Nathan Aguilera is a professional food travel blogger. More than three years of traveling around the world has given him a unique insight into local cuisine, and he can recommend the best local dining places and dishes with his own personal experience. This time, he came to the famous open kitchen in Ljubljana.
The trip to the open-air kitchen is the crowning touch of my trip to Slovenia, and it is also one of the food places I highly recommend. Moreover, many friends have gone there to experience it for themselves under my recommendation.
what is an outdoor kitchen? This is the most high-end food activity I have ever participated in. When I travel to every city, I almost recommend it to my friends there!
the open-air kitchen was set up by the founder Lior in 213 to present all the best food in Slovenia to the public in one place. Merchants who want to join the open-air kitchen need to meet the following three conditions: 1. Quality merchants need to be among the top 1 best restaurants in Slovenia; 2. Innovative businesses need to integrate their creativity into high-end street snack activities: no matter how exquisite the dishes in the restaurant are, the dishes cooked by businesses for the open-air kitchen should conform to the characteristics of street snacks; The food sold in each store must be different.
such strict requirements have given birth to an unparalleled street snack experience in the open-air kitchen. Under the leadership of Lior, the founder, we were very excited to visit this gourmet resort, which was full of harvest!
in the open kitchen, the first thing we enter is drinks. Not only all kinds of delicious food are sold here, but also all kinds of craft beer, local wine and cocktails are served.
We went to booth after booth, and Lior explained every dish to us all the way, encouraging us to try those dishes that looked delicious. Accompanied by him, we almost tasted all the delicious food in the nearby stalls, which was really enjoyable!
The open-air kitchen serves not only authentic Slovenian dishes, but also novel international cuisine. All the stall owners are happy to stop their work and chat with us, explain various snacks to us and provide samples.
fortunately, we avoided the lunch rush hour and saw the chef cooking delicious food on the spot.
there were more than 4 vendors that day. Although we really want to eat them all, we really have enough to watch plates of fresh and delicious food being served to the expected guests.
It's really hard for me to choose the food I must eat, because I don't know if the food stall I recommended will be available when you go, but if you see a stall selling roasted whole pigs and baked potatoes (seasoned with spices), please try it!
Besides, the horse burger is also worth a try!
believe me, it's really super delicious! The bacon inside is also made of good horse meat! I was only going to try a small bite, but I didn't expect it to be delicious. Even though my stomach was full, I ate the whole big hamburger.
If you are a vegetarian, there are many vegetarian dishes in the open kitchen, and some stalls also sell vegetarian dishes.
I have been to so many countries in the world and eaten so many delicious foods, so I gave Ljubljana the title of the best high-end gourmet event in the open-air kitchen. If you travel to Ljubljana, you must eat in the open kitchen!
