Use the search tool to discover which restaurants hold the Slovenia Green label and choose a dining experience with added value.
When Sustainability Is Part of the Taste
Slovenian cuisine is at its most compelling when outstanding flavour is supported by a responsible approach. For many years, Restaurant Week has encouraged the use of local and seasonal ingredients, close cooperation with Slovenian producers, and a respectful attitude towards food. The Slovenia Green brand builds on this foundation with a broader understanding of sustainability—one that also embraces care for the environment, the landscape, and the community.
Shared Values: Local, High-Quality, Responsible
The connection between Restaurant Week and Slovenia Green highlights a holistic approach to contemporary gastronomy. Beyond the selection of high-quality ingredients, the focus is also on strong ties with the local environment, responsible use of natural resources, reducing waste, lowering the carbon footprint, and maintaining high hygiene and sanitary standards. These practices are increasingly becoming an integral part of the best Slovenian kitchens.
Sustainability as Added Value and a Clear Choice
The spotlight is on restaurants that embrace sustainability as an integral part of their everyday operations—from locally sourced ingredients, seasonality, and shorter supply chains to the mindful use of energy, water, and materials. Here, sustainability is not a constraint, but an added value that enhances the overall dining experience and builds trust.
To make choosing easier, restaurants that are part of the Slovenia Green programme or meet the Slovenia Green criteria are clearly marked with the Slovenia Green label in the Restaurant Week search tool. This allows guests to quickly identify venues that consistently put sustainable principles into practice.
Sustainability as Added Value and a Clear Choice
Reducing food waste is one of the key sustainability challenges in the hospitality sector. Leading kitchens show that excellence is also measured by how efficiently and respectfully every ingredient is used—through better planning, whole-ingredient cooking, and thoughtfully designed portions and processes. This approach results not only in less waste, but also in greater genuine value on the plate.
That is why the connection between Slovenia Green and Restaurant Week strengthens the story of Slovenian gastronomy as a space where expertise, local tradition, and a forward-looking mindset come together. Here, sustainability is not an end in itself, but a natural part of good cuisine—one that respects the environment, supports local producers, and enriches the guest experience.
