You probably know how diverse Slovenia is. It’s almost a miracle how much diversity is put together on such a small peace of land. From the beautiful underground Karst world, the seaside, the mountains and lakes to the vineyards, plain and lowland in the eastern part. Not only those areas differ from each other in terms of nature. The dialect spoken close to the Italian border has nothing to do with the one spoken near the Hungarian border. The cuisine, the dances, the culture and heritage change a lot from one part of Slovenia to another.
When you visit the country, though, you often don’t have the time to just see and experience it all. Tourists therefore prioritize and go to the must-visit parts of the country, where some others are left undiscovered. The undiscovered part is often the northeast of the country. What if I told you that you could have a piece of it in the mere city centre of Ljubljana? Keep reading.
I often say that food is an essential part of traveling. Getting to know the culinary habits of the people is getting to know a part of them. If you’d like to try specialties from the Pannonia region (northeast of Slovenia) without needing to actually go there, you should go to the restaurant Güjžina and indulge into their delicious dishes and wines.
The owner is a very nice lady, coming from the region herself. She strives for perfection, great food and equally great service. A lot of their dishes are very specific to the region and often unknown to the visitors. The help with the choice is therefore very appreciated. The staff of Güjžina is more than happy to help, explain and let you taste their delicious dishes. The selection is very wide, for the vegetarians as well as those who cannot go without meat. A big plus is a great selection of wines from the whole Pannonia region.
We were sitting outside in the nice shade on one of the main streets of the Old Town, observing the people passing by while enjoying our lunch. The interior, however, seems very nice as well, spacious and pleasant, with a beautiful wine cellar for closed groups.
We hit off the lunch with goat cheese with pumpkin seed oil on a wooden plate.
We then chose to try out different dishes and enjoy a variety of tastes. Dödöle, a typical dish from the region, is a must there. They may taste a bit unusual but it’s worth the try.
Their “Cucki”, homemade gnocchi with pumpkin seed pesto and goat cheese are super delicious!
The Prekmurje Bograč (a delicious mixture of pork, beef, venison, potatoes, onion and garlic) can be a great option for meat lovers. There is plenty of choice of meat dishes too, combined with interesting food like plums. Salads are very tasty as well, and the choice is very vast.
You absolutely have to try Prekmurska gibanica there, a traditional sweet dish from eastern Slovenia. It is one of the most representative sweet dishes from Slovenia that comes in a form of a layered cake with poppy seeds, walnuts, cottage cheese and apples. Heaven! Same as other awesome deserts, of course.
