This restaurant is set within the historic and picturesque Archers’ Tower in Ljubljana, one of the city’s most iconic landmarks, easily reachable in just a few minutes by funicular (last ride at 7 PM, so the return must be made on foot or by taxi). The elegant dining room, adorned with sgraffito murals from the 1950s inspired by local folk songs, provides the perfect backdrop for Igor Jagodic’s cuisine. The chef offers a single nine-course tasting menu, which can be reduced to seven or five courses, featuring modern and creative dishes that pay homage to Mediterranean tradition. Highlights include the turbot with Adriatic shrimp, leek, pistachio, and bacon, as well as the roe deer tartare with hazelnuts and shiso leaves. The wine list offers a deep exploration of local selections while also extending to France and Italy. We relied on the staff’s recommendations for a small wine tasting by the glass and were thoroughly satisfied.
During the warmer months, don’t miss the opportunity to book a table outside on the ancient ramparts, where you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the city.
