Gostilna Dela

Ljubljana


This delightful bistro serves tasty homestyle cuisine, only much better. From the soups and the meat and vegetarian main courses to the shop-made štruklji (cheese dumplings), it's all memorable. The breakfast omelettes stretch off the plate. What's more, 'Dela' (Work) is helping to create job opportunities for local youth otherwise excluded from the working world. Breakfast and lunch only.
