👍👍 A lovely ambience but you will most likely come again for the food. All plates and tastes are very well thought out and also mirror the season - in our case autumn, so tastes like beetroot, chestnut and pear were a constant. We decided to only try two wines and that can be difficult when you want to... People often mention experience, great, menu, Ljubljana, castle, restaurant, service, wine, dish, tasting,

    A lovely ambience but you will most likely come again for the food. All plates and tastes are very well thought out and also mirror the season - in our case autumn, so tastes like beetroot, chestnut and pear were a constant. We decided to only try two wines and that can be difficult when you want to pair them with multiple dishes. However the waiter's recommendations were spot on. Overall a delightful experience.

    Fantastic! The food was excellent, the service was great, and the atmosphere was awesome. Outdoor seating is in a castle wall, inside is renovated beautifully. The food was delicious, inventive and very thoughtful. Each dish has depth of flavor and ingredients. 100% will eat here when I return. We only had the five course meal since we had a light snack in the late afternoon, but regret not at least having the 7, though it was a generous amount of food. Oh, yeah and the service was great, everyone was attentive, friendly and fun to interact with

    Beautiful round room at the top of the Castle. Waiter was brilliant. Food magnificent. Wine pairing really good. €220 for 2 people for 7 course tasting menu with wine! I don’t like bananas so they changed my dessert without any fuss at all!

    One of the best meals of my entire life! My partner brought me here for my birthday and we decided to have the 7 course meal. Although the portions were small, due to its Michelin star rating they were expertly combined and delicious. Cannot fault our server who knew everything about every dish and helped us pick a local wine to go with our meal. Everything was plated so beautifully that we almost didn't want to disturb the plate but the flavour combinations were incredible. The views over Ljubljana were stunning on the clear night and we will definitely be back. Only tiny tiny detail was that this particular restaurant in the castle could be signposted better as we struggled to find it.

    The food was so good it made me cry. Level of details in taste is exceptional. They do not offer a la carte dishes but you may choose from 5-9 courses. They are also flexible regarding food restrictions and have vegetarian options. Strelec is indeed one of the best (if not the best) high-end fine dining restaurants in Slovenia.

    Came here to celebrate a friend’s birthday, wanting something extra special which is exactly what we got. The setting, atop the castle in the Archer’s Tower felt magical with a view over Ljubljana. We went for the 5 course menu (although ended up getting a couple of amuse-bouche courses for no extra cost), which consisted of inventive dishes with unique but very complementary flavours. The venison main was deliciously tender and a highlight for me was the onion gnocchi in beer foam. All beautifully prepared, with efficient and friendly service. The chef even came over to wish my friend a happy birthday which was a lovely touch. We paid €125 each (inc tip), which I consider pretty good value for a Michelin star, especially given the location and that we enjoyed genuinely tasty and filling food with wine pairings for each course.

    Magical place for a magical experience! We had the 7-course dinner with wine pairing. All locally sourced and inspired. Every course was creative, original and the wine pairing was impeccable. The staff was professional, very hospitable and easy-going. All the ingredients for a star studded night!

    The archer’s tower was very cozy, everything to be expected and more given the quality of the cuisine and service. We had a large party of 8 and did the 5 course tasting menu. If I had to choose a favorite (which was not easy) the venison was perfection.

    Made reservation. Online. Website apparently didn't work. Got sent away from an empty restaurant, 'no place available'. Also no dogs are allowed. It's a shame service becomes optional, with a michelin star. We're currently dining in a michelin restaurant, in a restaurant more accepting of a truffle dog. With an understanding of basic hospitality. Will not try this place.

    This wonderful restaurant is located in the Ljubljana Castle, to be exact in the Archers' Tower. It has an amazing view over the city or the castle inner yard, depending on where you sit. The interior is very exquisitely decorated with modern details with great taste. I chose the 7 course tasting meny and every dish was very well presented and they were full of flavors and interesting textures. It was simply delicious! The service was top notch, our waiters were very friendly and super professional! This restaurant really knows what they are doing! I really recommend this restaurant if you are visiting Ljubljana!

    Amazing restaurant in Ljubljana castle. Food is not my cup of tea, but the staff and everything else is absolutely perfect!

  • 5/5 R M. 8 months ago on Google
    If In Ljubljana, absolutely go here and must try the full tasting menu and it doesn’t matter what’s in it. What a location, what a restaurant, what a meal. Every dish was spectacular and I would absolutely travel to Slovenia just to eat here. Amazing amazing amazing.

  • 5/5 Aldo R. 5 months ago on Google
    We had a great time! Very good food and a nice selection of wines. Service was flawless and kind. Restaurant is located inside a tower of lubiana castle. Only (small) downside we shared the dinner with a numerous and noisy 15 people table. 10/10 michelin experience

  • 5/5 Urša L. 1 year ago on Google
    Yes, yes and yes. Great choice. Amazing location on the top of the hill and in castle. Amazing food, great service and wide rage of wines. No other comment needed.

  • 5/5 Anna E. 3 months ago on Google New
    A tasting menu in the castle was one of my culinary favourites of all time. The setting in the tower of a castle is so unique and special. There wasn’t one course that I didn’t absolutely love. We went for 7 courses but I left wishing we had done 9! The wine pairing was also an amazing experience and complimented the meals so well, all locally sourced. The staff were so knowledgeable and friendly too! An unforgettable experience.

