The following list is the food items we tried at the restaurant including the local names from the menu:
1) Slovenian carniolan sausage (kranjska klobasa) with sauerkraut cabbage mashed rooty potatoes
2) Slovenian stuffed pasta (Idrijski žlikrofi) with a lamb ragout (similar to goulash)
3) Slovenian dessert (prekmurska gibanica) a puffed pastry from Prekmurje made with eight different layers including raisins, apples, walnuts, seeds, poppy seeds and cottage cheese
4) Slovenian red wine (Refošk red dry - Vina Koper)

Slovenian Food Review - Trying traditional Slovenian dishes in Ljubljana, Slovenia Travel Video Transcript:
Well hello hello and welcome to another food video. Today we're having lunch here in Ljubljana so we figured we need to show you what Slovenian food is all about. Now I've never had Slovenian food before ever because I don't think it is really popular outside of Europe but um Sam brought us to Allegria. He spotted this place yesterday so we are here. We've ordered our wine. We've got our basket of bread so let's get to it.
Sam and I both got the same red wine. And what is the biggest surprise with this? Yes, the local red. Biggest surprise is now that we've had two restaurant meals here in Ljubljana is that they typically serve the red wine chilled.
The food arrived pretty quickly so let me show you my dish first. I ordered the grilled Slovenian sausage (kranjska klobasa) with sauerkraut or cabbage and this kind of like purple-y potato so let's just dig right in. Look it is like a double sausage actually. It looks big. Let's divide it. Big and juicy.
It is a really nice way to be starting our Slovenian cuisine experience. Yeah, and now we're moving on to what Sam ordered.
Sam is going in for the Idrijski žlikrofi I believe it is called.
Yes. We could totally be butchering it. And inside is basically pork, herbs and onions.
And it comes with a lamb ragout. It looks so good. I'm making sure to get a bit of lamb.
This is just so good. Such hearty food. Yeah? Again not spicy at all though. It is just like kind of that comfort savory food. And I really like the pasta. It is actually quite densely stuffed.
Well dessert has arrived. It sure has. Here before us we have a traditional Slovenian dessert (prekmurska gibanica) whose name I cannot pronounce. But I can tell you the ingredients. It is basically kind of like a puffed pastry like with lots of little crispy layers and inside it has apples, cottage cheese, walnuts and sometimes it can have raisins. It also has poppyseed and it has all been dusted with a little bit of icing sugar.
Another very filling meal here in Ljubljana, Slovenia. I have to say.. And in terms of price point that came to 28 Euros so that included two glasses of red wine, two mains and a dessert to share. It is packed outside and it is packed inside so it is a great restaurant. I'd highly recommend coming here in Ljubljana.

The “purple potato" is mashed potato and mashed kidney beans mixed together (also called matevž).
Oh, thanks for letting us know! It made for a nice side dish.
Je tako
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos 'matevž' should be with rosted pork chunks an lots of garlic, that way prepared is very tasty. And 'zelje' is not always that sour on our home plates:) Don't you ask what you eating when served? That way you can explain it to your public:) Anyway. Thanks for what you are doing. More vids like that.
@@samuelandaudrey Matevž is also a relatively common Slovenian name. My cousin is named Matevž. :)
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos ,
Ljubljana was one of our surprise favourite places to visit. The Old Town was amazing and not full of tourists. Enjoying your posts very much.
That is great to hear! Totally agree with you. It is not so big or crowded that it has lost any of its charm.
Hi from Slovenia! It's so cool to see how people from abroad thik of us
and it's not just the potatoe. It's purple bean
Yea we call this combination Matevž
My great grandmother on my mothers side is from Slovenia. My grandmother would make dishes from there. This is one place I want to visit.
That is cool to hear! Hope you can visit soon.
don't hesitate, dobrodošla v Sloveniji
ZeeQue Your welcome in Lenart, Slovenia
My great grandfather on my mother's side was from Slovenia, too
Slovenian here: the dessert is called Prekmurska gibanica. English translation is: Over-Mura-moving cake :)
Oh! Thank you for letting us know!
Im Slovene too. And does that bread realyy have cheese on it? I never knew that
hihi, V bistvu ima sir znotraj, na vrhnji plasti pa je kisla smetana gor namazana =) (yeah, actually it has cheese in between layers but it also has sour cream applied on the last layer (before it is baked)
Oh, and one more thing: It isn't bread with cottage cheese. It is actually Prekmurska gibanica.
Aha, hvala/. Ok,thanks

