Ljubljana restaurants
Student restaurants
In Ljubljana all the local students are eligible to buy a special coupon, usually for half of the price, to eat at a specific place. They have to buy these coupons (studentski boni) in advance. We list here the list of restaurants that accept these student coupons.
Babo Juice Bar
First slovenian juice bar, just a short walk in in the passage street from the river walk. Freshly squeezed juices by daily offer or composed according to you wish. Locate Babo juice bar on the map of Ljubljana. Make your choice in advance: www.babo.si
Sestica
If we tell you that even an old Slovenian folk song sings about Sestica, then you can imagine how old it really is. It has served delicious food to Ljubljana citizens since 1776! Even Preseren used to drink here and Plecnik had his seat by the window. If you wish to experience tradition in any aspect, Sestica is the place. Domestic Slovenian food is served in a traditional ambience of wood, green and carnations. Famous prsut for starters would be a good choice, continue with pecenica with sauerkraut and zganci. Struklji or a Farmer’s platter is a great option as well and prekmurska gibanica for dessert. Not ordering a glass of a first class Slovenian wine, would be a shame. See folklore dances in national costumes every Friday night or join to dance with live music on Saturdays. If you are a group, book seats in advance. Sestica is located in the very center close to Slon hotel. Address: Slovenska cesta 40
