Ljubljana – the culinary capital with an excellent offer

The editors of the Time recognized the excellence of the Ljubljana gastronomic scene, which in their opinion gained even more impetus with the arrival of the first Michelin guide in 2020. In their review, they highlighted the Michelin winner in Ljubljana, the restaurant Atelje and the degustation menus of chef Jorg Zupan, and they were also impressed with the Open Kitchen, which they see as one of the most popular culinary traditions in the city. Among the best novelties of Ljubljana they list the environmentally friendly hostel the Fuzzy Log, where guests can also sleep in tents on the roof terrace.

Cukrarna – a multi-purpose cultural venue

In its review, the Time also mentions the Cukrarna Gallery, a renovated 19. century sugar refinery that will soon come to life as a new multi-purpose cultural venue. With the Cukrarna Gallery, Ljubljana will acquire the largest exhibition space, suitable also for large and demanding exhibitions and a space for events in the field of culture and art as well as education.
