About Druga Violina

Introducing Druga Violina Restaurant, a place I like to describe as quietly special and deeply rooted in the everyday rhythm of the old town, sitting right at Stari trg 21, 1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia, where the streets feel lived-in and the atmosphere invites you to slow down. Druga Violina isn’t about flashy trends or overworked concepts; instead, it focuses on being a welcoming restaurant where food, people, and purpose come together naturally. When you walk in, there’s a warm, unpretentious energy that makes you feel comfortable almost instantly, and that feeling carries through whether you choose to sit inside or enjoy outdoor seating while watching the city pass by. The menu leans into simple, thoughtful dishes, making it an easy choice for a quick bite or a more relaxed dine-in experience, and the availability of small plates means you can sample without pressure. Vegetarian options are handled with care rather than as an afterthought, which is always refreshing, and everything pairs easily with a glass of wine, a local beer, or even just a good cup of coffee if you’re stopping by earlier in the day. Alcohol and spirits are available, yet they never overpower the food-first approach that defines the place. Service feels genuine and human, not scripted, and that alone sets Druga Violina apart in a city full of dining options. Delivery is also available, which makes it accessible even when you’re not in the mood to head out, while still keeping the same relaxed identity intact. Located in the heart of Ljubljana, the restaurant blends effortlessly into its surroundings, offering a space that feels inclusive, honest, and easy to return to, whether you’re visiting for the first time or bringing someone along to show them a spot that feels authentically local.

We were a bit nervous in the beggining because it was the first time in this type of restaurant, but the experience was similar as any other restaurant and the food was really good. We had a wienner schnitzel, traditional goulash and cheese dumplings. The schnitzel was great, goulash was good as well but the Hungarian one fits better my taste. This one had no potatoes or any other vegetables, just the creamy soup and very good beef. We ordered water and lemonade for drinks - the water was tap water and we didn't pay for it (something new for us) and lemonade was actually lemonade juice with water - no honey or sugar, not really my taste. Overall it was a very good experience but I don't know if I would come here again

This review must be read in consideration that most of the staff have some sort of mental or physical disability. The staff is very kind. Food was very delicious, fair prices, large servings; our group of young adult men had more than enough to eat. we had to wait quite a while for our food though. Would definitely recommend, but some patience is required considering the people that are employed.

I got this restaurant recommended by AI. The restaurant is nice, with a good atmosphere, especially if you can sit outside. The food is OK. I had the vegetarian option, which was nothing surprising, but nothing bad either. The interesting thing about this restaurant is that the service includes people with special needs. This is very nice to see, especially knowing how hard it is for them to find work. If that bothers you, be mindful.
