Strelec Restaurant

"The restaurant is housed in the old and picturesque Archers’ Tower in Ljubljana castle, one of the city’s most iconic tourist sites. Adorned with decorative murals in 1950, the dining room now provides the backdrop for chef Igor Jagodic’s single surprise tasting menu (5, 7 or 9 courses). Dishes are modern and creative, with occasional French and Mediterranean influences, as demonstrated in the turbot escalope in a lemon breaded crust, which is sautéed in butter and finished with a beurre blanc sauce. The wine pairing focuses mainly on local wines." - Michelin Inspector

"Restavracija Strelec also earned One MICHELIN Star, offering the capital a second distinction in this category. Located inside Ljubliana castle, this restaurant delights diners with modern cuisine prepared by chef Igor Jagodic, who combines great technical mastery of cooking methods with an exacting selection of top rate produce. In this establishment, food and wine pairings are taken very seriously." - La Guida Michelin

This fine dining restaurant can be found in the famous Ljubijana castle (in the archer’s tower no less!), and is a delectable feast for your tastebuds (and the view is as breathtaking as the food). Nothing here will confuse the weary traveller, no curious combinations or fusion food at this restaurant. It is classic contemporary cuisine, but a few dishes certainly do stand out: Sulec freshwater trout or a very gratifying apple strudel. The chef (Igor Jagodic) has been named multiple times as the best chef in the country, and it definitely isn’t for nothing. Don’t hesitate and try the various tasting menu options.