I was also in Vienna and visited that restaurant. Food was so delicious! If you have any questions about Slovenia, just ask.
Thank you very much! We would love to explore more of Slovenia.
The red wine makes me want to drink. I wish I drank it now with friends. Let's countdown New Year with this 'RED WINE.' I love it. Love You All :)))
Thank you! Sharing some with friends is definitely best :)

Thanks for letting us know!
Good vdo i ll visit Balkan this Autumn...
Thank you! That is cool to hear. Enjoy your time there.
Sailom ch cool if You decide to Come to the Village of Lenart in slovenia I might see you
That made us hungry and we just ate dinner ^^
You guys are my favorite to watch on You Tube. I have to be sure to eat before I watch or I will die. What is your favorite place ever that you visited? Mine is Key West and New Orleans.
Thank you very much! Audrey visited Key West a few years ago on a journalist trip and had a really good time. I remember they were eating Key Lime Pie almost every meal...lol Did you have lots of that? NOLA is maybe the city I'm most excited about visiting someday in the US. How many days would you suggest? For us, it changes all of the time but in recent travels I would say Budapest for me and Mostar (not yet out on our channel) for Audrey.
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos Stay at least 3 or 4 days. So much to see, French quarter, Cemeteries, antique markets, music and the food is amazing. It is so beautiful there. You guys are amazing and so fun to watch.
Hahaha exactly! Never go to the supermarket or watch this channel while hungry
Ljubljana was one of my favorite places to eat! Sometimes me and my bf consider going back there just to stuff ourselves :p
Next time you come to Ljubljana I suggest restavracija Na gradu(literary On the castle) great food, best world female chef 2017(Ana Ros) used to be on the team, if I'm not mistaken. And the food is top notch- traditional slovenian but on another level, not to mention the wines...
Thank you! Hope we can check it out next time. It must have great views as well!
Well the restaurant is in the castle courtyard, celling to floor windows and brick insides, but doesn't look on the city.
I ate in Ljubliana in Pod Sokolem restaurant and their Peasants Dish was outstanding,
Oh, that is cool to hear!
Damn I feel baaaad,... I'm Slovenian, I study Ethnology and I've never tried žlinkrofi -.- Awesome video guys ;)
Do you have to brag about how ignorant dumbass you are?
Kocka33 yeah it feels wonderful 😘
Jaz sem tudi Slovenka. In Jaz tudi nisem probala
Alenka Trogrlič
žlikrofi so
Reče se žlikrofi :)
Thanks, I enjoyed this! Heading to Slovenia this summer and glad to know it's inexpensive. €28 buys you 3 small glasses of wine in Helsinki haha
Thank you! Indeed, it is much cheaper than Finland but we sure do miss Finland and Salmiakki :)
Nice
Thanks!
Nice to see people who like our food.
Thanks! We loved it.
Great video! very nicely structured. I would like to know which parts were shot on canon G7XII please!
Thank you very much! To be honest most parts were shot on the Panasonic GH5 because we used an external microphone for better audio quality. To see videos where we use the G7Xii more check out our travel vlogs where we go from one place to the next.
Umm Slovenia and Slovakia are not neighbours. Just saying😁
Ah, our bad. Austria in the middle :)
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos
Yup
I am going to liubliana on the 22nd of october. I' ll give allegria a try
That is cool to hear! Hope you have a great visit and eat lots of tasty food :)
The red-haired dude in the video is likable and articulate. I enjoyed his descriptions. Thanks for showing us this foreign cuisine!
Thank you very much!
Audri pasame el secreto de comer y comer y no engordar jejeje saludos, se que el video es viejo pero disfruto viendo sus viajes por el mundo y he empezado aprender ingles.
Muchas gracias Carolina!
i wish i can go in slovenia and try there food😍😘
Hope you can soon!
thank you😘
you guys have great videos! I first watch the San Pedro Atacama one because we are here at the moment. Also, do you guys edit your own videos? I’m very impressed :). We are traveling through South America for 1 year and I would like to video document everything but I get so lazy haha.
Thank you! Your trip sounds amazing. Where do you plan to go in SA? Yes, we do edit everything ourselves.
Im from slovenia and i like this food
Cool to hear! What else should we try?
Love your hat haha
Thank you Lukael! Just love it.
@@samuelandaudrey Thank you for this video it was very handy as I'm planning a trip to Slovenia next month!
kranjska kobasica with potato salad 👍
Thanks for letting us know!
This is pecenica, not krajnska klobasica. Krajnska klobasica has to be reddish color because it's smoked. Also it tastes different, because of the smoke and when prepared it's cooked and not fryed on oil or pig-grease as pecenica. But otherwise the ingredients of the sausage are the same.
I want to eat in Slovenia now
Thank you! They have some delicious food!
LJUBLJANA ❤️ SLOVENIJA
Same here!
The moment I got to @5:42, I became hungry. Haha.
Hello guys! Are you coming back to Argentina in 2018? You have to visit Ushuaia and try Centolla (kingcrab), Cordero Patagonico (Patagonic Lamb) and chocolates you will falling in in love with the land of fire.
