4 Best Restaurants in Bled, Slovenia

Meticulously prepared meals, perfectly paired wine, and homemade ice cream are all offered at a premium price for these parts. However, the setting and experience make that excellent value for your money. Elegant yet not intimidating, 1906 facilitates romantic moments and family outings. The hotel also offers wine tastings in its private cellar, organized cooking classes, and theme evenings. The impressive view, knowledgeable staff, and on-site sommelier make this dining experience memorable.

Once a waiting hall for those hoping for an audience with the king (and designed by Plečnik, no less), Cafe Belvedere is now a gorgeous café offering the most exquisite views of Bled. The prices reflect that (expect to pay upwards of €2.60 for an espresso), but finding a better view of the beauty below is downright impossible. The history of the building itself is fascinating, with plenty of nods to Tito. The café is located deep within the grounds of Vila Bled and is only open on weekends.

With large portions at modest prices, this friendly spot is busy year-round. Rowdy farmers take advantage of the cheap beer at the front bar, and everyone loves the menu "for people who work all day": roast chicken and fries, steak and mushrooms, black pudding, and turnips. For dessert, walnut štruklji (dumplings) are served with cream.

If you are a celebrity looking for a bite to eat in Bled, Julijana is where you will likely end up. This restaurant is the top of the region's gastronomic scene, a high-class experience that combines incredible food with equally stunning views of the lake and the castle. Getting a table is challenging, but it is worth the effort.
