The best French cuisine restaurants Ljubljana

He looks like a French café, this Petit Café! It must be said that it is located on the Place de la Révolution Française, and this is anything but a coincidence. Inside, French dishes such as croque-monsieur or croque-madame, or several appetizing examples of hexagonal pastries will satisfy the taste buds of early nostalgics of our national gastronomy. The decoration, with its somewhat old-fashioned charm, pays homage to our beautiful language on all its walls. The owners are not French-speaking and are simply lovers of France.

At Pen Klub, Ljubljana's "secret" restaurant, the essence remains the same. The quality of the ingredients is just as important as the presentation of the dishes, with their impeccable, elegant aesthetics. After a subtle renovation, the place combines tradition and freshness, appealing to both regulars and newcomers. The menu, once classic, evolves with emblematic dishes. Regulars appreciate the touch of novelty, newcomers, the authenticity preserved. Service is particularly attentive and prompt.

This little French bistro is a Michelin-starred nugget. The concept: an XS menu with small and large plates to encourage conviviality and sharing. Each dish is an explosion of flavors thanks to the chef's inventive cuisine, resolutely cosmopolitan and exotic! Signature cocktails and a non-exhaustive selection of wines by the glass. The staff are entirely dedicated to the experience and generously offer their advice. Excellent value for money. One of the hottest addresses where reservations are essential!

JAZ doesn't follow the rules of gastronomy; on the contrary, you're encouraged to share food and plates with each other at the table. The culinary creativity of talented chef Ana Roš can be found here, just as at Hiša Franko, a 3-Michelin-starred restaurant located in the beautiful Soča Valley. JAZ's cuisine is based on local produce and light flavors. Dishes are simpler and follow the seasons. The elegance and seriousness of gastronomy are maintained, but with a more relaxed touch.

A small world of elegance and refinement on the outskirts of the capital. Magnet, as its name suggests, draws you in with its fine cuisine and meticulous presentation. The choice of tableware reflects the resolutely chic, modern decor of the premises. The bistro feel allows you to choose dishes to satisfy a small appetite in all modesty, but always with a maximum of flavor and quality products. Beef tartare, Bao-buns, and the brunch menu are all on offer, and well worth a visit! For cocktail lovers, the barman will dazzle you!