  • 5/5 Valya A. 1 year ago on Google
    Many good things about this place. Location is great or not so great depending on how you see it, it‘s cool because it‘s located inside of a castle but I hated the walk up there (we did not come by car). Service was super friendly and helpful. We had the 7 course menu and even though the degree of deliciousness varies from one menu to another (they were all delicious but only 2-3 were mindblowingly amazing), everything was so well made and unique tasting. They also added 2 complimentary appetizers and 3 complimentary dessert so in total it was more like 12 different menus albeit these complimentary ones being much smaller. After finishing the meal you‘d definitely be full even though the portion of each menu itself is quite small. Overall a great experience worth a Michelin star. Only thing we didn‘t like was that they charged extra 5€ per person as some kind of tax so do take that into consideration.

    We had a lovely 7-course dinner. Service was great, though a little slow in the beginning due to the presence of a large party. We had a wonderful table close to a wall. The dining room is in a round tower, with interesting fresco-style art. The food was beautifully presented and delicious. My favourite was probably this cauliflower and egg yolk dish with truffle but all of them felt seasonal and tasted great. The smoked trout dish was another standout. Desserts were not too sweet (good!) though rhubarb makes me think June, not October. That’s the only non-seasonal note I detected. Overall, I can highly recommend this place and would like to return at another time of year to see what the Chef comes up with.

    Just finished a wonderful dinner at Strelec at Ljubljana Castle. Our second Michelin star experience of the trip after Hisa Franko earlier this month. Don't ask what all this is... Just delicious, paired with beautiful wines and outstanding service. Beautiful sgraffito murals told stories of Slovenian folk heroes. The setting in Ljubljana Castle is stunning, as are the views!

  • 5/5 shaughn g. 1 year ago on Google
    This is an amazing experience and a must when in Ljubljana! The food is incredible and world-class! Every dish was better than the next, complex, interesting, and delicious! The service was great, our host really took care of everyone and made sure our experience was perfect. This was one of our favorite experiences on our trip so far.

  • 5/5 David K. 1 year ago on Google
    In front of the magic scenery of the Ljubljana castle on one side, and the city of Ljubljana below on the other... That alone was a beginning of something beautiful for the night. We've decided to gor for a 5 course menu, which comes with additional two greetings from the kitchen and additional desert at the end acompined with a vast selection of local wines. The food was mesmerizing, flavourful and of course eye catching. Congrats to chef Igor. Also the team serving us, was professional, very educated and extremely kind. Would definitely recommended visiting the place. 👍

    Perfect place and food. The wines are wonderful. The atmosphere is perfect and unforgettable. The waiters as well as the chef do a great job.

  • 5/5 Mladen B. 2 years ago on Google
    Slow & haute cuisine food, with a view on the city worth taking even if in case this is a fast food place. This place offers 5, 7 or 9 courses meals, which usually include some extras chief's greetings and goodbye course. This is a place where you come to enjoy the world's best food. The price could be eye-watering but it is worth every cent considering the offer. Visiting this place could be life changing experience. You view on what's good food will be changed for ever

  • 3/5 Dmitry A. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice experience, but poor conception. The tasting menu was so extensive and varied that my stomach was not happy all the next day. Deserts was too sweet and untasty.

  • 5/5 A. S. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing. Wonderful. Exepctional. Love the place, tha atmosphere. Place is well designed and even the wall frescos are wonderful and historically informative. The menu is just 5, 7 or 9 plates, so you dont have to think about anything, just decide how hungry you are :) the wine selection is very good and they really try to tell a well rounded story with their flavors and pairings. Definitely would recommend to anyone looking for a moment of hedonism and pure delight. Will be coming back soon, for sure. And btw.. the view is to die for!

  • 5/5 David L. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the best fine dining restaurant in Ljubljana. I think they deserve a Michelin star and I believe they will get it on the next Michelin visit.

  • 5/5 Meredith G. 2 years ago on Google
    Awesome experience from start to finish. We enjoyed the tasting menu and wine parings and loved it all. Beautiful space and great service!

  • 5/5 David N. 4 years ago on Google
    This is without doubt one of the best places I have eaten. We had the seven course taster menu with wine pairing. Quality Slovenian wine is a revelation. Taster menus can vary in level dish to dish but the quality of each course was consistently to a high standard with no obvious “album track”. The portions are exactly the right side. In addition, the waiting staff were knowledgeable and attentive leaving just the right amount of time between courses. It took all evening and we enjoyed it so much we missed the last funicular back down to the town. Thoroughly recommend this place.

  • 5/5 Diana V. 4 years ago on Google
    What an experience! Beautiful, small restaurant with really amazing foods. Located in the Archers’ tower of castle Ljubljana. Relief artwork on the upper walls with stories and myths from Ljubljana’s rich history, which the head waiter was happy to share with us. We had a 7-course tasting menu, with each combination of flavors more exquisite than the previous one. Local produce, deftly and creatively combined, give an excellent impression of the regional tastes to newcomers. Reserve ahead even out of season, there are only a few tables, with generous spacing yet intimate atmosphere.
