Discover Slovenia’s favourite food market and embark on an unforgettable culinary journey.
Every Friday, from mid-March until October, food and drink vendors from all corners of Ljubljana and Slovenia gather for Open Kitchen (or ‘Odprta Kuhna‘ as the locals call it).
This vibrant and diverse street food market, nestled in beautiful Pogačarjev trg, is a true gem in Ljubljana’s crown and yet another compelling reason to pay a visit to this city. Showcasing the finest eateries from across the country, it presents a variety of flavours that you simply cannot afford to miss out on.
There is often lively music and entertaining performances to create a vibrant atmosphere that brings smiles to the faces of all visitors.
In the event of bad weather conditions, the market may be called off, but otherwise, it remains open until sunset.
Be sure to check out some of our favourite dishes and eateries:
Namasté | Breg 8
Their genuine ingredients and authentic spices are truly delightful. We also love their clay tandoor oven upon which the chefs cook fresh roti and dosa. The process by which they are made is fascinating and the aromas are far too good to resist. The dosa is not only light and slightly crispy on the edges, but also incredibly delicious.
Shambala | Križevniška ulica 12
Restaurant Shambala’s stall offers delicious Vietnamese rolls that are expertly filled with tangy mango, papaya, glass noodles, fragrant coriander, and refreshing salad. These rolls are a delightful and crunchy treat, perfect for a quick snack. Additionally, for those who enjoy a fiery kick, Shambala’s renowned Thai curry is a must-try.
Moji štruklji Slovenije | Adamič Lundrovo nabrežje 1
The bistro has given a modern twist to the traditional Slovenian dumplings called štruklji, making it trendy and appealing. Their commitment to using local and fresh ingredients is commendable, but what truly sets them apart is their innovative culinary concepts, ranging from chocolate štruklji to a variety of seasonal flavours. Be sure to try the strawberry or vanilla dumplings.
