Great location for evening cocktails!

Imagine an elegant terrace in the city center, an evening breeze, a view of Ljubljana Castle!

Somewhere between Wolfova and Slovensko in Ljubljana stands a tree that symbolizes growth, tradition, integration and family. Interwoven with the symbols of keys and with the thought of a top-notch culinary offering, this very tree has become the central symbol of the AS Restaurant, which has been a pillar of Ljubljana’s catering offer since the late nineties and, with its unique cuisine and top-notch wine list, always convinces its guests that some things should be enjoyed with a big spoon.

What they say about themselves in the Gostilna AS Ljubljana

RESTAURANT AS

At the beginning, they place a basket of homemade bread and Karst olive oil in front of you, then they bring you grilled scallops that transport you to a sunny terrace somewhere on the Mediterranean coast. Only later do you smell the thyme and rosemary, which are an integral part of the homemade seafood pasta, and they really come to the fore when combined with a glass of homemade Malvasia, which makes you think you’ll never be able to drink any other wine again.

The first temptation? The richness of Mediterranean cuisine. You go to ASa for the authenticity you get when Pope, the owner of the restaurant, serves you fresh fish, steak or vegetables from a Japanese grill, which combines the Karst love of good with cosmopolitan expertise that stems from the belief that the simplest things can also be the best.
Even more so when they are complemented by a superb wine list that combines Italian, French and other sommelier excesses with the best from all Slovenian wine-growing regions and that manages to turn every plate into an unforgettable culinary experience.
Inspiration? Seafood baked on a Japanese plate with a drop of olive oil and a pinch of spices, Mediterranean miso soup with mussels and fish, pasta with bottarga and, to finish, homemade panna cotta with plum jam. Or homemade pâté, steak and chocolate cake for when you need something really intense. A must-have in combination with a good story that will convince you that it’s worth betting on family tradition, home-made ingredients, and a pinch of expertise.
