy products, spices, nuts, vegetables, teas, desserts, bread, and more. This wonderful world of Arabian delicacies is brought to us by Muhannad from Syria – owner and manager of the store.

Papillon bistrot
Borštnikov trg 2
The newly opened bistro on Borštnikov trg is open all day and invites us to a cosy ambience, slightly removed from the hustle and bustle of the city. In the morning, we can enjoy some coffee, breakfast, or brunch, during the day they serve lunch, and in the evening, we can go for dinner with a nice glass of wine.

TaBar
Trubarjeva 72
After moving to Center Rog a few months ago, chef Jakob Pintar and his team expanded on what this restaurant has to offer. Now you can enjoy lunch or afternoon bar snacks on the lower floor, while the upper floor is reserved for their evening tasting menu accompanied by an excellent natural wine selection.

Top Pizza
Igriška 5
This location, especially popular with students from the many faculties on and around Aškerčeva ulica, has recently become the home of a new pizzeria, offering whole New Haven style pizzas, as well as pizza slices and sandwiches made from home-baked bread for a quick meal.

...and the changes

Piccola Cafe
Trg mladinskih delovnih brigad 1
After about six months, the little house in Šiška that used to host the popular vegan spot for lunch, brunch, and a nice cup of coffee accompanied by delicious cakes, cookies, or croissants, became too small for all the fans of what Piccola Cafe had to offer. That's why the girls found a new location in the city centre that will provide plenty of space for guests to enjoy the many delicacies on offer!

RawPasta Deli
Trubarjeva 47
The RawPasta team recently upgraded their store by offering paninis and focaccias, coffee and soft drinks, and beer, wine, and cocktails. You can enjoy their supplementary offer in the sunny garden or in the nicely hidden-away spots beneath the surface of the always lively Trubarjeva ulica.

Tink Superfood v Hiši plesa
Ulica gledališča BTC 8
From now on, all fans of Tink's bowls, avocado toasts, and colourful drinks will get to enjoy them at an additional location – at Hiša plesa located within the BTC shopping centre.

Lana’s Corner
Nazorjeva 6
You can now head to Lana’s Corner for lunch during your work break or between errands. They are adding day soups, pasta, salads, and desserts to their existing selection.

Let the autumn culinary exploration begin!