Send you a big hug from Argentina!
Thank you very much! Ah, that would be an amazing trip. We hope to be back in the fall of next year :)
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos if you come in that season maybe you can do sky or snowboard in the Cerro Castor, visit the seawolf Island, the beacon of the end of the world, etc.
That would be so cool! Really want to visit during the colder months as well :)
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos. La van a pasar bién asique ya saben Tierra del Fuego los espera 😊
you pronounced žlikrofi really well!
Thank you! :)
gladly!
LJUBLJANA No1 CITY
Yum! I grew up on Slovenian sausage.
You should’ve gone to the tourist board and asked about traditional restaurants. There are a few that are so fabulous.
Thanks! Hope we can try more restaurants if we visit again.
Hi! I’m from Slovenia 🇸🇮
Cool to hear!
If you're in a country like Slovenia, which is relatively new to tourism, you'd probably have better luck tracking down traditional and locally authentic food by finding a way to get yourself invited into the homes of ordinary people who happen to be good cooks. Even Slovenian restaurants that offer Slovenian food may Frenchify their dishes a bit for the sake of satisfying tourists' expectations. You may, of course, not have known any Slovenians when you had this meal, which would make a more personal approach to food tourism difficult, but if you made a few friends during your time there, maybe on your next visit you can swing a home-cooked meal or two.
Thank you! Having a meal with a local is a great suggestion.
I like your t-shirt
Thanks! It is my new fav shirt :)
Oh wait! We've still got dessert coming! Lol
LOL
Hi Audrey & sam. Your dinner looked very wonderful. Your dessert though...... now this was awhile ago so I don't even know what kind of restaurant it was . And this wasn't a dessert but it was a bread with cottage cheese in it. And I never came across it again. All I know is that I loved it. Do you know of this kind of bread??, since you travel alot I thought you might of. Come across lt. Let me know and as always best wishes from Bethlehem pa.
Thank you! Ah, good question. I wonder if it was a special type of cottage cheese burek possibly?
No,tfs wrong with you? That is dessert its called gibanica and its 100 pricent NOT bread!
sirovi štruklji i think u are talking about. and no burek cannot be a dessert ever xD and burek is also not slovenie xD
Where do you cone from Samuel and Audrey?
My Great Grandpa was born in Sentgotard Slovenia and moved to the states in the 1890's, my great Grandmother was born in Slovenia as well but not sure what town. My family and I are planning a trip to go back and see where we come from probably in Sept. 2021, maybe run into some family while we are there. Not sure if that would happen, but it would be cool to find some family there.
Wow, that is great to hear Travis! Wishing you all the best with your trip.
@@samuelandaudrey Thank You
Thanks!
My mother used to make stuff like here in the United States, that food at 6:35. It's easily done with left over beef roast beef and wide ribbon noodles. It tastes killer. But if my mom gave my dad that amount of food he would say it was not even enough to fill a cavity in his tooth. I got to try that. Lard, tomatoes, tomato sauce, green bell pepper, onions, yellow chile pepper for that pop of heat, salt, black pepper, paprika piled way higher with on a giant bed of dutch noodles, french bread and wine and beer and milk. The flavors are still dancing in my mouth. And we were skinny except dad did get to 225.He couldn't accept he couldn't pig out after 35 anymore. I'd ask my mom but I she's suffering from dementia now. 87 will do that to you especially if your from the neighborhood. Who would think you could get something so grand from leftovers. Oh yeah, we did. See the Italians and the French have their style and we had our style. My parents were Hungarian but the grocery store was not , it was American, so fusion time. Peace.
:) well , i'm getting hungry now.
Wish we could share!
ohhhh
thanks
You picked the worst possible restaurant to eat typical slovenian food :/ You should have went to a place where locals eat traditional, most of the better ones are located 10-15 min outside of Ljubljana...
Can you recommend a place for others to try?
sure thing:) top places to eat authentic traditional Slovene food are: pri Stričku, pr Kopač, gostilna Čot, spodnji Kirn, gostilna Burica, gostilna Janežič, gostilna Skaručna, pri Kuklju...and many more;)
enjoy! best regards
Dorian Spanzel, res res. Najboljši so v pokrajinah in po deželi, ne v mestu!!!
Dorian Spanzel ja to je v Ljubljani v Mariboru je vse boljše
@@samuelandaudrey so pretty girl
where you from if i may
Suzana X
It is not kranjska klobasa, it is called pecenica it is made same as kranjska klobasa but it is unsmoked and backed-fried fresh unlike kranjska klobasa which is boiled
Btw in Slovenija we do soak souer crout in vinegar.
Thanks for letting us know.
no not necessaraly...my grandma makes it at home and just leaves the cabbage to ferment on its own thats how it gets very sour
Next time try jurman restaurant good and cheap.....
Peruana afortunada provecho ,por favor como se llama ese plato se ve espectacular
You were in Sarajevo in 1984? Are you Highlander?

