Daily guided walk through the Old Town and Central Market with food and wine samples at five restaurants. The meeting point is the Ljubljana Tourist Information Centre beside the Triple Bridge.
The Ljubljana Food Tour is a daily guided walk operated by Roundabout and sold through the Visit Ljubljana tourism portal. It runs year-round, departing at 3PM from the Ljubljana Tourist Information Centre at Adamič-Lundrovo nabrežje 2, beside the Triple Bridge in the heart of the Slovenian capital, in the central Slovenia region. The route covers the Old Town on the banks of the Ljubljanica river and the Central Market, the open-air and covered market area that has long supplied the city with produce, bread, cheese and cured meats. The tour lasts about three and a half hours and is led by a professional English-speaking guide who explains the history of Slovenian cooking and the regional differences that shape it, from Alpine dairy and Karst prosciutto to Pannonian wine country. Along the way, participants taste food and wine samples at five restaurants, so the tour works as a progressive meal rather than a snack. The format leans savoury, with traditional dishes and local wine paired at each stop, and the guide chooses the venues to give a cross-section of what Slovenian kitchens serve. Included in the price are the guide and the tastings at the five restaurants; transport is not needed because the whole route is on foot through the pedestrian-friendly centre, and any extra drinks or purchases at the market are paid separately. The published price is EUR 95.40 per adult, EUR 47.70 for children aged 2 to 12, and free for children under 2. Groups are led at a relaxed walking pace with frequent stops, and the tour suits first-time visitors who want an orientation to both the city centre and the national cuisine. Visitors with dietary restrictions, such as vegetarian, gluten-free or allergy needs, should notify the operator at the time of booking so that the restaurants can prepare for them. Booking is handled through the Visit Ljubljana tour page, which is also the source of the current schedule and availability.
