Amazing ceviche, sushi, dessert. Can't describe flavours well enough to give it justice (passion fruit, green tea with (raw) fish, but everything mixes so well, ingredients are fresh, scene is intimate (only a handful of tables), food is prepared in front of you... 10/10. Contact me for my favourites :)

+ only ten minutes' walk from the historical city centre of Ljubljana brings you to a renovated Ljubljanica river embankment landscaped as a park. The park's name, Špica, translates as 'pointed tip' and refers to the embankment's pointed shape. In the past, Špica was a town beach. Due to its pleasant green surroundings and a large area paved with wood, it still attracts numerous residents and visitors wanting to bask in the sun on fine weather days. ++ Spica cafe where you can sit and relax over a glass of wine or great coffee (operated by Kaval group which runs many of Slovenias great restaurants/cafes) +++ sometimes live music
