Landerik

Visiting experience -2024

Landerik is a Slovenian culinary tradition, of which there is no shortage in (old) Ljubljana. However, Landerik is not stuck in the past, and is proof that Slovenia is already a true land of gastronomy. Therefore, in order to understand the chef’s first-hand intertwining of tradition and modernity, start to read the menu from back to front, where you are greeted by a long list of Slovenian farms that supply Landerik.

Old Ljubljana

Landerik is in old Ljubljana, but makes Ljubljana a modern city. It is on Stari trg, but it looks neither left nor right. Landerik is for tourists, but because of him the people of Ljubljana have to go back to the city.
