LJUBLJANA CHEF'S DINNER
THE LUXURIOUS WAY TO END YOUR TRIP TO 
MAGICAL LJUBLJANA

Ljubljana Chef's Dinner

We’re really excited to offer the Ljubljana Chef’s Dinner to all our guests staying in any of our Fine Ljubljana Apartments. You can have a top class chef from one of the city’s trendy restaurants come in to the apartment in which you’re staying and prepare dinner for yourself and your group.

What’s more, the dinner will be prepared right before your eyes so you’ll have the chance to see an experienced chef in action and have the opportunity to ask questions and to pick up cooking tips.

There is an excellent menu to choose from and you have the option to have 3, 4, 5 or 6 courses. Obviously menu choices need to be made before the evening because your chef and his staff will need time to buy the freshest ingredients.

They will bring the ingredients to your holiday apartment, prepare, cook and serve the food all the while engaging in interesting conversation about the recipe choices and cooking techniques.

Please Note: You may make your choices from the menu, but guests may only choose one combination of dishes for all guests, i.e. you cannot mix and match the different dishes.

We want the Ljubljana Chef’s Dinner experience to be tailored to your exact wants and needs so it is our aim to be as accommodating as possible.

That being said, because of the nature of this unique culinary event our chefs do need some advance notice to prepare, and of course there is the chance that dates during the peak season will become sold out.

We strongly suggest that if you are interested in having a Chef’s Dinner you inquire at the same time as making your Ljubljana holiday apartment reservation.
