Restaurant Week – top cuisine enjoyed my way

Join us in experiencing Slovenia’s gastronomy by attending the so called Restaurant Week: either a spring or autumn edition. What makes it better is the fact that this "week" actually lasts 10 days. Let this be your way of tasting Slovenia!

A week when top-notch cuisine becomes accessible to everyone

Do you wish to treat yourself to something different, something special and delicious? Restaurant Week is a unique opportunity to discover the charms of Slovenia's top-notch cuisine. If you like to eat well, then you will definitely want to stop by one of the participating restaurants, where the chefs will make a special effort to impress you. You may find yourself confused about which restaurant to visit, as 123 different restaurants are participating in Restaurant Week, including an increasing number of restaurants rated four hearts. But wherever you go, you will have the opportunity to explore a world of flavours from the pans and dishes of innovative chefs. And don't say you can't afford it. Menus in all restaurants will be available at affordable prices.

Restaurant Week is the largest culinary campaign in Slovenia, and we are proud to have participated in it since the beginning.

The main guideline of this year's Restaurant Week is the slogan "The feeling after eating – full and satisfied." According to the organisers, Restaurant Week is not just about satisfying hunger or finding affordable prices on delicious menus, but rather an experience where visitors can enjoy good, high-quality food and rich flavours twice a year. And it is this experience that convinces them time and again to come back and at the same time leaves them full and satisfied.

Restaurant Week offers more every year: ever better restaurants, ever better value for money, ever greater experiences. Of course, it is important that it is not (too) expensive and that we feel full. But the most important thing is the feeling after eating. That's why Restaurant Week 2026 'demands' that its guests come hungry, and that its restaurants offer an experience that will leave them full and satisfied!

Sustainability served on a plate: Restaurant Week in collaboration with Slovenia Green

This year’s Restaurant Week places a special emphasis on the sustainability aspect of gastronomy, which is reflected not only in high-quality seasonal and local ingredients, but also in a responsible approach to the environment, the management of resources, and efforts to minimise food waste. In partnership with the Slovenia Green brand, it highlights restaurants that adhere to these principles.

A great innovation this year is that you can easily check in the search engine which participating restaurants carry the Slovenia Green label and choose a culinary experience with added sustainable value.

All you need to know about Restaurant Week

Do you enjoy eating well? If so, be sure to catch Restaurant Week. Twice a year, in the spring and in the autumn, you can set off on a splendid 10-day culinary journey, exploring a variety of flavours that will leave you far from indifferent. Top Slovenian chefs will shower you with their creativity and knowledge by serving you at least three courses. Only restaurants approved by the discerning food critic Uroš Mencinger may participate in Restaurant Week.

Restaurant Week is, in fact, a school of flavours, during which you become taste explorers. It is up to the chefs to be creative and innovative, and it is up to the guests to be curious and open-minded.

Only the best can take part in Restaurant Week; this is a time during which chefs are allowed to be a bit bolder, while guests can be a bit more critical.

Menus at restaurants with one heart are available for a flat price of €26 and include a minimum of three courses. In restaurants with two hearts, you will pay €2 more for the menu, i.e., €28. In restaurants with three hearts, the surcharge is €6, while restaurants with four hearts can opt for a surcharge of €10.

Restaurant Week is intended for the young, both in age and at heart. On the one hand, young chefs get the chance to showcase their knowledge and creativity, and the clientèle includes many young people on the other.

Menus with stories

When you sit at the table, you will be welcomed not only by a wealth of diverse flavours, but you will also learn about the stories of selected restaurants through their dishes. Their identity, origin and unique character are reflected on the plate.

Restaurant Week is one of the most beautiful culinary events of the year and is also important to us because we can use it to test our craziest ideas. Restaurant Week guests are curious guests.