Nice to see you wearing that Ukrainian T-shirt:)
Thank you! My new fav :)

Thank you!
Are you coming to Serbia?
Unfortunately, we won't make to Serbia on this trip. We'll be doing Croatia, Bosnia & Herzegovina and Montenegro. Would love to do Serbia, Albania and Macedonia next time :) Any recommendations for travel in Serbia specifically?
Oh my god you are in my city and I didn't meet you :'( daamn feels bad
Oh, that is too bad! We sure enjoyed visiting though. Hope we can come back again.
We have the finest wines. We love (teran)
Yeah, they're so good.
Why is their channel description in serbian? They aren't serbs? Do they just speak a bunch of languages including serbian?
Probably bc you're in Serbia. I think it's auto-translated. I see it in my language not Serbian.
Skuta means?
cottage cheese
I’m from Slovenia
Cool to hear!
I do not eat pork, but thank you for sharing.
Thank you! Did the dessert look appealing?
It’s gibanica l thing the delight
Slovenci kje ste?
✌️🇸🇮
prekmurska gibanica is the name of the desirt
I eat this all day and i live in sloven
Oh, that sounds delicious!
You should of tried also krvavica, zelje, štrudel, potica, goveja juha, žlikrofi, žganci and kislo mleko... But then you would be full 😋 great video, thanks :)
Thanks for the recommendation!
Great video? Are you kiddig. It looks like 2 dumb Muricans parachuted into Lj from a F 16
kvaj s tabo mogla bi probat mal sarme kljukuse cevapo pleskavce pa mau boranije
Adrian bellani obradović če probavata slovensko hrano. Ti pa naštevaš hrano turškega oz. bosanskega izvora, če se ne motim.
Ponosen_Slovenec kaki štrudel reče se štrukl
What the best traditional food in Europe? Maybe you can share the recipe. Terimakasih 😀
Hey, what it is in Indonesia. Ajinomoto? Europe is even more diverse than Indonesia.
Kocka33 hahaha ajinomoto is product of flavoring or msg.
In Indonesian food ajinomoto get used to their recipe.
Slovenian and food
:)
I'm from slovenia
Cool! Where do you live in Slovenia?
In Ljubljana
Alenka troglič is another youtubr go check her chanel
That is my county
Cool!
Dear God, no! I suppose the wine you had was refošk, and it was NOT supposed to be served chilled. 15-18 °C is acceptable, anything below, not really. We have a highly developed wine culture in Slovenia and I propose you take a wine tour if you ever come to our little part of the world again. I think you will not be disappointed if you are wine lovers.
Thank you! Would love to come back to enjoy more wine.
Its probably the same a s in Bosnian rest. yday, dumbass said. What an amateurs!!! This is laughable!
IdijotSLO ja prav maš jaz ponavadi samo teran pijem

Best food in Europe:)
It is really tasty.
Big call
And that's it? It' all about Slovenian restaurants?
GUYS REALLY THAT Y´ALL THINK THAT 28 FOR THE WHOLE THING THAT YOU ATE IS NOT CHEAP. OMG THAT PALTRY
Slovenia and Slovakia are not neighbor countries at all!
The dessert is Prekmurska gibanica and it’s so yummy! 😉
Our mistake with that.
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos Live and learn, right?! 🤗
Btw you are pronouncing Slovene words for food very well! 😉
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos It’s all good, we’ll be learning things all of our lives!
Can you point North Korea on the map? Hahahaha
¿Cómo está avanzando el canal español?
Va bien! Tenemos un nuevo video por semana en ese canal. :)

Thank you very much!
Slovenia is beautiful country

That cabbage has been soaking in vinegar, it's saurkraut
