Ek Bistro

Top choice in Ljubljana


Ljubljana's top spot for brunch, meaning in this case big slices of avocado toast on homemade bread, bowls of muesli and yoghurt, and eggs Benedict on fresh-baked English muffins. Wash it down with a glass of freshly squeezed something or a flat white. The fresh-cut flowers on the tables look great against the distressed brick walls.
