    Our first experience in this field of high class cooking. Prices are fair, explanations are apt and the athmosphere is friendly and relaxed. Our waiter explained every delicious course and was very sophisticated with the wine company. If you like to have a culinary experience GO THERE Thanks again

    A great restaurant offering lunches and long 7-course or 9-course dinner, that can be paired by their wine suggestions. We had a 9-course dinner, which lasts for about 4 hours. The food is great! It's a course full of nice sauces, combination of meat and also lots of vegetable dishes, followed with selection of not-too-expensive (20-30 eur-ish) slovenian wines. You get lots of whites, some orange ones and a red wine for the main course, two sweet-ish for desert... I personally missed more focus on red wines, because it's more to my liking. The staff is professional and takes the time to explain each dish in detail. The damage is 115 eur / 9-course + 45 euros for accompanying wines, all per person. I'd prefer they would offer tap water instead of bottled. A great foodie experience, that I would do again in a while.

    Memorable service and lovely ambience. Wine tasting pairing was the show stealer, as were the desserts. Everything plated beautifully and explained in friendly, knowledgeable detail. The nine course tasting menu was hit or miss with us. Taste was subtle and refined. All were good dishes, but only a pair that were really special for us. You can’t go wrong with a visit here, but not a must visit for us.

    Highly recommend this restaurant. Wonderful experience, the food takes you on a beautiful journey which took around 4 hours for the 9 course taster menu. My first try of Slovenian wines too 🤩

    Excellent cuisine. From the starters to the dessert it was very tasty, very well presented and the service perfect. Highly recommended and a very well deserved Michelin star 🌟

    Stopped here for their set lunch. Wow! Delicious food that made me annoyed we were leaving that day without getting to try their tasting menu on an evening. Really great value for the high quality food. Staff really helpful suggesting drinks, and when I said I preferred an IPA to wine she then gave directions to good bars to go to afterwards. Great service.

    Great tasting food with interesting flavour combinations. It was autumn when we visited so autumnal flavours were evident like chestnut, mushrooms, and deer. There is no menu to choose from, you just select from either 5, 7 or 9 courses after explaining any particular allergies or dislikes. We had three 'amuse bouche', then five courses. Would recommend. Fine food but and very relaxed dining area, with optional private spaces too.

    The deer meat was very nice, and the sauce. Many different layers for all the dishes. Shared here are two main dishes - game and trout - and dessert.

    What can I say about Atelje? They have one Michelin star, but the overall ambience is of a great but humble neighborhood pub, with truly epic food served without the pretense and over-attentiveness of other restaurants of its caliber. Instead of changing the cutlery service with each course, they arm you with an evening's worth of it from the beginning. They only change the stemware when they change to a truly different kind of wine. And instead of 4 or 5 attendants for the table, we had one, our waiter Anže, who was dressed simply in a chef smock and apron. Put another way, they leave it all on the table and the plate and in the glass in giving you a great culinary experience.

    Had tasting menu. Rubbish, awful tasting food! They bring out the plates with flamboyance and every dish was awful. They don’t seem to know that sometimes less is more. There was a risotto with sorbet on the same plate!

    The food was superb. The flavours exploded in your mouth, definitely worth trying...Foodie heaven

    Well worth a visit. It is such a pleasure to watch the young team work together. The Slovenian wine pairing is a really good choice to accompany the dishes. It's possible to learn a lot from the sommelier about Slovenian wines during the meal. The portion size was fantastic, it is possible to eat nine courses and not feel stuffed but pleasantly full and actually always ready for more. We can totally understand why Atelje was awarded a Michelin Star and hope that the team will evolve some more to add another one.

    Very good food, wine pairing on point, friendly staff. Would recommend. Takes about 4h for 9 course meal.

    If put this is a star restaurant away, I think it’s a chic place in downtown tho. Decent standard.

  • 5/5 Roel J. 3 years ago on Google
    Super creative dishes, friendly staff, only small point of criticism is the wine pairing. Many oxidated orange / bio wines that are mostly complementary to the dish, but just not so nice on it's own. Luckily they served the amazing Edi Simcic Kolos at our main dish. Great price / quality as well! 9 Course meal with sparkling starter and wine pairing for €150. Totally worth it.

    We had a great evening with perfect food and a very kind waitress. I guess, I drove her insane by letting her create some new cocktails for me. But she mastered it very very well. And the food is delicious, fresh and perfectly balanced.

    Highly recommend!!!! Had a great experience at this restaurant. The service and personal was outstanding, very personal experience and enjoyable moment with my family. We enjoyed the 7 courses which was perfect amount of food (I think the 9 courses will be a bit too much). We had pairing wine tasting and what I love is that the go with Slovenien wines which I’m not very familiar with. It was always a dish on the table and we were always enjoying the moment and not waiting. Pay a visit!!
