The best Slovenian restaurants for 2018 revealed

At the end of March, the Slovenia Restaurant Awards have been handed out to the best Slovenian restaurants of 2018. The ceremony at Fužine castle in Ljubljana revealed not only top five regional restaurants and three overall winners, but also the restaurant with the largest number of public votes.

This year, the Slovenia Restaurant Awards expert commission made a list of 165 restaurants, which were then assessed by more than a thousand members of the Chefs & Foodies Academy and voted for at www.the-slovenia.com. Altogether more than 7,000 votes were collected. At the end of March, the Slovenia Restaurant Awards have been handed out to the best Slovenian restaurants of 2018 at the ceremony at Fužine castle in Ljubljana.

On this occasion, Maja Pak, director of the Slovenian Tourist Board, said: "Gastronomy is one of the key Slovenian tourism products. With new restaurant openings, new menus and, above all, new innovative dishes prepared from local ingredients. The gastronomic offer is the growing motive for the arrival of tourists, which is promising but at the same time full of challenges. The results of the Slovenian gastronomic offer reflect the daily hard work and effort of many restaurant managers and their teams, winemakers, brewers and also organizers of culinary events, including The Slovenia Restaurant Awards. Thanks to joint efforts, Slovenia has become a candidate for the European gastronomic region for 2021. It shows that the Slovenian gastronomy is only emerging, with many development opportunities, and above all a lot of potential."
