Guidebook for Ljubljana
Food Scene
Extremely focused dinner menu, which changes every week. Luda is a great spot to try modern Slovenian food and organic wines. They keep things seasonal and local, which means I've never had a bad meal there and always felt I got my value for the money. The places is run by a group of friends and that warmth translates to a friendly and comfortable dinning experience. 3 course menu: 20EUR Full tasting menu: 30EUR.
