Gostilna Breg

Visiting experience -2024

The menu at Gostilna Breg is as colourful and varied as the tourists, people strolling and the hungry, thirsty and curious along the banks of the Ljubljanica river; from tataki to tartare, from crudo to parmigiana, from steamed buns with pork belly to saddle of dry aged Krskopolje pork, from steak to ‘steak’, from homemade tiramisu to sourdough bread ice-cream. Hence Gostilna Breg’s popularity, and because of the chef the menu features dishes that other restaurants that line the banks of the Ljubljanica river offer. Breg, however, has more ideas, which not only satiate the hungry but also the curious. Breg is a place for sharing and relaxing.

Crudo

It is not necessary to compare slices of greater amberjack in rhubarb juice with others, but with your own… In Nazorjeva (Aftr), Zupan’s gof is similar, but different enough that in the middle of the city its “rawness” is deeper, more layered and with a longer memory. In Breg, however, it can be more direct, refreshing and lively. But it’s not just sashimi-carpaccio-ceviche-crudo, provided by the “harpooning” of opposites, with rhubarb, red onion and tarragon.

Parmigiana

Where lasagna is, parmigiana is not far away, at least in summer… After all, eggplant and tomatoes in such a gratin version are big enough guarantee that guests will prefer the umami gratin with stracciatella cheese and panko crumbs even more.
