Slovenia Food

Slovenia food means in first place slow food! In Slovenia the slow food movement and organic food prevails. Sitting down for a good meal is understood as a god-given right rather than luxury. Learn here more about the slovene dishes.

Impressive Variety

More than 1200 national dishes demonstrate the impressive variety of culinary traditions. Slovenian tradional dishes differ greatly from region to region. It’s however not easy to find a traditional slovene food like mlinci or ajdovi zganci.

Strong influenced by its neighbours

The ravioli like zlinkrofi are typical italian. Austria has contributed zavitek (Strudel), Dunajski zrezek (Wiener Schnitzel) and klobase (sausages). From Hungary there is golaz (goulash), palacinke (thin pancakes) and paprikas (beef or chicken stew).

These are all examples of a national cuisine that wholeheartedly embraces italian, hungarian, austrian and croatian influences. And thi is usually combined with an overwhelming genuine Slovenian hospitality – what a great holiday experience!

Soup on!

A Slovenian meal is only complete with a soup. This could be a goveja juha z rezanci (beef broth with thin egg noodles) – My favorite! This could also be gobova kremna juha (creamed mushroom soup) or a healthy zelenjavna juha (vegetable soup).

Baked delicacies

The Slovenian Potica reminds me always on my slovene gradmother. She made the best one! Don’t miss to try this cake roll filled with walnuts, raisins and various herbs. There are also variations with poppy seeds or cottage cheese.

Another delicacy is gibanica. This pastry could also be filled with walnuts, apple, poppy seeds and chesse – including a cream topping.

Burek – A Snack to Go!

But even in the slow food destination destination you will find a "fast food tradition". A typical one and very popular is Burek – an old Balkan stand-by. It is a layered pie with cheese, meat or apples. You can get it especially at takeaway places.

Special Tip:

If you wish to try slovenia food in traditional dishes the best places to go are go inns and inns. (gostilna or gostisce)
