JB Restaurant

Visiting experience -Visit 2022

Try, for example, chocolate with parsley, beetroot with balsamic vinegar, parmesan in a ‘balloon’, foie gras with garlic, cuttlefish with cod … and you will learn about real flavour. JB may not (yet) have any Michelin stars, it does, however, always have the JB signature!

JB

We disagree with those who say that JB is the best right now (2022)! The main feature of the JB restaurant is precisely that it has been excellent for so long and always!

JB restavracija, Janez Bratovž

Family

The superb culinary salon of the Bratovž family in the superb Plečnik architecture.

When will it be? When it does, it will be too late… Because it’s a shame, it’s not worth the words.

Butter

Toasted brioche, herb cracker and homemade grissini. Homemade butter with baked yeast and butter with beetroot.

Amuse-bouche

Amues-bouche is on the wish tree, which comes true because it has just blossomed, so everything is nice, fresh and, of course, still hot: fried cod in cuttelfish tempura with lemon cream; shrimp wrapped in beef and fried, with black garlic cream; crisp with porcini mushroom cream; a donut filled with aubergine cream and smoked duck breast on top.
