Eating and Drinking in Ljubljana

June 10, 2019 by Gareth


As fate would have it I would be moving to Tirana to work with Pioneer Media on a movie. I have previously said that getting there was quite the journey, but after a mere two nights trying to “acclimatize” we had a business trip to Ljubljana, capital city of Slovenia, and as fate would have it one of the few European countries I have not been to. Country 142.

Getting to Ljubljana meant leaving for Mother Teresa Airport at 3 am and thus sleep would not be the option. Vodka would be the option.

I’ll not go into great details about the journey there, but it involved us getting on the plane last, sitting in business class, and arriving in Ljubljana somewhat jovial. We also arrived 8 hours before our AirBnB were ready to let us in. We carried on the jovial theme in the bars alongside the beautiful river that flows through this extremely beautiful city.

Food wise, whilst I like Asian street food, I do miss European fare. Slovenian food is very Slavic in nature, although with nice Italian influences, meaning lots of meat, cheese, starch, and great drinks.

Ljubljana

Ljubljana is a small compact city, with EVERYTHING being in walking distance, even castles! We sampled a hell of a lot of cool bars, and restaurants, but I have to give special mention to two places.

The first super cool one, and right down our alley was the Union brewery, where they offer a tour, lots of beer to try, and heartly Slovenian food which consisted of lots of meat, and pickled vegetables.

The second place to check out in Ljubljana is a bit more weird beard was the former gay area of the city called Metelkova. This former military barracks now homes a prison themed hostel and has become an anarchist commune full of very off the wall bars, and a very pseudo-punk scene.

 It’s pretty cheap too, and rakia always tastes good. I got the impression that should one have wanted, nightly friends could have been made quite easily, but after taking our livers to the limit we settled with a few beers at the English Pub.

How else would an Englishman finish a trip to Ljubljana?

    What is Foshan? Foshan is an ancient tier 2/3 city in Guangdong province, that is connected by subway to Guangzhou. It “only” has 7.2 million people, BUT is 4 times the size of Guangzhou (20 million people). Foshan is the most spread out city I have ever been to in China, and the first where […]

    Foshan East Railway station is the usual metropolis fast train station that you find in China, all good except there is pretty much nothing here. Like at all. Most of the new brand of superstations in China have McDonald’s, KFC, and a smattering of local variety type fast-food restaurants, such as good old Bruce Lee […]

@StreetFoodsGuy The only positive I can give people is, there's a financial crash looming and it will be worse than 2008. Personal debt is double what it was now than back then. Interest rates will have to rise at some point and boom. I hope that finishes the Tories.

I've cried a lot, no sleep, feel broken. The country I once loved is lost. No longer feel like I belong. Think I've got to leave😢

“Defenders of first past the post can no longer say with a straight face that it provides an inoculation against political extremism – and they can certainly no longer claim it delivers stable government.”

I'm crouched down next to the radiator looking at my phone constantly refreshing my screen. In all my 75 years, I've never felt so nervous and lost. Haven't got a clue what to do with myself.
