Splashed across the front of this canalside restaurant in Trnovo is the slogan ‘Manna: Božanske Jedi na Zemlji’ (Manna: Heavenly Dishes on Earth). Its divine contemporary Slovenian cuisine includes delicacies such as cold smoked trout and tiny traditional dumplings (žlikrofi) of bear meat from Kočevje. For mains there's plenty of fish from the Adriatic and a scrumptious roast lamb dish.
Manna has very stylish decor and a wonderful covered inner terrace for dining almost al fresco.
