And here it is at last: the true Ljubljana spring, when the willows along the Ljubljanica turn green, fruit trees burst into bloom, and the city’s café terraces fill with cheerful locals soaking up the warm sunshine. By now, we’ve surely revisited our favourite foodie spots and are ready to explore the new arrivals that this spring has brought (or is still bringing).

On the occasion of the third anniversary of his Bistro Georgie, we sat down with Chef Gregor Jelnikar to talk about the journey so far and the steps they’re planning for the future. In recent years, the bistro has established itself among both locals and international visitors as a reliable, high-quality choice for a bistro-style lunch or an elegant tasting dinner. He shared the changes they’ve experienced along the way, the values and goals they remain committed to, and what we can expect in the near and more distant future.

We sat down with Simona Česen, 2025 national sommeliership champion and head sommelier at Ljubljana’s Wine Bar Šuklje, to talk about what her job really involves, the skills it demands, and how sommelier competitions work. In an engaging conversation full of insights, we also explored the rising role of women in the wine world, the evolution of Slovenia’s and the global wine scene, and how sommeliers help share knowledge and expand public appreciation, playing a key part in cultivating a richer wine culture.

In collaboration with the inhabitants of various districts of the city and representatives of the creative sector, Ljubljana Tourism is working hard to promote the development of recognisable cultural and artistic quarters.
