Best Restaurants for Wine Lovers in Ljubljana

How this list is chosen: Restaurants holding a Wine Spectator Restaurant Award or rated as having an exceptional wine program, listed alphabetically.

  • Altrokè

    Exceptional wine program

    Altrokè sits on Stari trg in Ljubljana's Old Town, holding a Michelin Plate in both 2024 and 2025 for its regional cuisine at entry-level prices. The address places it inside the dense restaurant corridor between the castle hill and the river, where the city's most competitive dining is concentrated.

  • Evino

    Exceptional wine program

    The address places it inside a quieter tier of the city's drinking and dining scene, where the emphasis tends toward the glass rather than the occasion.

  • Kletvica

    Exceptional wine program

    Kletvica occupies a quiet side street just off one of Ljubljana's busiest thoroughfares, operating as a low-intervention wine bar with a list built around Slovenia's smallest producers. The focus is deliberately local, placing Slovenian natural wine at the centre rather than the margins. For those tracing the country's emerging wine identity from within the capital, it functions as a working reference point.

  • Ošterija Pr'Noni

    Exceptional wine program

    Ošterija Pr'Noni occupies a particular position in Ljubljana's dining scene: a neighbourhood ošterija on Cesta v Gorice that draws both locals seeking a midday meal and visitors tracing Slovenia's tradition of convivial, unpretentious eating. The format follows a pattern common across Central European inn culture, where the lunch service carries distinct character from evening dining. Worth understanding before you book.

  • Restavracija CUBO

    Exceptional wine program

    Restavracija CUBO in Ljubljana serves modern Mediterranean cuisine with Slovenian influence. Must-try dishes include the maize-crusted tuna fillet with fine vegetables and avocado, tuna carpaccio with edible flowers, and a rich beef-and-mushroom risotto. The restaurant pairs eclectic plates with a curated Slovenian wine list, wines available by the glass, and attentive service in a dark, modern dining room. Recognized in the Michelin Guide (2025) as a recommended Mediterranean spot, CUBO delivers precise cooking, bold flavours like a green curry sauce lift on tuna, and a relaxed yet refined atmosphere on the quieter edge of the city.

  • TaBar

    Exceptional wine program

    TaBar occupies a former Yugoslavian Rog factory on Trubarjeva cesta, where brutalist concrete and indoor greenery create one of Ljubljana's more arresting dining environments. A 2024 relocation and a 2025 Michelin Plate signal its position in the city's modern cuisine tier, sitting at €€€ pricing alongside Restavracija Strelec and above the contemporary mid-range. For a milestone dinner in Ljubljana, it makes a case worth considering.
