Druga Violina

Ljubljana


Just opposite the Academy of Music, the 'Second Fiddle' is an extremely pleasant and affordable place for a meal in the Old Town. There are lots of Slovenian dishes, including ajdova kaša z jurčki (buckwheat groats with ceps) and obara (a thick stew of chicken and vegetables), on the menu. It's a social enterprise designed to help those with disabilities.
